About. . Hong kong's problems

The passport held by Hong Kong people is a British Overseas Citizen passport, and the holder is a British Overseas Citizen.

British overseas citizens do not directly acquire British citizenship, so Hong Kong people are still China citizens.

But this China nationality is not the same as Chinese mainland nationality. It can be understood as Hong Kong nationality, but Hong Kong is not a sovereign country and has no so-called nationality, so it can only be understood as Hong Kong nationality.

If overseas citizens want to immigrate to the UK, they must apply to the British Home Office (similar to the Immigration Bureau) for immigration, and they can only immigrate to the UK after obtaining approval.

Therefore, Hong Kong people cannot choose whether they are British citizens or China citizens.

At that time, under the rule of the British government, many British people lived in Hong Kong all the year round, but they were real British citizens.
