This is a gross misinterpretation. What the protestors actually wanted was:
- For the UK to grant BN(O) holders citizenship to show that they are no longer bound by the Sino-UK Joint Declaration.
- For the US to revoke Hong Kong's special status (the Hong Kong Policy Act).
- arcticbull 6y ago> For the UK to grant BN(O) holders citizenship to show that they are no longer bound by the Sino-UK Joint Declaration. BN(O)s are already British Nationals (hence the 'BN'), what they're missing is Right of Abode in the UK.
- spacehunt 6y agoCorrect, hence there is currently no pathway to citizenship / "settled status" for BN(O) holders. This is why the recently proposed BN(O) changes are quite significant.
