I don't think so, but I could be wrong. The British government does not have a lease for Hong Kong as of 1997. If it was owned by the UK it would be two countries one system. One country two systems means that Hong Kong is part of China but retained all the artifacts of British influence including common law, official language of English, international dialing code, customs and border patrol, etc.

So no, I don't think any lease was extended.
