Officially the "ownership" of Hong Kong was a 99-year lease which ended in 1997. I don't know of all of the details of why the Brits set it up that way in 1898. This is different from our lease of Guantanamo which has no expiration date.

Common misconception.
Hong Kong was ceded in perpetuity.
The agreement between UK and PRC did was not based on the lease of New Territories running out and was not mentioned or cited in the handover agreement.
