Embassy Spokesperson released the following remarks on the UK Government Policy Statement on #HongKong British National (Overseas) Visa.
chinese-embassy.org.uk/eng/PressandMe…
In an MOU exchanged between China and the UK, the UK has explicitly pledged that #BNO passport holders who are Chinese citizens residing in Hong Kong shall not have the right of abode in the UK.
The UK has now, in total disregard of the strong opposition and repeated representations of the Chinese side, offered a route for BNO passport holders to the right of abode and application for citizenship in the UK.
This seriously goes against its own promises, interfered in China's internal affairs, &violated international law&the basic norms governing international relations. The Chinese side expresses its grave concern&strong opposition, &will certainly take effective counter-measures.
Hong Kong has been a special administrative region of China since China resumed the exercise of sovereignty. Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs and brook no external interference in any form.
Chinese Government remains unwavering in its resolve to safeguard national sovereignty, security&development interests, to implement "One Country, Two Systems" fully&faithfully, to enforce National Security Law for HKSAR, and to oppose any external interference in HK affairs.
China urges UK to recognize the fact HK is part of China, have a right&objective understanding on National Security Law for HKSAR, immediately correct mistakes&stop interfering in HK affairs,which are China's internal affairs,in any form. Such interference will be self-defeating.
