Hong Kong was ceded to the UK, not leased. The part that was later leased from China was just the New Territories, not the whole of Hong Kong. Expand Point being that the U.K left Hong Kong willingly and were not chased off Well, that's your point now! Previously, it was "leased Hong Kong" nonsense!

This is the relevant part of the comment that you posted in reference to Hong Kong in general that I, and someone else, disputed... "The British ... leased the land from China and the lease expired". That was untrue, Hong Kong was not leased from China, only the part that became the New Territories was leased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
