Beijing ’s implementation of the “Hong Kong version of the National Security Law” has attracted international attention, and Western countries worry that Hong Kong ’s autonomy will be weakened. The UK stated that it is considering expanding the authority of Hong Kong people holding a British National (Overseas) Passport (BNO). The US "Wall Street Journal" published an editorial on May 29, recommending that visas be issued to Hong Kong people to travel to the United States to live and work, and provide a way to become a US citizen.

The review article pointed out that US President Donald Trump announced measures against China, including sanctioning officials from China and Hong Kong who have implemented the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law." However, the measures will not stop Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The Wall Street Journal recommends that green cards be issued to Hong Kong people to allow Hong Kong people who wish to move to the United States to obtain visas. Hong Kong people who have participated in the demonstration have sufficient reasons to fear persecution, so they meet the asylum conditions of the Immigration and Nationality Law, or they can directly provide entry permits according to the regulations of the Immigration and Nationality Law. Canada and Australia, which participated in the joint statement this week, may also provide visas.

The article believes that the United States will benefit from these new talents who are well-educated and interested in starting a business, and those who travel to the United States and Hong Kong will not seek welfare assistance. According to a 2016 survey report by The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, every five Hong Kong adults has a plan to start a business within three years. The figures released by the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department in January show that about 67% of Hong Kong people can speak English to a very good level.

The Wall Street Journal estimates that even if a green card is obtained, most Hong Kong people will stay in Hong Kong. But if China's authoritarian rule destroys Hong Kong, Hong Kong people also know that there is a way back. Even Hong Kong people will invest in the United States even if they stay in Hong Kong. The visa also gives young people more courage to resist Beijing.
