That's right. A 100 year lease but in total a 156 year occupation of Chinese territory. Did you know that the 100 year lease didn't include language that after it's over the lessee gets to demand additional concessions? Even TheLastStarFighter's rebuttal that there is no Chinese victim says that they "conceded" to allow fully owned foreign factories in their country to get Trump to relax the American trade "WAR".it has to do with the repatriation treaty between the United Kingdom and China. Hong Kong was previously a British colony after the a first Opium War and on a 99 year lease.HK was returned to China in 97 or 98 with the proviso that it be self-governing (keeping their Western-style democracy). It was called a One Country, 2 government policy (if I am not mistaken). Lots of Hong Kongers fled before repatriation knowing the Communist government would eventually change their minds. See current events.
