UK's Hong Kong stance is so far mostly spin, writes KarenKKwok:
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on June 3 said Britain would give holders of so-called British National Overseas passports in Hong Kong a possible path to British citizenship.
Writing in the Times, Johnson said the government will change immigration rules to allow BNO passport holders to come to the UK for a renewable period of 12 months and be given further immigration rights, including the right to work, if China imposes a new national security law on Hong Kong as it has proposed.There are about 350,000 holders of BNO passports and another 2.5 million people are eligible for them, Johnson said.
