Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula were ceded in Perpetuity to the English Crown, and should have stayed 'English'

Be careful what you say about the Hong Kong Agreement - the ghost of Margaret Thatcher is watching over you.

When Deng Xiaoping pointed out to her that the 5% of Hong Kong that would remain British had no supply of electricity or water and most people who staffed the Banks and other Financial Centres lived outside the perpituity area, even she eventually had to give in - something she rarely did.

Actually, "One Country Two Systems" was quite a generous solution from Deng Xiaoping, given the cards he held. I doubt the current Chinese leadership would be so generous, especially given recent events.
