20 14 did the Chinese accept knighthood in Britain?

But I searched the answer from Zhihu and found it more reliable, much better than Baidu. The copy is as follows:

The "jazz" in the first two answers is essentially the title of honorary knight, while the English title in Chinese usually refers to the noble title, which is divided into five categories: England, Scotland, Great Britain, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The owner of the title is a noble in the legal sense, and most titles in history are hereditary. Among them, male nobles in England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom can automatically get seats in the upper house of Westminster Parliament. 1963, this qualification was extended to all Scottish nobles and female hereditary nobles through the Noble Act. Prior to this, only 16 Scottish aristocrats could attend the upper house of Westminster Abbey, while female hereditary aristocrats entered the upper house, except Rhonda, the second viscount of 1949. Previously, the Life Noble Act (1958) passed in 1958 regulated the granting of life nobles. All life nobles were barons, and there was no restriction on the right of female life nobles to attend the upper house. 1999, Britain passed the most drastic reform of the House of Lords in history. Hereditary aristocrats lost the qualification to enter the House of Lords automatically. Only 92 elected representatives of hereditary aristocrats remained in the House of Lords, and all the remaining seats were occupied by lifelong aristocrats. Since then, hereditary nobles have almost withdrawn from British politics. Except for members of the royal family, it is expected that no hereditary aristocrats will be awarded.

The above is the general situation of British aristocrats today.

Can the Queen confer titles on China people? Theoretically, this possibility does not seem to be ruled out, and there is no clear law in Britain prohibiting the granting of titles to foreigners. The Settlement Act of 170 1 year stipulates that only citizens born in England, Scotland and Ireland are eligible to attend the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives, while according to the Nationality Law of 198 1 year, Commonwealth citizens are exceptions, so at present, only Britain, Ireland and Commonwealth member countries can attend. However, this does not prevent the monarch from granting citizenship titles to other countries. In fact, George I, who was promoted by the law of succession to the throne, soon came to England and was awarded two life-long duke titles-Duchess of Munster (Irish title) and Duchess of Kendall (British title). Of course, she is a woman and was born abroad, and will not enter the upper house to participate in politics directly. Therefore, there is no legal obstacle to granting titles to foreigners. However, from a realistic political point of view, it is almost impossible for a China citizen to win the title of Britain. Since the 20th century, the title of title has not been the privilege of the monarch. The monarch mainly listened to the recommendation of the prime minister and was knighted all the way simply by winning the monarch's favor. As mentioned above, nowadays, apart from members of the royal family, there are almost no new hereditary titles, most of which are the products of party politics, and a few are awarded to people with outstanding achievements in all walks of life and retired senior officials. There is no precedent for awarding them to foreigners who have nothing to do with British political life. In addition, there is another point to consider, the attitude of this person's home country towards foreigners granting honors or knighthoods. The Constitution of the United States clearly stipulates that public officials may not accept titles conferred by foreign monarchs without the permission of Congress, and the Constitution of India also prohibits its citizens from accepting foreign titles. Therefore, even if India is a Commonwealth country, Britain will not rashly grant titles to Indian citizens. In recent years, there is a case about Black v. Chretien, a newspaper tycoon with dual British and Canadian citizenship, conrad black. Queen Elizabeth II accepted Prime Minister Blair's suggestion and wanted Blake to be a baron for life. On the other hand, as the Queen of Canada, she was dissuaded by the Prime Minister of Canada, Jean Clety, who thought that Canadian citizens should not accept foreign titles. Blake sued Clety Ann for abuse of power, and finally, the above-mentioned Ontario court ruled that Clety Ann was constitutional. Blake had to give up his Canadian citizenship in order to accept the title. As a Commonwealth country, Canada is still unwilling to accept the British address for its citizens. An interesting question is whether China is happy to see a similar situation.
