Hong Kong activists urge UK to give ex-colony’s residents ‘real citizenship’

“The U.K. should honor our obligations to Hong Kong people and in particular those of British nationality. Both Johnson and Corbyn should do so, though I don’t see either doing so,” Tsang said.

Beijing, meanwhile, warned Washington against passing the bill into law. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in a statement: “We urge the U.S. to grasp the situation, stop its wrongdoing before it's too late, and immediately take measures to prevent this act from becoming law." Trump said in a television interview Friday:"We have to stand with Hong Kong, but I'm also standing with President Xi."

We were born in British HK, why can't we have an UK citizenship? HongKongProtests standwithhongkong

it is not about ethnicity, it is not about loyalty. It is about humanity. StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom

SOSHK please StandwithHK

I don't think it is a kind of blaming. The cry for citizenship from an ex-colony was unexpected.

May be the political people abandon you but not the normal people

UK and US should give them citizenship. So many undeserving migrants got it.

UK indeed abandoned HKers & left us to chinazi ,a evildoer antichinazi antiCCP FightForFreedomStandWithHongKong

We hope UK can always support HK and stop CCP from taking away the freedom that UK has granted us. StandwithHK HongKongProtests HumanitarianCrisis

Hope UK can urge the CCP to follow the Joint Declaration and stand with HongKongers !! hongkong hongkongprotests standwithHongKong soshk

Now,it is boiling down to getting free visas !

Please concern the human crisis in Hong Kong StandwithHK FreeHongKong

People need to realize Hong Kong is China. They can do whatever they want with it.

We sincerely hope that UK can lend a helping hand to us and stand with Hong Kong in the hard times. The CCP is obviously breaking the promises made, now it’s becoming “One country, one system”. Please save HK. Humanitarian crisis is happening. HongKongProtests SOSHK

UK please do some to help Hong Kong and CCP. Please act now, Hong Kongers are in danger. 5DemandsNot1Less SOSHK Tiananmen2019

We don’t expect much but at least you can speak for freedom and stand against China. Money ain’t everything StandwithHK

Hong Kong is under a humanitarian crisis, HKers need helps from all over the world.

May UK StandwithHK on the road to fight for democracy and human rights, as UK is a democratic nation?

I’m not gonna blame the UK. But at least they can say something about the humanity crisis going on in here instead of condemning protesters’ violence only...look into the root cause. What makes the kids risking their future to make all these noises. Going in jail is no fun at all

Obviously China is violating the Joint Declaration. Since June Hong Kong riot police arbitrarily arrest innocents, and even use live bullets and teargas to spread terror. Reviewing UK citizenships of BNO holders is a must to save us from humanitarian crisis.

Personally think UK has no obligation to grant us citizenship. But as HumanitarianCrisis exist in Hong Kong, would UK please give us a hand?😢 soshongkong SOSPolyU saveourkids

Thanks England

Hong Kong is under HumanitarianCrisis , every democratic countries believe in universal values should help and save HKers, not to mention UK has its historical responsibility for HK

I wouldn’t blame UK. UK did brought us a prosperous city with rule of law & freedom. It’s just too hard & frustrating to have all these great things torn down by CCP. It’s not UK’s fault. It’s the CCP... BoycottChina

I think the delegation didn’t really accused UK? Accused may be a world that’s too harsh. We Hongkongers wanna ask UK for justice. BNO holders were born in British Hong Kong & should have been given right of abode before the handover. BNOisBritish StandWithHongKong SOSHK

SOSHK

RightTheWrong BNOisBritish

It is sensible to request the British government to fulfil their promises to HK as the joint declaration is a legal document. sinobritishjointdeclaration StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom

Don’t betray us again! BNO is British, act now No.10! RightTheWrong BNOisBritish

We hope the UK will stand with freedom and democracy. StandWithHongKong

Hong Kong People Miss the old time~!!! So Please UK StandWithHongKong antichinazi BoycottChina

Those born in the British colony era or be raised by parents of that era, emotionally have a sense of familiarity to UK. Yet, UK sold Hong Kong to CCP for benefits. Now, will UK at least do something to save her former citizens? HKHRDA StandWithHongKong HongKongProstests

UK definitely can do something to help.The problem is that will they do that? StandwithHongKong

Britain can't do anything until they settle the Brexit crisis. Sad but true

They didn't abandon, it was a contract and the Brits had to hand over HK The young ones have forgotten their own history?

Bet if they had somehow managed to stay there’d be the “colonialist” tag being thrown their way, either way whitey to blame

British not only abandoned millions of people, it also keep silence to witness China breaching a registered treaty, Sino-British Joint Declaration at UN. Is this the attitude a great country to stand with? It's time to stand up to uphold British's pride, to condemn China.

Hope the UK could honour its obligations to the people of Hong Kong. StandWithHongKong

Britain is too busy with brexit to see what is going on in the world. they are victims of the brexit-johnson-reesmogg-makeGBgreatagain virus. similar to the current American disease.

不不不，纠正下，你们不是人，是狗听明白了么？狗屎💩💩💩💩

Come on. If ex could help, you wouldn't have got divorced in the first place.
