Up to three million Hong Kong residents are to be offered the chance to settle in the UK and ultimately apply for citizenship, Boris Johnson has said.

The PM said Hong Kong's freedoms were being violated by a new security law and those affected would be offered a "route" out of the former UK colony.

About 350,000 UK passport holders, and 2.6 million others eligible, will be able to come to the UK for five years.

And after a further year, they will be able to apply for citizenship.

British National Overseas Passport holders in Hong Kong were granted special status in the 1980s but currently have restricted rights and are only entitled to visa-free access to the UK for six months.

Under the government's plans, all British Overseas Nationals and their dependants will be given right to remain in the UK, including the right to work and study, for five years. At this point, they will be able to apply for settled status, and after a further year, seek citizenship.

Wowee BoJo just throw open the doors and let everyone in. Give them all our money as well.doh

I say Bully! I think it would be hilarious if all those well off, hard working Hong Kongese bail and move. China wants the colony? Good have it. Void of money, void of business and tariffed to kingdom come.
They can then re-populate it with poor Chinese and enjoy the rice fields.
China depends on HK for access to the markets of the free world. They need to figure it out.
This countries government figured out, let people scream and shout. Sticks and stones can break my bones , but words will never hurt me. Blow off steam and then get back to work making the rich richer.
So the people call China's leaders names..as long as they pump money to Beijing, who cares.cheering

If we don’t help the people of Hong Kong there won’t be an England for little Englanders. We love immigrants when they’re a great and highly educated people united in our common struggle against Marxist tyranny.

I learned about 20 or 30 years back the UK gave Hongkong back to china with the rule that for the first 50 years HK would have it's own rules, but China is violating the contract. So the UK opens the borders, I think they are right. And Asian women ain't the most ugly, right now I wished HK had been a dutch colony, let all these beautyfull asian women come to me.
And with most of asian people, except the muslims, there is never trouble. No criminal behaviour or terror attacks. And who doesn't love asian food???

So the UK is blessed.
Would also love to live in the UK, but it's hard to start over again there, leaving everything behind, creating my own job as a chessteacher, looking for schools where they ask for me and my experience.
And of course I need a proper house for rent that isn't to expensive.

It's a meaningless mouth off from Boris The Clown ... UK has all time high unemployment and social problems, the HK Chinese know this and mostly regard UK as a poor option. The extremely wealthy already have offshore bases that they can live and work from, for those people 'physical location' really doesn't matter. For people in the UK any mass movement from HK would render them worse off. Cash rich migrants always force up housing prices and UK has a housing crisis already - so the existing population would likely vote him away next election for that alone! Butthen, the whole world is still in a lockdown situation so HTF are 3 M HKers ever gonna get there anyway >
China wants the colony? Good have it.
Pointless bluster on your part - it belongs to China, it always did belong to China and it was only ever occupied by Britain under the terms of the lease agreement ( which is now almost 30 years expired ) Do you think a tenant from 30 years ago should have ANY say in how the owner deals with their property ? It's a nonsense - all part of the US hate campaign against China ... because China has the intelligence to plan long term whereas the US has spent spent spent as it betreayed it's own people by shipping THEIR JOBS and industries off shore to save a buck on production costs
Void of money, void of business and tariffed to kingdom come.
You wish ... unilateral tarrifs always backfire - the US have lost hundreds of billions from the loss of soybean exports alone, and your Defence Dept knows it cannot even operate without imported 'critical goods' from China ... if China 'pulls the plug' on those ... the US air force is more or less grounded within 12 months
They can then re-populate it with poor Chinese and enjoy the rice fields.
Shame on you for your ignorant, ill informed redneck stereotyping
China depends on HK for access to the markets of the free world. They need to figure it out.
More of the above - actually not... CHina trades on very good terms with most of the RoTW. The US has become a Toxic Customer - one that demands far more attention than 'regular commerce' and, one day - I'd guess within the next 5 years they'll just say 'F U ... too much trouble Sam, go buy off someone else. And then all hell will let loose in the US because Y'all will not be able to afford goods that are produced in higher cost countries (and let's not forget you gave away most of your domestic manufacturing decades ago. YOU ARE DEPENDENT upon imports
This countries government figured out, let people scream and shout. Sticks and stones can break my bones , but words will never hurt me. Blow off steam and then get back to work making the rich richer.
Indeed 'your countries' figuring it out has led you this and multiple other crises ... at present other nations toe the line because they fear your military capability which is ON their territory. But, there are nw technologies arriving all the time - the capacity to remotely shut down an 'adversaries' offensive armaments has already been proven ... it's only a matter of time before its upscaled to make that 'globally possible' ie to shut down your entire system in one fell swoop
So the people call China's leaders names..as long as they pump money to Beijing, who cares.
Again, redneck ignorance shines through! It's a minority of US funded terrorists who are causing all the trouble in HK ... once they are dealt with by the justice system that problem is reoved and PEACEFUL HKers and Chinese will get back to their normal civilised lives eh

Chuckles - just imagine the uproar if China or Russia began to send arms and funding to US Freedom Fighters in your major cities !

Taking a knee, is an honorable thing to do. This laudable action, should not be confused, with the demolition of statues, which and, and of itself, does not negate history.
