Britain should have never given it back to China.
Quoting: jt210 They had no choice. The lease on Kowloon (the "mainland" part of Hong Kong) was up. And without that, Hong Kong Island was indefensible. China would have just attacked it with army and navy. China made it very clear at the handover that this wasn't voluntary on Britain's part. A week or two before, Chinese troops had literally marched into Kowloon across the border from Shenzhen.
