United Kingdom’s prime minister has vowed to admit nearly 3 million Hong Kong residents in response to China’s efforts to impose a new national security law on the territory.
Making the pledge in an editorial published by The Times Wednesday, Boris Johnson said about 350,000 Hong Kong residents who hold British national overseas passports, as well as some 2.5 million people who meet the requirements to apply for them, would be issued 12-month renewable visas to live in the U.K.
That visa could clear the passage to British citizenship, but Johnson did not elaborate further.
“Many people in Hong Kong fear that their way of life – which China pledged to uphold – is under threat,” Johnson said. “If China proceeds to justify their fears, then Britain could not in good conscience shrug our shoulders and walk away; instead we will honor our obligations and provide an alternative.”
