British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab told parliament on June 2 that if China does not reconsider implementing an “authoritarian” national security law in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom may offer citizenship to Hong Kong holders of British National Overseas passports. He added that around 3 million Hong Kong residents are eligible for such passports.
Taiwan's government on May 28 announced it will establish an organisation to deliver"humanitarian relief" for people fleeing Hong Kong for political reasons, including settlement and employment in a joint effort with activists groups. Taiwan has no law on refugees that could be applied to protesters seeking asylum, but its laws promise to help Hong Kongers whose safety and liberty are threatened for political reasons.
"We will propose an action plan of humanitarian relief for friends from Hong Kong," President Tsai Ing-wen told reporters in Taipei on May 27."We will continue to support Hong Kong people's determination to strive for democracy and freedom."

I became a victim for more than 50,000 Americans in Okinawa, Japan for a rape incident in 1995 by US army. I and my mom deserve the best and an apology and appreciation and best treat. I don't deserve ignorance, abuse, scars and damages on my body. Plz stop abuse. It's going on. American businesses should have seen this coming. Stupidity and greed. Is that really a good idea？
