Yes, because

And apparently we forced China to ceed it to us in perpetuity in 1840 something. We then realised keeping it wasn't going to work and arranged a phased handover with the 99 year lease.

You don't see any similarities? An island far away from the UK filled with people who think they are British Citizens that we decided to hand over to the neighbouring power?
