Nothing detailed, just some broad strokes that roughly align with what you’ve suggested here, namely that the port was a major entry point for military supplies to China during the latter half of 1995 and most of 1996 as the Soviets couldn’t take any direct action to close it, it being British Sovereign territory. I did beef up the garrison slightly during this period, largely as a way of trying to come up with a plausible 6th UK Infantry Division, which is mentioned in canon.
The nuclear strikes then delay the handover and as of the Summer of 2000 the British are still in de facto control mainly because as you say there’s no recognised Chinese Government to hand it over to.
Checking my notes I can see that I did have the nuclear strike aimed at HK miss and land in the South China Sea.
ETA. At one point I did have grand plans to write a series of companion volumes to the UK work, one on the island of Ireland, one on France, and one on Hong Kong, which would all form their own continuity. But time and other responsibilities kinda scuppered that a while ago.
