Boris Johnson’s government will allow almost 3 million Hong Kong citizens to move to the U.K., risking a further escalation of tensions with China after it enforced a sweeping security law on the former British colony.

Under the U.K. plan, the status of British National (Overseas) passport holders will be upgraded to offer them a path to U.K. citizenship. BNO passports are held by 350,000 people in Hong Kong, with a further 2.5 million eligible for them. China accused the U.K. of meddling in its internal affairs after the proposal was first put forward in May..........

Smart move...get hard-working, educated people who already speak English. Much better than allowing immigration from either shithole or BOOOOMMMM countries.

Wonder why the protesting Honk Kong folks tend to wave a US Flag instead of the Union Jack. After all, they experienced major freedom under British administration.

Double smart. These will be highly productive citizens that will vote Conservative.

Probably related to fact that British can do nothing compared to US on international scene.

Will be interesting to see if this time irrational lefties will be against immigration, because Hong Kong-ers will likely be very conservative and anti-communist. Perhaps Trump should import a few hundred thousands into purple states to shift voting balance.

Absolutely!

I would welcome all Hong Kong Chinese in California.
