Boris Johnson relaxed immigration rules to allow millions of people in Hong Kong to emigrate to the U.K., in response to China's new security law in Britain's former colony

Mr. Johnson said Wednesday that the Chinese security law “constitutes a clear and serious breach” of an agreement between the two countries that aimed to ensure Hong Kong remained largely autonomous from Beijing up until 2047 after the departure of the last British governor in 1997.

What about the Chinese Muslims being tortured who’s going to help them

loveHK61538 StandWithHongKong CCP_is_terrorist Welcome UK support to Hongkong people! Please watch: CCPChina new HongKong NationalSecurityLaw expands across the world

That is a welcome initiative. Applause but BorisJohnson will that be a solution to the problem. Don't HKites have the right to live in their own country without fear. Action has to be against China.

HongKong should break cycle of colonization. Pro democrcay leaders in HK must demand for a free HK. China is a bad influence.

We need to make HongKong a colony of China! No one was making a fuss when it was a British colony and exercised total control over the city back then.

How many types of passports does U.K. issue? It seems that the subjects of Queen have been classified into various ranks. The passports held by Hong Kong people are mostly useless. They cannot use them to live in U.K. permanently.

Why isn’t President Trump doing the same thing? Offering a Home in America for the people of Hong Kong. Congress should legislate the right of Hong Kong citizens a permanent residence & path to citizenship in US Americans support freedom loving people from all over the world.

It is not the way to solve the problem because the CCP is the trouble maker and the Hong Kong people and even the west countries cannot beat them now. At least this is a rescue plan for the Hongkongers. Thanks the British.

Thanks to the UK for letting more HKers in. It is also reassuring emergency button for HKers who fear the prosecution. HKers have their rights now and we shall continue to stand against the authoritarian rule.

johncbussey Just saw you on FNC. I’m a WSJ subscriber, and that was the WORST analysis I’ve ever seen! So many lazy generalities too numerous to mention, like “no one cares about monuments right now” so POTUS trying to deflect. WTF PLANET ARE YOU LIVING ON?! You are a disgrace to journalism!

johncbussey How are you so important? You think people will vote for biden because they're not working? Lol That means you think these people think its trumps fault the virus has spread. Okay mr clueless.viruses SPREAD! That's what they do. Hard to control. People voting for social reasons

Yes. This is good news for Hong Kong people. Takes all your money and skill to exit to free world. And at the same time , fight with all your strength to Chinese communist party to win Hong Kong independence. It is your your home land, not Chinese communist party land.

Please send them to Scotland and split it from UK. Scotland truly need independence!

I remember media calling him a racist. New age of anger.

mixed feelings but if it would satutrate the muslim invasion, why not.

Welcome Covid-19 to UK

Reverse colonialism

The brain drain from Hong Kong will be enormous. But the Knowledge gain for Britain will be invaluable.

Thank you UK for offering the life boat to HKers.💛💛

Thank you Brits for taking the trash to where it belongs.

The NationalSecurityLaw tramples HK freedom, including freedom of speech, assembly, expressions, etc. That is why HKers use white paper to replace slogans and numbers to replace protest songs. It indicates the end of HK's freedom.

Great decision

Off the subject-Does this guy ever use a comb? Lol

You Hong Kongers are third-class people, even inferior to Indian doorkeepers, in colonial era. Now you are begging for the sympathy of those who drunk your blood before.

The British took our land a century ago. Who give them the right to intervene our domestic affairs?

No longer easy immigration for EU nationals, but now easing for HKers? So I definitely won't be expecting more competitive salaries in the UK.

At least Boris has a soul. A welcome gesture from a world leader.

Hong Kong is an example of how Chinese Communist Party treats their citizens, with no rule of law and not allowing people to speak out. They only want us to be their slave. Such tyranny will conquer the world if we don't stop China. fightforfreedom StandWithHongKong China

Oh,China Government want to finish “China Dream” so they use different “dirty works” to menace themselves. Well, don’t forget CY Leung have other national🙃 UK government must sanction him and his family.

Smart. Economic Warfare at its best. More damaging to communist China than 1000 tomahawk missiles. Guess what? There are still many great hongkongers who don't qualify due to lack of ties to Britain. Why aren't we going after them

Thank you so much UK, thank you so much BJ. Just hope the case of Hong Kong can awaken the world what CCP true nature is

Just let them go to U.K. If they need money and food and job, just ask Boris Johnson for help.

marcos_galperin 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He got the vision 😂😂😂

EllenColour he does it for people or not for capital. Unfortunately one cannot be sure with Boris Johnson.

Glad to here that but I’m rather worried about those born after 1997...they sacrificed a lot in the social movement and really need a shelter from the incoming prosecution.

Tks.

OUR SMALL IRLAND ENGLAND AND BRITIAN IS BURSTING AT THE SEEMS ALREADY WITH PEOPLE WITHOUT A ENOUGH HOMES FOR PEOPLE NOW!!!HOMELESSNES HAS GONE UP 50 FOLD COS OF THE PLAGUE VIRUS!!!NOW HES SENDING MILLIONS OF HONG CONG PEOPLE INTO BRITIAN THE MAN HAS LOST HIS MARBLES.

Smart move.....money and talent flooding into the UK.....

Thank the British government for its emphasis on human rights and respect for historical responsibility🙏

It’s your freedom and decision. Good luck with it!

To effectively harm ccpchina, it is more important to economically isolate and sanction the tyranny regime. Hongkongers are ready and willing to burn with CCPChina if it means that the regime will never get strong again.

Many of us may choose to stay in HongKong, but glad to see UK is finally standing up.

As a HongKonger, I’m so glad to hear that but please inquiry and background check every cases carefully, make sure their no immigration of Pro China. Those people are spy and be the danger of UK. Remember some Uyghurs was threatened by Spy and force them back to China for trial

dont the british people need help more now than others?

He knows that China won't let them emigrate, hence the offer! Nothing but political posturing!

Ciekawe jak się to rozwinie?

Still fuck usa though lol

Who is he kidding, he's basically bald like Trump is. Get a grip!

BGSIBMOR Western addiction to slave labor is the gerry curl. NoAntiBlackRacism

Bravo

Just go to UK and split it,Scotland need independence.

This news is not even published on the BBC news website. What is the source? BBCBreaking

Good for Britain. Get all of them of Hong Kong.

It’s a welcomed gesture. Instead of playing defense, what the free world really needs is to tackle the root cause of all this: the authoritarian CCP. Otherwise, the world will continue to live in the shadow of its threats, bullying and repression

God! I can’t tell this enough! British conservatives are smarter than American ! Can we please trade our conservative leaders!

recycling tools

Seriously the UK can take them ALL. Hong Kong needs to get rid of its trash.

danielee2020 How about no bno but they live in Hongkong before 1997. It have many reasons,we need to apply new one ,they is Hongkong person,England must include it's promise

yes, prostitutes are in shortage. welcome hk chicks.

A stringent screening mechanism is required to ensure those who settle in the UK through the bespoke process live the values shared by the free world. They must not be the HK govt officials, cops, civil servants and pro-CCP figures who commit human rights violation in Hong Kong.

Fuck china. HongKong HongKongProtests StandwithHongKong china PoliceBrutality

Good. And the Migrants in Calais?

Could they then please agree accept a few million less from other countries?

I would like to welcome people from Hong Kong as they are true people of Western Values, can we then deport all extreme left wing, BLM and Sadiq Khan to China they would fit in perfect.

good, we will see how much will come and we will see how the bankers from the city will react, as there is not enough job for them.

Best checkmate move to Xi.

China will give HK citizenship to a similar number of its mainland citizens to replace the Hong Kongers.

Right wing xenophobes went crazy at the prospect of a few thousand Romanians coming to the UK on EU passports - this is potentially 3 million “foreigners” getting citizenship!

I heard the Chinese (from mainland China) are applauding the decision... and are urging forcefully for Boris to give the hongkies full citizenship IMMEDIATELY with no strings attached and/or pre-requisites... and... hopefully, the US will follow suit... HAH 😂😂😂

Those immigrants will start accusing SystemicRacism and demolish monuments.

I'm glad to see Boris Johnson stepping up. China broke the treaty with the UK. This is a good first step but the issue needs to be addressed. The people of Hong Kong deserve what they were told was going to happen.

Правильно! Геть парни в Британию!

its good decision but not permanent solution. China has the land 1,106 km² ...same thing happened with Tibet 1.228 million km² ... China is the biggest threat to the world peace.

Bravo; wonderful news. However, will the movement against China's accelerated tyranny slow when 1M allies leave? What of the younger generation, born after June 30, 1997, demonstrating to preserve their rights who are weeks away from being shipped to the mainland? They need more!

He got off to a good start (Brexit) and now this? Oust Boris Johnson immediately.

Good! China has not only failed on their contract but screwed over many Hong Kong citizens. This is the best way for Britain to help without starting a war. Until the communist regime falls, there will be no true liberties in Hong Kong.

almost all affluent Hongkong residents are to opt for accepting UK offer of immigration, which is mutually beneficial for the UK and Hongkong.

He diD at least one good thing

Lucky hongkongers

Not necessarily a good idea!

That' s cool...

That's a great idea but what about their money trapped in their banking system. This is a very strong argument for crypto. I recommend Nexo. The sweetener is if you own Nexo Tokens on 5th August you'll qualify for their dividend. Last year it was 30% of profits.

For the money they will bring

Doesn't impact the Chinese enactment still, something needs to be done

Not sincere, should just give them citizenship immediately, this is whar china would love to see, more jobs in hk for chinese mainlanders

Good for him. China won't let them go though. Now they are prisoners.

That won't solve it
