What's the use of not recognizing British overseas passports?

From 65438+1October 3 1, China no longer recognizes the so-called BNO passport as a travel document and identification, and reserves the right to take further measures.

This is actually a big news. Many people feel its heaviness, but they don't know its specific meaning. The author will talk about it.

The full name of BNO is British National (Overseas) Passport, that is, British National (Overseas) Passport. Simply put, passports issued by Britain to non-British citizens enjoy the rights of some British citizens. For example, in some countries and regions except the mainland and Hong Kong, you can get the protection of the British consul.

According to the agreement reached between China and Britain in 1984, it can only be used as a travel document, but now Britain has unilaterally changed this situation, allowing Hong Kong people holding BNO to be naturalized in the UK, and the recipients of BNO have been relaxed.

So it is very necessary for China to fight back.

What is the significance of China's cancellation of BNO passport this time?

To understand its meaning, we must first understand the purpose of British manipulation of BNO.

In the author's opinion, Britain has two main purposes.

The first is to continue to interfere in Hong Kong affairs.

On the one hand, it is to lift people's hearts. At present, many Hong Kong people holding BNO passports call themselves "British". Once Britain releases the conditions for naturalization through BNO, their recognition of Britain will be strengthened.

I can even get some praise from diaosi. In the past, if you wanted to immigrate to Britain, you had to spend a lot of money through immigration companies. Now, for BNO, it's like a pie in the sky.

On the other hand, it is to leave a retreat for the chaotic forces in Hong Kong and stabilize the hearts of the opposition in Hong Kong. If we continue to agree that BNO is effective and can even be naturalized in Britain through BNO, then some chaotic forces in Hong Kong will have a retreat. If something goes wrong, it's a big deal to emigrate or run away.

Secondly, Britain tried to pressure China to give up the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law".

When analyzing Britain's relaxation of BNO, many experts think that Britain wants to make up for the labor shortage caused by Britain's withdrawal from the EU through immigration. At the same time, we also want to make money, because according to the analysis, if China does not respond, Britain will earn nearly 3 billion pounds through Hong Kong immigration in the next five years.

The author thinks that these analyses are wrong.

The British economy has been depressed, and there are fewer jobs, not to mention the shortage of labor. If there is a real shortage of labor, there is no need to recruit more labor from Hong Kong by directly relaxing the Middle East refugees and a large number of hardcover laborers. Why does Britain want to leave the European Union? One of the reasons is that I can't stand the refugee index sent to Britain by the European Union.

As for making money, I believe that a huge Britain is not bad enough.

One possible reason is that Britain wants to create a situation in which Hong Kong will emigrate on a large scale and try to force China to give up the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law".

But this is predestined, just a delusion.

After understanding the above purpose, it is easy to know the significance of abolishing BNO passport in China. Specifically, I think there are three points:

One is the return of people's hearts.

If we continue to identify with BNO, or even indulge in acquiring British citizenship through BNO, it will result in de facto dual citizenship, which will not only impact the legal bottom line of "not recognizing dual citizenship" in China, but also make many people strengthen their identification with Britain.

With the abolition of BNO, those people can only choose between "China people" and "British second-class citizens".

At the same time, there is another problem, that is, if China does not take countermeasures, there will probably be a situation in the future: the land of China and the people of Britain.

According to British estimates, 5.4 million Hong Kong residents will be eligible to apply for immigration to the UK through BNO visas in the future, while the total population of Hong Kong in 20 19 is only 7.52 million. If Britain's attempt is successful, it means that China has only recovered the land, but the personnel are still British.

China counter-measures, we can eliminate the above hidden dangers. If someone obtains British citizenship through BNO, it means that he automatically gives up the right of permanent residents in Hong Kong, which is no different from "foreigners". Apart from medical care and education, he will no longer enjoy other rights of Hong Kong residents.

The second is to break the retreat of Hong Kong's chaotic troops

As mentioned earlier, if BNO is not abolished, and even British citizenship can be obtained through BNO, then the Hong Kong chaotic forces will feel that there is a way out. If something happens, they will emigrate or run away, so they have nothing to be afraid of.

But if BNO is no longer recognized, this retreat will disappear.

Of course, holders of BNO can still go out, but this is a road of no return and a one-way street.

For example, when they leave Hong Kong, they can use the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport, and when they enter the UK, they can use BNO. However, when they returned to Hong Kong, BNO's records were invalid because there were no foreign entry and exit records on the SAR passports, and they were likely to be regarded as illegal immigrants.

It is also of great significance to cut off the retreat of the chaotic forces in Hong Kong.

The third is to further cut off the tentacles of British interference in Hong Kong.

Undoubtedly, China's action this time is another important counterattack against Britain's interference in Hong Kong affairs, and it will also cut off the important way for Britain to interfere in Hong Kong through BNO.

Manipulating BNO is a means for Britain to interfere in Hong Kong affairs, and it is not really necessary to let a large number of Hong Kong people enter Britain. According to the requirements of the UK, after entering the UK through BNO, it is forbidden to work and apply for benefits for the first six months; Others estimate that 5 million Hong Kong dollars need to be prepared in the first six years; There are also many medical surcharges to pay;

To put it simply, Britain actually wants rich people, not diaosi.

In other words, as long as rich people are popular in any country, why do you have to pass BNO?

According to the author's understanding, the life of second-class citizens will never be better unless the rich and some middle-class people move to Britain and even have a "Lacrimosa". Not to mention the diaosi who have no money, the conditions offered by Britain directly cut off these people's road to Britain.
