“Hong Kong was always a Chinese city.”
Hong Kong didn’t exist.
It was not a city before the Emperor sold it to the UK forever.
Don’t say things you know nothing about.

??? The area now known as Hong Kong was occupied by the Chinese for centuries before the British forced the Chinese to hand it over (at the end of the First Opium War).
That is not a particular knock against the British. That’s just the way things were done in those days. If you were strong enough to take it, you took it.
