No, it wasn't. Hong Kong was ceded to the British. An adjacent part of mainland China was leased to the British on a 99 year lease. When the lease was nearing up, China told the British the lease won't be renews and BTW they wanted Hong Kong back as well, and by force is necessary. Thatcher capitualated.
