What does British bno passport mean?

British bno passport refers to British National (Overseas) passport (English: British National (Overseas) passport, abbreviated as BN(O)).

It is in response to the handover of Hong Kong's sovereignty that Britain began to issue British National (Overseas) passports to Hong Kong residents in July 1987. There are about 3.44 million Hong Kong residents with British National (Overseas) status, and about 6.5438+0.5 million Hong Kong residents with such passports. From March 30th, 20 19, the British Home Office began to issue passports without the word "EU" on the cover.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao 20 10129 announced that China will no longer recognize the so-called British National (Overseas) (BNO) passport as a valid travel document and identification, and reserves the right to take further measures.

Ignoring the fact that Hong Kong returned to China for 24 years, ignoring China's solemn stance, the British side openly broke the contract, insisted on concocting a so-called "tailor-made" residence and naturalization policy for Hong Kong residents with British National (Overseas) (BNO) status, and repeatedly expanded the scope of application, trying to turn a large number of Hong Kong people into second-class British "citizens", completely changing the BNO nature of the original Sino-British understanding. The so-called BNO in Britain is no longer the original BNO.

This is a serious violation of China's sovereignty, a gross interference in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs, and a serious violation of international law and the basic norms of international relations. China is strongly indignant about this and resolutely opposes it.
