LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Thursday that Britain was"not giving up on Hong Kong" and accused Beijing of failing to keep its promises, on the 25th anniversary of the handover of the city to China.

"It's a state of affairs that threatens both the rights and freedoms of Hong Kongers and the continued progress and prosperity of their home." In response, the UK has started offering a pathway to citizenship for British National passport holders and their families from the city. Earlier on Thursday, during his first visit since the business hub's democracy movement was crushed in 2020, Xi said Hong Kong had been"reborn of fire and emerged with robust vitality."
