No one wants to live under control of a totalitarian regime CCP! Can you imagine a place without freedoms and human rights but full of lies? CCPChina

British govt should stand firm against China over the issue of Hong Kong. Please hold China to stick to its promises made during the handover.

No one wants to live under the strict control of an authoritarian government. It is like putting a sharp knife on top of your head at all times, which is disturbing. People choose immigration just to escape this terrible CCP regime.😔

Britain has the language and system which would be familiar to HKers since HK was a colony of Britain. It is Britain’s duty to deal with this situation..

we must be responsibe for the people we made civilization

UK government teach HKer what is freedom in last 150 years but CCP is destroying it in this years.

Thank you UK for offering choice of BNO to HKers, the BNO would be the protection, additional comfort, last resort for everyone want to stay in HK to protect our homes FightForFreedom

Evil CCP cannot learn from any lessons or experiences! They are used to blame the victims and others for their faults! No normal people will prefer their rule!

HongKong did not have a say when its sovereignty was decided in 1984. CCP has said a huge F U to Britain by tearing up an international treaty. StandwithHongKong

China comes and goes freely. Hong Kong belongs to China, and some troublesome “Hong Kong people” just live on this land temporarily. If you are not satisfied with China, you can go to your British mother’s house to see if the British welcome you.

No one is willing to leave his homeland . The situation of HK is deteriorating rapidly . HongKongers have no choice ............ unless you are willing to see your children being tortured by the Brutality Police !

Britain is attractive because the housings are cheaper than Hong Kong and it has better education system. More importantly, Britain has freedom.

I don't want to leave my home Hong Kong. I hope that day never come. We need help againsting Evil Empire CCP.

Don’t ever trust China. CCP will keep destroying human rights

HongKongers don’t trust CCPChina at all. We are refusing to brianwashing by CCPChina and disagree with CCPChina cole value. onecountrytwosystemsisdead CCP_is_terrorist

The implementation of NationalSecurityLaw is no difference from flagrant violation of 🇬🇧🇨🇳Joint Declaration. The liberty and HumanRights condition will be completely deprived of! HongKong

CCP Break their own promises! DonttrustCCP

The CCP is now breaching the Sino British JD publicly, claiming it is just a “expired document”. As such, every agreement that other countries signing with China is now meaningless, they could claim it is expired one day if they feel it is necessary. Stop dealing with China now

HongKong had been under the management of UK since 1841 with system, culture and way of life so entrenched. Under Sino-British Joint Declaration, UK is under a legal, moral & historical duty to HongKongers. In return, the success of HK can be achieved anywhere with HongKongers

It is a responsibility of UK for Sino-British Joint Declaration. And also a worldwide issue if these stakeholders don’t care.

For sure Britain would be a better place to live than HK which is under the rule of CCP. However this is our homeland and we still hope to make a better place for our next generation

amyfung75914102 though UK government is very pro beijing, sadly.

The enactment of the NationalSecurityLaw is a serious violation to the Sino-British Joint Declaration by eroding freedoms and democracy in Hong Kong. The world must sanction CCP China for its suppression as the aggression of the tyranny is to manipulate the whole world.

Has CCP ever love Hong Kong and treasure Hong Kong core values? Obviously NO!!!😡 That's what CCP should learn to treasure Hong Kong value!😠 SOSHK StandWithHongKong NationalSecurityLaw

China is no longer a trustworthy partner to build a reliable, safe, civilized & peaceful world. CCP break promise, use lies, censorship, torture & virus to spoil the world. All countries should find a new partner now. World is much better w/o CCP.

Dictator of China maintains his dictatorship by detening & restricting citizens right of free speech. Filter, isolate and censor media to prevent the truth of freedom & democracy of civilized countries realized by its citizens.

While Hongkongers are risking our lives to fight for something UK & China agreed we should have, we are glad that UK has spoken up. Hongkongers will keep fighting and defend our city! But the lifeboat policy is like an emergency exit for us to go to when we have no choice.

Because we fear China,especially HongKong is now being China Dare you criticize Xi in China ? Can you launch rally or assembly in China ? Can you play AnimalCrossingNewHorizons in China?

Thank you for UKgov change of BNO & HKers citizenship status in response of NationalSecurityLaw from evil CCP. God save our Queen! For the safety of HK, UK and whole world, sanction and even extermination of CCP is deem necessary!

One country two systems is over 🇭🇰

Even the Chinese claiming themselves most loyal to CCP are desperately seeking to move out of mainland China. The action is better than any statement.

BRITAIN is a sunseting country.trying so hard to prove that it still got it.

I believe no one would like leave their home, HongKong. However, the situation is becoming very worst. For example, the HongKong government has turned blind eye on PoliceBrutality and suppress the journalists.

UK Government must follow HK issues after Beijing was roughed to pass the national security law in HK. It is not affect HK, it can affect around the world for the working. SOSHK

The government, police violence supporter they also apply BNO now, they made hongkong to die, but they also want to escape

CCP China has breached what they promised in Joint Declaration. It's important to have UK take action now!

Stay safe with British citizenship.

Because the tyranny is so annoying And betrayed what had been promised in Sino British JD BNO NationalSecurityLaw

It is because one country two systems is over.

We are looking for Britain for safety measures but I beg most of us do not want to leave our homeland. Now the situation is just too difficult and dangerous.

CCPChina liar failed to keep their promises such as high autonomy, democracy and human rights stated in Sino-British Joint Declaration. BoycottChina CCPdictatorship CCPLiedPeopleDied

and I want to point out the UK has some responsibility to people of Hong Kong as well. HK people did not expect to be treated like that by China when the Joint Declaration was signed between the UK and China in 1984.

You media works know the best what does it mean by 'media is message', and what does it mean by 'simulacra'. you enlarge HKs biased view on CCP, and finally, for your so-called democacy paticipates the hate-creating process.

Fish can't do live without water! Its the same concept! Freedom is not free! HongKongers just fighting for the things that are belong to us. FightForFreedom

Moreoever, tell them Macaw had passed the same law in 2009, and let themselves to see whether CCP bully them Macaw people.

Yeah, but tell them that the power of 'national security' can only belongs to the central government. That's why MI5 and MI6 can work in Scotland and North Ireland too, even if it is an 'united kingdom'

Thank you Britain. Please take all the rioters to UK. HK shall be back to peace and prosperity soon.

Beijing is clearly destroying all the values in this city that we were once proud of.

Who cares UK, even the rioters prefer US.

It can gives second way for HongKong 's people.

Pity UK never gave HK independence

good for HK people

the current rulers in beijing preached their citizens to be ignorant about the world. causing trouble and misbehave and non compliance to the world's proper orders. salvages become the name of their people. the world now teach them a lesson

And boy do we owe them

They can move to Britain today. So envious of them all. Woohoo 🙌
