The UK has decided to extend a broader path to citizenship for the residents of Hong Kong

A woman walks past an office of Hong Kong pro-Beijing legislator Junius Ho, shuttered and covered with sticky memos by pro-democracy protesters, in the Tuen Mun district of Hong Kong on July 23 2019. Picture: AFP/PHILIP FONGChina warned Britain on Thursday that it could retaliate with “corresponding measures” for London's decision to extend a broader path to citizenship for the residents of Hong Kong.

The Chinese embassy in London stressed that “all Chinese compatriots residing in Hong Kong are Chinese nationals”. Beijing has never publicly raised the possibility of offering Britons either Chinese citizenship or broader residence rights.
