"The British government forgets the fact that most of the protesters are from my generation, in particular citizens born between 1997 and 2002," said another 22-year-old former Hong Kong resident studying in the UK since 2015.
"The British government needs to consider this generation or otherwise, this proposal won't be meaningful." "Social media such as Facebook has been flooded with questions regarding working in the UK," he added, noting it reflected"how anxious and hopeless Hong Kongers are at the moment".Yau said she too had been contacted by friends asking about life in Britain, and argued the new arrivals"could be an unbelievably valuable workforce for the UK post-Brexit".
"Immigrating to here would mean restarting a new life as second-class citizens, and their social status might be dropped if they are not professional or wealthy."
