Recent controversy about the ban of the Hong Kong National Party, a separatist political group, has sparked international criticism. This is no doubt an incident that will have severe consequences for Hong Kong's political freedom. But please be clear that for British nationals, they were supposed to be not involved in any political issues within the Hong Kong SAR, which includes the separatist movement. Moreover, China has entered into a highest ever scale of trade war with the United States. Hong Kong is going to be seriously affected both politically and economically. The UK government must make sure the BNOs can stay away from such conflict and the upcoming turmoil that would happen in Hong Kong.
