At the end of this month, the British government began accepting applications from Hong Kong people for the BNO "5+1" new plan. There is widespread rumors that the central government will take countermeasures.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said today (19th) that the BNO's positioning is very clear. It is a travel document rather than a nationality. He emphasized that China and Britain had a consensus before the reunification and had nothing to do with "dual nationality."
Lin Zheng also pointed out that if the British side violated the agreement, China will naturally take action, reiterating that the SAR government will support any countermeasures by the central government.
Lam Cheng said that the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens are Chinese citizens and the 5.8 million SAR passport holders will enjoy the rights granted by the Basic Law.
Civil servants signed a statement, Lam Cheng pointed out that there is no damage to morale: refusal is a minority
Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said before attending the Executive Council today that the SAR government currently does not have any plans, but the SAR government is willing to support the central government in any form to counter the British new plan for BNO.
In addition, the Civil Service Bureau issued a notice earlier, stating that civil servants who were hired before July 1 last year must sign a declaration of oath within 4 weeks of receiving the letter.
Lam Cheng said that it is natural for civil servants to declare their support for the Basic Law and allegiance to the SAR. If anyone is suspected of violating the regulations, the government will take appropriate action.
I am worried about the union's reaction, and I was asked whether it would affect the morale of civil servants.
Lam Cheng said that he did not see that requiring civil servants to sign a statement or take an oath would affect the morale of civil servants.
She also pointed out that supporting the SAR government, the Basic Law and the implementation of one country, two systems are the ideals of civil servants when entering employment, so signing a declaration or oath is not an additional requirement, but a matter of course.
Lam Cheng said that it is natural for civil servants to declare their support for the Basic Law and allegiance to the SAR. If anyone is suspected of violating the regulations, the government will take appropriate action.

Said that there is no problem with the recruitment of civil servants
Lam Cheng mentioned that more than 4,000 civil servants who are new to the job after July 1 are willing to sign the declaration. I believe that those who do not want to sign are a minority. He emphasized that if civil servants and labor unions have opinions, the Secretary of Civil Service, Nie Dequan, will be happy to communicate.
Regarding the recruitment of civil servants, Lam Cheng said that apart from the police force and the correctional department, there are currently no problems in recruitment, and many university graduates and professionals are still applying for positions.
