FYI, The island was permanently given to British, then the rest of HK was a lease with conditions that British could avoid to hand it back. Plus, it is the Taiwan Gov who holding the lease, not PRC. The Brit should had let HK independent the way India did, but instead Brit sold HK to PRC. Bowing to PRC threats, the Brit cant even let HK ppl pick its gov b4 the handover even it was agreed on basic law.
