Oh, that's right. I forgot. Part leased, part won as in the good old way of gunboat diplomacy. Oh well, live by the sword, lose by the sword. I suppose I should read the history of it. I guess that's why Hong Kong developed so much - people thought perhaps it would stay out of China when the lease on Kowloon expired. Or maybe it was just a better place to develop, even though it was just a rock with a track around the bottom. Which seems unlikely. I think of Hong Kong being the whole place, but that's like New York city and New York state. Manhattan is the money island where the lease from the Indians isn't up as it was won fair and square [so to speak - maybe it was purchased rather than conquered]. New York state perhaps leased but most of the development was on Manhattan. Oops, no, Indians don't own Manhattan or New York. Mqurice
