"Many Hong Kongers have chosen to emigrate to the UK through the British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) immigration route launched in January 2021. This route is an unprecedented offer following China’s passing of the National Security Law, and reflects the UK’s historic and moral commitment to Hong Kong who chose to retain their ties to the UK by taking up BN(O) status at the point of Hong Kong’s handover to China in 1997.”

“自香港英國國民(海外)(BN(O))簽證於2021年1月推出以來，許多香港人透過此入境途徑移民英國。這前所未有的入境途徑，乃因應中國推行《港區國安法》而推出，反映了英國履行其對在1997年香港主權移交前透過領有BN(O)身份與英國維持連繫的香港人，所肩負的歷史和道德承諾。”
