The British BNO "5+1" immigration program will accept applications from Hong Kong citizens tomorrow (31st), and China announced countermeasures yesterday (29th), not recognizing BNO as travel documents and identification.
The SAR government announced that starting tomorrow (31st) BNO will not be used for entry and exit in Hong Kong, nor will it be recognized as any form of identification in Hong Kong.
Liu Zhaojia, the vice chairman of the National Hong Kong and Macau Research Association, said in an inquiry from "Hong Kong 01" that this is only China’s first countermeasure. It is estimated that more stringent measures may be introduced for people who obtain British nationality through BNO. Cancel his Hong Kong permanent resident status.
Liuying only set up strict screening after absorbing talent funds "5+1"
Liu Zhaojia pointed out that when the NPC Standing Committee first interpreted the Nationality Law, it had clearly stated that it did not recognize BNO as a nationality document and only regarded it as a travel document. China and Britain also agreed in the Sino-British Joint Declaration that year in Hong Kong. After the reunification, Hong Kong people will not be granted the right of abode with passports issued by the United Kingdom.
Liu Zhaojia believes that the latest "5+1" immigration plan in the United Kingdom obviously violates the agreement between China and Britain. China must be angry, so it is not surprising that countermeasures are in place.
Liu Zhaojia believes that China has already stated that it will counteract the British breach of the agreement on the BNO issue. Although the first step is not very deterrent, he estimates that China will have follow-up actions, such as canceling Hong Kong permanent resident status for naturalization under the BNO plan. If they return to Hong Kong in the future, they will lose a series of political and welfare rights.
Liu Zhaojia believes that the United Kingdom does not necessarily want to attract a large number of Hong Kong people to emigrate to the local area, but only to attract talents and funds. It is estimated that after the "5+1" plan, when Hong Kong people apply for naturalization, strict barriers will be set for screening.
