What would be the effects of the lease on the New Territorys in Hong Kong had been 199 years instead of 99 years as in our timeline as the result of the Conventions of Peking in 1860? What would the effects of a Hong Kong still under British control to this day would be?

not much right now, but what if it was shortened to 50 years? that would put it up for sale when china is fragmented. The Kumninotang would snap it up, possibley giving the nationalists a powerbase that could counterbalance the PRC, of course after Japan is defeated.
