Britain will give Hong Kong 3 million residents the opportunity to live

The Dhaka Times Desk The Chinese government recently passed a 'controversial' security law for Hong Kong despite strong criticism. More than 3 million people in Hong Kong have been affected. Britain is giving them permanent residence.

Local time Wednesday (July 1) standing in the country's parliament, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, 'The new security law has undermined Hong Kong's independence. Those affected by this will be given the opportunity to come to Britain.'

He also said, 'about 350,000 British national passport holders and the remaining 2.6 million Hong Kong citizens will be able to come to Britain and live for 5 years. You can apply later for permanent residence or British citizenship.

Originally, the government issued British National Overseas Passports for Hong Kong citizens from 1980. So that any Hong Kong citizen can visit the UK for 6 months without a visa. Although it was later cut down somewhat.

According to the new British Prime Minister's announcement, British National Overseas Passport holders and their dependents are getting the opportunity to live in Britain for 5 years with the opportunity to work and study immediately.

Meanwhile, China is unhappy with Britain's decision. There was an angry response from the country. Earlier last March, the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), the highest legislative body in Beijing, unanimously passed the controversial law for Hong Kong. The law was later signed by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

It is feared that the establishment of China's authority over the autonomous Hong Kong and the independence of that city may be threatened through this law. However, as soon as the law was passed, Hong Kong erupted in protests. Where there were several rounds of arrests with the police.

In such a situation, the British Prime Minister announced to stand by the Hong Kong citizens. That is why China naturally came under a lot of pressure on the Hong Kong issue.

The new law reportedly prohibits separatism, contempt of authority, terrorism and engagement with foreign forces to endanger national security. Also, the maximum penalty for committing these crimes is life imprisonment.

Even before the law was passed, critics had argued that the new law posed a greater threat to Hong Kong's identity. But China says the law is necessary to deal with unrest and instability in Hong Kong. China has also rejected the intervention of critics in this matter.
