And they took it back.
In 1982, Margrite Thatcher, flush with victory at Falklands, went to china to say Hong Kong belongs to Britain just like Falkland. Appearently the Chinese response was so harsh the Iron Lady almost fainted, and stumbled down stairs on the way out of the meeting. Shortly thereafter the british agree to give Hong Kong back in 15 years. That happened in 1997.
Considering Hong Kong was the crown jewel of what was left of the British Empire, being responsible over half of the total economic output of the British possessions, I would say the British scampered home with their tails between their legs.
