Boris Johnson said new law violates Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy (File)
London:
Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy threatened the freedoms and rights protected by the 1984 Joint Declaration.
“The enactment and imposition of this national security law is a clear and serious violation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. It violates Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy and is in direct conflict with the basic law of Hong Kong. The law also threatens the freedoms and rights protected by the joint declaration, “said Boris Johnson in parliament.
“We have made it clear that if China continues on this path, we will introduce a new route for those with British overseas status to enter the UK, by granting them limited residence permits, with the opportunity to live and work in the UK and then apply for citizenship and that is precisely what we are going to do now. “
