What started off as a demonstration against a controversial extradition bill has become a series of massive protests with broad political demands. Here is why so many Hong Kongers keep taking to the streets in a leaderless movement and whether their goals can be achieved.
Photo: Thomas Peter/ReutersI am wondering why the Queen Elizabeth II didn’t take those BNOs with her in the mid of 1997.
Yes! They should go back to their motherland and stop messing around on the Chinese land.
Please US and UK take them. Congrautlation, You get people of same values with you! Do not leave traitors or rioters in China
so, they are second class Brits...that is the Brexiters' plans: we are all 'Europeans' except we can move freely to your country but you cannot to ours...
Suckers！No country will adopt the cockroaches
Come on,go
this is why they deserve no respect
Please send all banana peple to their mother land.
Hilarious
It would be fantastic to have some immigrants come to Britain who actually want to be British.
UK should receive these hkers，I believe UK will give them freedom
Just in contrast of what Portugal did to their Macau citizen before the handover. It is shameful for the UK. But I seriously doubt the British will do the right things. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in the state that they are in now. SOSHK StandWithHongKong AntiCCP
😮😮😮干的好，香港人，你们不是中国人，可以立马离开中国了，拜托英国收留，你们千万不要嫌弃他们，他们很努力的。
colonised dummies
UK needs to do more to help HK citizens as they have failed them by abandoning their duty.
If this was America the media and the squad would be crying about how racist the Gov was for denying those people their rights to live where they want. Instead you backed Communist China? Really? And you guys barely touched it Your professional field has lost all respectability
hong kongers: wanna be british caused by problem me: wanna be japanesse caused by anime
Serious solution: China should deport them to the US 🇺🇸 and UK 🇬🇧 - They’ll get their “democracy” 😂 - HongKong will have peace. - We’ll give them a taste of American Freedom 👇 (Berkeley CA) HKprotests HongKongProtests FreeHongKong FreeHK cnni CBSNews
Theyre chinese. And they know it.
Will that pussyassbitch Boris do anything for them? No. He’s a racist.
No. England has enough problems with her own citizens! You don't go and flood the country with foreigners at this time! Let the people heal! Stop upsetting the social contract! Globalism has failed!
good
Socialism is not freedomism. Only the elite few enjoy the privileges. Not for HK or the world, and certainly not for America. Do we see anyone lately defecting to Russia or China?
British is too busy with their mess. Don’t be naive ...
LynxEvil Chinaexit
The British Government Screwed the Citizens of Hong Kong!!!!
You are a country with no military with a inflated life style. I'm afraid you are in quick sand.
And they should be
How many forefathers of these young ppl were insulted or even died under British government control in colonization time? And now you are begging to be colonized again? Shame on you! These ppl don’t deserve to be HKer nor Chinese!
Can’t wait to be colonized? Does it really feel so good to be colonized? HKers had no democracy no freedom at all in colonization time, ok? They were even not allowed to take to the streets. And all the government officers were appointed directly by UK gov.
Yeah yeah yeah, you are British. Go back to your motherland ASAP. We don't need trash.
Who can blame them for not wanting to live under a repressive communist regime.
Were all gonna be Chinese.
Not anymore.
Too late
It’s too late
Brits treated you like dogs. You can't afford anything in England anyway. May be go be a hobo in London?
wow !!
Britain caused this!
Then start by playing British Checkers. Eat British Takeout.
Basically hongkong citizens share the universal values like freedom, justice, democracy which those in China do not have. This is the fundamental difference between the two.
lam_chau_bar It is the time for British to fulfill her responsibilities of the Joint Declaration.
Breaking:Chinese in Hong Kong identify as British. Wonder if they will be accused of cultural appropriation.
Yeah, since Britain is such a democratic country, Britain should accept all the BNO to be British and assist all of them to move to Britain.
مساء الخير
Funny how no-one ever protested to be communists.
No they are not British. BorisJohnson cannot let every chink that claims to be British become citizens. MBGA
Please let bNO holder to be British BNOisBritish 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
PassHKHumanRightsAndDemocracyAct is the last line of defense to uphold HK's treasured values and prevent the city from falling deeper 5DemandsNot1Less HKPoliceState chinazism
Hey WSJ: That ship sailed when Britain gave HK back to China. Unfortunately, China has gone back on the deal. HK was supposed to be left alone for 50 years; not happening. MJ
thecantonesegod I born in British Hong Kong!
UK has the obligation to make sure the Sino British Joint Declaration is working properly in Hong Kong. If Hong Kong’s autonomy and ‘One country Two systems’ are destroyed by China, UK has to take actions.
The Britain has a role in letting Hong Kong government becomes puppet of China.
They were never British before. But second class citizen in a colony
The bill is US issue. The US is providing advantages to Hong Kong because of HK special status which is different from other Chinese cities. If HK freedom and human rights are destroyed, US shd not provide these advantages to HK anymore and shd treat Hk as other chinese cities
I hope the world can save HK.... I don’t mind UK take HK back...
Trump says Hong Kong to be 51st state.
HKer believes in universal values, unless China. We are more like any other citizens than fight for freedom , fight for righteousness than Chinese. StandWithHongKong HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct
Go back to your British motherland and nobody here wants you to be a Chinese. LOL
so go to the UK. no one stop you
We are never Chinese, not a speck.
As I told my friends, the root of this is discrimination and racism, although hongkong people are also Chinese. But the young people think they are superior to mainland Chinese.
Worse move the British ever did. I mean come on.
Ok just think about it , a blonde blue eyed guy goes to China and gets a Chinese passport , learns and speaks fluent Mandarin and then sits among 300 ethnic Chinese people in a supermarket . He shouts loudly I am CHINESE , what do you think the 300 Chinese people would say ?
What fools! Fooled by the British! BNO=British? NO！！！
Joke！ BNO=British？NO！
China cannot be trusted.
Quand des ex colonisés HongKongers préfèrent l'ex colonisateur GreatBritain grandebretagne
If u don’t like China. U can emigrate and to be your British . OK?
thecantonesegod I am a Hong Konger. I don't want to be British AGAIN, because I have NEVER been!!!
They can only be citizens, they can never be British
China will never allow that to happen Better for HongKong people work only for democracy.

They need to recognize China is a communist country. Democrats send people overseas and get these things started and they always end in tragedy! Soros money st work devaluing the world!
Pls go srsly, this is win win situation.
Save Hong Kong🙏🏻
The people of Hong Kong are even more deliberately British, and less American, in their English diction and comportment than Indians claiming to have been educated in the British way. But Indians don't have British passports, which must be why they'd rather migrate to America.
move to England then
Ask them to take a flight to UK & see what is BNO. They will realize BNO is Brainless Nut (Overseas).
If that, please leave HK or apply for a stay visa. Remember HK doesn’t belong to UK any more!
Best idea I've heard yet.
They intend to resume communism after penetrating all the world. The death penalty is 1000-2000 people every year. The international community is too late. Now, Boycott Chinese products and defeat them.
Outside central station today in Hong Kong, the so-called protestors set fire! They are terrorists!!! Which county would allow such violence?! U. S. and U. K. please take these people.
North Korea is a military dummy of the Chinese Communist Party administration. Al Qaeda is the same too. Behind the terrorists is the People's Republic of China.
Many North Korean refugees are missing on the Chinese side of the border between China and North Korea. 39 people in July 2019. There may be more. Please help them.
support like Ukraine = Majdan
About 70% of Hong Kongers are Christians. (Protestant 258,000, Catholic 249,180, Population 7,374,900) The population of China is the largest in the world. 1,395,380,000. (about 90% are non-religious)
In that case you are probably the only Clingers in the Empire other than Las Malvinas (sorry, Falklands) and Gibraltar.
Japanese communists fled to North Korea on April 3, 1970. And the same group earned the trust of OIL money by Tel Aviv Lod Airport massacre on May 30, 1972. In recent years, North Korea has developed missiles with Iranian technology and hit many times.
The reality is neither Britain or US or any other countries for that matter has the capacity to take you and your fellow protesters. Making statements like these only reduce your legitimacy to fight for HK. You are just an opportunist looking to leave.
Think not only of the seriousness of things, but also on the population scale of 1.3 billion people. The international community should re-recognize the human rights and nation state of the People's Republic of China.
The People's Republic of China has limited freedom of thought and religion, freedom of expression, even the right to know and the freedom of the press. The sense is paralyzed that the international community thinks that this is a natural China.
It is not free, so there is nothing wrong with running away and nothing wrong with resisting, as long as you do not choose to be a CCP stooge.
and Activities born from Beijing institutions(北京機関) have occupie Japanese public opinion. All are Chinese plans. The Chinese Communist Party is the root cause of confusion in Hong Kong and All the world.
The government of the People's Republic of China always says. 'China is harmonious. America is not harmonious, and Japan is the same too.' But, American president have large debts from the Bank of China,
The People's Republic of China government can only violate the people. The election system is just form. The number and charges of death penalty are not revealed. Chinese reporters don't check this government. This is not a nation. This is just a Stupid group.
Social construction is very rough. Stop all transactions with the People's Republic of China !! They are not the nation. They don't comply with the Convention, even if they are permanent member of the UN Security Council. They are not the nation. They are just a Stupid group.
Without political rivals, there is no criticism. So It cannot be corrected when society goes in the wrong direction. Need journalism and political parties from multiple directions. Why dosen't China knows simple thing?
Is there freedom of speech? Does China has freedom of expression? Does China has freedom of thought and beliefs? That day, How many of what the students wanted in Tiananmen Square is in China today?
Why can not People's Republic of China ? We must be able to know what we want to know. We must be able to think what we want to think about. We must be able to insist what we want to insist. We must be able to believe what we want to believe.
I think the People's Republic of China is thinking about resuming communism again. The death penalty is 1000-2000 people every year. Every day 3 to 6 people are executed. Can you buy things from this country? Don't buy products from the People's Republic of China!
Do you remeber 2018 Chinese stock price drop of 3 trillion dollars ? 'It's a Long Way Down for China Stocks Channeling Past Traumas By Richard Frost , Sofia Horta e Costa , and Lu Wang 2018.10.18' Bloomberg
Try some UK or BREXIT? Chants Too.
What a shame!
Chinese are good people. But Chinese Government is very bad. China has dominated the inside of their country by fear. They are UN permanent members who do not follow the UN Convention. They are very insane stupied group. Don't buy products from the People's Republic of China!
Murderous idiots have dominated mainland China for 70 years with violence, fear and slaughter. In addition, Economy management failure. China is trying to make Hong Kong protesters an excuse for recession. Becouse China is MOST AFRAID TO MAINLAND CHINA PEAPLE GETTING ANGRY.
UK can’t handle Brexit ,my man.Don’t bother them ,ok?
Unfortunately the thugs are not welcome anywhere, although they look having lots of support globally. If you have ability, you can go anywhere. If you don’t, make your place better then instead of destroying
Britain is in turmoil with Brexit. Britain is in deeper shit than HK. They do not have time for you all.
for Hong Kong BingBeng
Send them to Britain
According to the history, TreatyOfNanking，HK Island and Kowloon belong to UK. UK must have a responsibility on this issue and re-examine HongKong sovereignty.
xiang_dian I wish UK can take care of all those riots.
UK being a co-signatory of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, has moral and legal responsibility to intervene when one country two system in HK is not implemented. Britain should take action. standwithhk
Unfortunately, the British are not British anymore
support like in Ukraine and Maidan to weaken Russia's in France when Macron collapsed and told about the EU military to defend us through the US = CIA acted quickly with yellow vests :)
So let him take things and fly to the UK.
Plz immigrate to Britain, or more precisely, England. Immediately, plz.
Anybody remember all the Chinese movies against colonization and being proud to have an independent China? Ip Man 2 I'm looking at you...
please get out of China asap!
So they are foreigners in Hong Kong. The are not entitled the rights of voting.
There is going to be an exodus, they want freedom
Yes please send these sorry asses out of HK
A young boy was just beaten by Hong Kong tonight. Hong Kong is no longer a safe place. UK should stand with Hong Kong people to fight the China tyranny.
Great!!! We need to start having them move to London and bring their protesting here. They will probably protest against Brexit as well!!! Leave them alone in Hong Kong with China!!!
choose a conscious,open election of any one country for national citizenship rights on one attains adulthood/Chinese or British/ pending global citizenship right to trade,travel,reside,even permanant residence in any country without national voting rights in a future sovereignUN.
HKer: British PM, please help us! PM: What was wrong? HKer: our leader was not elected by us. PM: me too.
赶紧改变，让这些人都去英国作英国公民吧，我们真不想要他们
they are losing their mind now and maybe induced by some spies
Rescind Hong Kong’s independence from China then
Hongkongers have been abandoned by British for 22 years, since 1997. It is time for British to show her care and justice. Give BNO owners and thier families full citizenship. Say NO to totalitarian regime. SaveHongKong Chinazi
The BNO is a stain on the history of Britain. They knew what’s happening Now was a possibility. Yet all they did was issue worthless bandaid passports.
Hong Kong got Fucked when they were given to Mainland China ... all without a fight ... now it's too late.
𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭: 60 sec local media buy midwest/south only
Hopefully so. China wants Hong Kong just for territorial rights and to impose the same rule of law as they do on the Mainland. The changeover should have never happened.
Perguntem aos xenófobos e anti-imigracão ingleses se eles consideram vcs. britânicos........
Brainwashed
HK is a British creation, not Chinese, and China wouldn't have been able to build anything like it on its own in 5000 years. Who would have thought that once one gets a taste of the oppressive Western Civilization, one doesn't want to trade down? Yes, down!
They dream to be colonialized. 😁
Much better.
滚吧
Isn’t it great that these British nationals go back to their motherland and stop messing up with the affair of another country? They should stay away from the Chinese land.
At this point, I think the Hong Kong people should mind what they wish for... Just a simple advice
Unfortunately BorisJohnson is too occupied with Brexit to worry about 170,000 hk residents... HKprotests hongkong
All the leaders behind protests have foreign passport. It is all about getting a foreign passport.
BritsWatch are they at it?
I think they would be better than dogs or monkeys, you all are custom to keep little animals as pets,why not keep them as pets too.
UK should take these people.
Meanwhile the liberal British and liberal Americans want to be communists.
We want FREE Hong Kong...
I think they just take this opportunity to put pressure on UK gov to give them citizenship.
this should clarify it
They're Chinese Not British!
HK is part of CHINA
They have British Passport but they can't to live and work there :) Sorry but you can find fake british passport in thailand too :D
