What does it mean that China no longer recognizes the so-called BNO passport?

This is the ambition of the United Kingdom. Based on some previous practices in this country, China refused to recognize the so-called BNO passport this time, which means that this passport issued to "Hong Kong residents with British national status" from 1 July 19871day has lost its role of "proving identity" on the land of China, and it cannot be used as the relevant documents for entry, which is equivalent to a direct ban on holding such passports.

It is said that there are about 3.44 million Hong Kong residents holding BNO passports, and about 654.38+500,000 Hong Kong residents holding BNO passports. With the further development of the situation, the British Home Office also revised the cover of BNO passport and deleted the word "EU". In fact, this passport has something to do with the handover of Hong Kong to Hong Kong. 1984 12 19 On June 30th, China and Britain signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration in Beijing, and exchanged a memorandum on the nationality of Hong Kong residents on the same day, which clearly stipulated that "1on or before June 30th, 1997,

In other words, Hong Kong people who used to be "British Dependent Territories Citizens" are no longer British citizens, and BNO passports are proof of these citizenship. In other words, you are still a British citizen, but you have no right of abode. Based on the objective fact that Hong Kong was once a British colony, Hong Kong was considered as British land at that time. Although some Hong Kong people living in these lands have British nationality, they are actually very different from real British people. After the return of Hong Kong, BNO passports were extended to take care of this group of overseas citizens due to some problems left over.

Now China has begun to refuse to recognize BNO passports, which means that "British Dependent Territories Citizens" can no longer enter the country with the so-called BNO passports, and such passports are no longer recognized by China, and are not allowed to be used for tourism or as identification documents. Maybe many people don't know how disgusting this passport is. Let me give you an example. There are many identification documents in our country. For adults, for example, most people will use their ID cards to prove their identity.

British people have similar documents, but "British Dependent Territories Citizens" are somewhat special. Although they are British, they don't actually have real British documents. The so-called territories are actually British citizens who have lived in British colonies. Take residents like Hong Kong as an example. After the return of Hong Kong, it was equivalent to Britain abandoning them, but in order to take care of them, BNO passports were adopted. This passport is only used as a work visa and identification. Although he is a British citizen, he has no right of abode in Britain. This is equivalent to being a British citizen, but the treatment is much worse. This is the so-called "second-class citizen" treatment.
