The UK will offer a path to citizenship for eligible Hong Kong residents as it condemned China's new security law. The imposition of this law 'constitutes a clear and serious breach of the Sino-British joint declaration,' PM Boris Johnson said.

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in an on-camera interview that after"carefully" assessing the contents of the Hong Kong national security law it constitutes"a clear violation of the autonomy of Hong Kong, and a direct threat to the freedoms of its people, and therefore I'm afraid to say it is a clear and serious violation of the Joint Declaration treaty between the United Kingdom and China.

"The law also threatens the freedoms and rights protected by the joint declaration."We made clear that if China continued down this path we would introduce a new route for those with British National Overseas status to enter the UK, granting them limited leave to remain with the ability to live and work in the UK and thereafter to apply for British citizenship -- and that is precisely what we will do now.

What does he care, maybe look at his country with its police state.

eligible?哈哈大笑,I think the poor rioters are ineligible, the eligible wealthy don't want to leave,

这种政客的言辞真是令人作呕,你无权干涉中国内政.中国不需要你这种人来谴责,做好自己.

Apakah dunia saat ini sedang berpolitik citra yyy

this country is bankrupt. it needs capital from hongkong to rebuild its economy. the UK and USA are determined to destabilize China and wipe out their wealth. it is rather sinister really

Start worrying about British people that were born here who have nowhere to live instead of worrying about a country that has nothing to do with you knob

You can bet tRUMP won't accept one of them in the US

the world ignored totalitarian CCP regime for so long, they cooperate with so called China for dozens of years, but it's not China, it's totalitarian CCP regime, totalitarian CCP regime can not represent China nor Chinese people

好亮的头发

Duh I think everyone knew China was going to do this

So instead of China's promise of 'One Country, Two Systems', it's 'One Country, One System' The ole bait & switch.

Britain Kudos! Empathy and compassion open up an ocean of blessings for the ones who realize the need to help needy, in hopeless, helpless pain, feeling lost and abandoned. May more countries open their hearts and borders to shelter refugees Stay Healthy

Trump will outline a path to citizenship for Russians now TerroristTrump

I feel bad for Mexico

幾個國家保皇室,難忘日不落殖民。愛爾蘇格欲獨立,香港肥肉逼著慌。物換星移時空轉,何苦氣急敗壞乎?自固拖歐路難行!

What does 'eligible 'mean?

Take me too !!!!

Good, take the rioters and cockroaches to Britain. China is free to leave!

England~

Anything's good as long as it's xenophobic

Hmmmmmmmm......wasn't BREXIT to keep 'others' out ?

Will be left to die like Gurkhas in forthcoming pandemic?

thanks, this will help to bring peace and stability in HK..they are useless in there, may be they can contribute something for UK

狗拿耗子多关闲事

Typical colonial thought — be ready to take those “eligible residents” and make sure to accept all of them, not the rich part of them.

Looks like China banged zionistpigs well done China inshallah we are also with you blow the son of UK (India) they are easily triggered inshallah we will also support you 🇦🇫🏳️❤️🇨🇳

I believe that the British move will only stay on verbal propaganda, and will not accept those Hong Kong people

Eligible means wealthy and the professionals. No not professional rioters.😂😂😂 Stay where you are, rioters of Hong Kong.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Took his time...

Go, go away.Those non-sense rioters and people who join the illegal activities, please go to your heaven of democracy. Those people have destroyed HK seriously enough have always making false accusations to the government and acting serious crimes that no countries should allow!

While deporting Caribbean brits en mass.

I want citizen to England. Trump is causing crimes against humanity here in the US.

Please accept these rioters as UK refugees! Everybody will be happy then. And I think all the Chinese and the rest of HKers will be so so so thankful for Britain’s kindness!

It sure took a long time. Wouldnt want to act before it turns to an emergency.

A few years later “ go home foreigners “ 😓

I don't believe you! UK abandoned Hong Kong a long time ago, when it became clear that holding onto the colony was a liability that far outweighed the monetary benefits, prestige and supremacy for the UK. It has always been a case of 'rule Britannia'. Hypocrite 😡

Cnn whT happen to the ratings

Well played!

BorisJohnson please why are you people not allowing FedEx In Feltham to do their work and those people are saying you people are not allowing any flight/air cargo into Ghana 🇬🇭 how true is this?StayAlert EU

Millions of immigrants - not to worry they are not nasty Europeans. Skills ?, who cares they are part of our colonial heritage.

HK and China don't need rioters..you can have them all..

China is not mature us china didn't play mature democracy matters Godcomment...

Hurry up! BorisJohnson DominicRaab

Bwhahaha what has happen with stoping emigration in to UK ? U left EU to put a stop to it and now UK is allowing over 3 millions. Hahaha the brexiteers wont be happy at all rofl

HongKong was once British territories and they should have the right. I applauded BorisJohnson 10DowningStreet on this. HongKongProtests FreeHongKong

This is good!

Remember the Caribbean

Will they be coming here to fill jobs left vacant by the EU citizens that have gone home,or will they be burdens on tax payers?

Hang on BorisJohnson the UK is already a congested island how the **** do you plan to accommodate the population of Hong Kong?

Freedom, don't you see those are rioters doing vandalism, attacking police and normal citizens. Those pro-democracy is colouring and glorifing the brutality and illegal activities. Freedom for what? Freedom to destroy the shops and public facilities that even Britain gov forbid?

Does eligible mean wealthy?

This is major.

So is the USA you communist fools, but you don't want to say that huh!!!

👍

wow, very cool UK, well done! wait for it... let's see what smart a** comment China will make about this one, the 'retaliation' they feel so compelled to do these days.

Freedom?

This would be a wise move, special thanks from mainland China.

Is that Gary Busey ?

So much for an immigration policy
