Hong Kong Citizens Flee To UK Fearing Draconian Chinese Laws | CRUX

Starting January 31, Hong Kong residents can apply for a special visa which offers them the opportunity to become British citizens. The move by UK has come as a response to Beijing’s imposition of a national security law in the Asian financial hub last year.
But China is not happy. The two nations have been, for some time, exchanging barbs over pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong in 2019, and 2020. London says Beijing is trying to silence dissent in Hong Kong.
The new visa move comes amid China and Hong Kong's declaration that they will no longer recognise the British National Overseas (BNO) passport as a valid travel document from Sunday, Jan. 31.
