China’s parliament has approved a decision to go forward with national security legislation for Hong Kong that democracy activists, diplomats and some in the business world fear will jeopardise its semi-autonomous status and its role as a global financial hub.Foreign minister Dominic Raab said on Thursday that if Beijing went ahead, Britain would extend the rights of 350,000 ‘British National Overseas’ passport holders.

Instead of the EU citizens who will no longer be allowed to become British?

Thank you Britain. Please take these wannabe westerners AKA rioters away from HK.

Why not add another 75 million people from China who are also anti-CCP ? They will help bolster the Tory party at the next election! - maybe with a Chinese as next PM?

Just take it back Britain.

Is Britain going to offer that same to the blacks in Minneapolis!!

Uk got not enough homeless? I bet 100€ it's political propaganda nothing more

Should include everyone, whether or not they participated anti-China riots or not.

Perfectly designed to protect rights of citizens and act as counterpoise to Beijing’s overture.

Thank you so much! We really need this. It is also a signal to tell China that the British is supporting us. Not sure how many people will go to the UK, but I believe HK people will boost the economy with you all.

I said this several days ago. U.S. will do the same. But the number is nowhere near 3m. It will be much much less. A few thousand of the activists and agents.

Great news,

3 millions? Thought the number of BNO holders in HK was 300,000? Does 3M include families of BNO holders or what

Why isn't America doing the same?

What about 5mil white South Africans who are under “black apartheid” rule in SA?

Why no one offer ‘path to citizenship’ for Uighurs?

If china will let the out...

How dare UK interfere with the internal affairs of China. China will win the world war 3!

BRAVO 👏🏻 !!!!!

Again messing with geography like Israel?

Then 50 years later another Windrush....

it is not going to happen, so don't get your knickers in a twist, just another fib.

Bravo! Win win win for London, Beijing, and Hongkies! Doubt it’ll pass the parliament tho. 3 mil, more than a third of HK pop, cream of the top, atonement for opium wars! Next try Kashmir refugees

This isn't the solution, this will destroy the UK, the economy is still recovering from the pandemic. The best solution would be more nations sharing the load not just the UK or just taking the Commies down in China

China wants the land and resources of HK. Human capital export won't be a problem for them. China's bullish approach is a temptation to the West. Unfortunately, China is not an Iraq that got thrown out of Kuwait. The West needs Russia to get the best possible deal for HK citizens

Need to stop illegals coming over Chanel though

Britain must offer same 'path to citizenship' for nearly 3 million in Indian Occupied Kashmir

That’s good. Just Do It. Hong Kong will be peaceful again 😎

1841 - Britain claims Hong Kong in the name of Britain. 2020 - Britain invites people from Hong Kong to Britain. Sounds like the British just want Chinese people....

Settle them in scotland for possible refferndum objectives.
