Grant Hong Kongers British National (Overseas) status.
Oppression of Hong Kong nationals is continuing by the Chinese government. In order to maintain the safety of those guilty only of free speech the government should grant British National (Overseas) status with citizenship rights to any Hong Kong resident endangered by the Chinese regime.
This move would not only benefit those endangered by a violent regime but also aid the UK economy in uncertain times, with many skilled workers gaining the ability to move to the United Kingdom to work.
