Actually, the UK's 99 year lease was only the New Territories of Kowloon. Hong Kong Island was ceded to the UK in perpetuity. It was wrong that Thatcher and her predecessor caved to the threats and blandishments of China to return the whole territory. It is time we corrected this historical injustice.
