  1. Be careful with arrest and using National Security Law. Sovereignty immunity can override "Hong Kong National Security Law". The Treaty of Nanking is not 99 year least. But two Treaties is 99 year least. It's not signed by People's republic of China. It's signed by Qing Dynasty. The Treaty of Nanking was signed in 1842, more than 50 years before the founding of the Communist Party of China in 1921. The treaty was signed by the Qing dynasty government, which was the ruling power in China at the time. The Communist Party of China has never officially renounced the Treaty of Nanking. However, it has also never attempted to enforce the treaty's terms. In fact, the party has made a number of statements in recent years that seem to suggest that it is willing to respect Hong Kong's autonomy and its special status as a "one country, two systems" entity. As a result, the Communist Party of China does not legally own Hong Kong Island. However, it does control the territory under the terms of the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984. The declaration states that Hong Kong will be governed under a "one country, two systems" principle for a period of 50 years. This means that Hong Kong will retain its own legal system, currency, and way of life for 50 years, after which time it will be fully integrated into China. The 50-year period ended on July 1, 2047. However, it is unlikely that China will take full control of Hong Kong at that time. The "one country, two systems" principle has been popular with the people of Hong Kong, and there is no indication that they are willing to give it up. It is more likely that China will continue to allow Hong Kong to enjoy a high degree of autonomy for many years to come. Whether or not the Communist Party of China legally owns Hong Kong Island is a complex legal question. However, it is clear that the party does control the territory and that it is unlikely to take steps to change the status quo in the near future.
