PM Says U.K. Could Admit Millions From Hong Kong Over New Security Law

The UK plans to offer Hong Kong residents a path to British citizenship if China enacts a new security law. This involves changing immigration laws to allow holders of British national overseas passports to stay in the UK for 12 months, with rights to work and potential citizenship. Approximately 350,000 residents hold these passports, with 2.5 million eligible to apply. This move could significantly alter the UK's visa system.
