*Quick disclaimer, I'm very anti colonialism and all the shit that comes with it*

Anyway, I don't understand why the 99 year lease the British signed with the Qing dynasty in 1898 for what would become Hong Kong was still valid in 1997. While it may seem like a stupid question at first, let me explain my reasoning.

My confusion mainly comes from the fact that the Ming dynasty ceased to be a legal entity in 1912 due to the Republic of China being proclaimed in its place. Furthermore, the case of Spain not bring obligated to return the Melilla and Ceuta exclaves due to them essentially being conquered before the modern state of Morocco was technically formed should set some level of precedence for the Hong Kong lease to be considered void.

Was the lease's validity due to a clause within it saying that it would remain valid if the political situation in China changed, was it due to Margaret Thatcher negotiating with Zhao Ziyang in the 1980s, or was it due to China being a larger and more powerful country than Morocco that exerted more pressure on Britain than Morocco does with Spain?
