Chinese Embassies in the world stop passport renewal and issuing new passports
Image 1:
My friend's Chinese passport will expire the second half of this year. He went to the Chinese embassy to renew the passport in March but the embassy kept postponing the appointment date. My friend got a notification in April for appointment then got change to July. He called today and was informed that the passport can't be renewed because the factory in China stopped the passport production. The Chinese embassy recommended him to go back to China first.
This is the third case that Chinese embassy rejected a renewal passport application. This round of locking down of China is coming violently and rapidly.

A Chinese embassy in Tokyo also refused to issue new passports.
Image 3:
This is what overseas Uyghurs have experienced all these years. No passports is issued to them, they are only given travel permits, and have to go back to China to get passports. And once they go back to China for passports, they are sent to concentration camps. At that time when the Uyghurs came out and shouted such policy was unfair, many Chinese didn’t believe it. Now it’s good, every person, one by one, is entering Xinjiang mode. It seems it won’t be too long to see concentration camps in places other than Xinjiang in mainland China!

Arrested District Councillor: It felt as though the motive was to confiscate my passport
On Jan 6, 2021, the Hong Kong authorities launched the largest crackdown on the pro-democracy camp since the implementation of the National Security Law in June 2020. The Hong Kong Police Force arrested 53 pro-democracy figures including former lawmakers, current district councillors, campaigners, lawyer and scholars, all in one day.

51 of them were detained overnight for over 40 hours before they were bailed on the evening of Jan 8, 2021
Democractic Party member Wan Siu-kin, formerly lawmaker and currently serving as a district councilor in Kwai Tsing, said the police had record his testimony on video for 3 times, with officers from the national security bureau handling the final recording.
During the process, the police showed him a newspaper cutting, which read "Ten Steps to 'Laam Chaau' [literally meaning, stir fry together]" and asked if Wan knew about it, and who said it.
Wan said the police also showed three short recordings about the legislative primaries that took place in July 2020. To his understanding, the officers from the national security bureau only handed the short recordings to other police officers on the same day and in a hurry.
Wan had the impression that everything was "done in a rush" and that it "felt as though the motive was to confiscate (his) passport".

Hong Kong authorities tells 14 countries to stop accepting special British passport
//The Hong Kong government on March 25, 2021 confirmed a Reuters report that it had told 14 countries to stop accepting a British travel document that many of its young people use to apply for working holiday visas in Europe, North America and parts of Asia...
“The Hong Kong government has no authority to dictate which passports foreign governments recognise as valid,” a spokeswoman for the British Foreign Office said when asked about the Reuters report.
“The UK will continue to issue British Nationals (Overseas) passports which remain valid travel documents.”
Almost 3 million Hong Kong residents hold or are eligible for the BNO document that was created ahead of Britain handing the city back to Chinese rule in 1997.
Hong Kong has also started to mirror mainland China by not recognising dual nationality, preventing for the first time foreign diplomats from visiting locals with foreign passports in detention...//

Exclusive: Hong Kong tells foreign governments to stop accepting special British passport
The Hong Kong government on Thursday confirmed a Reuters report that it had told 14 countries to stop accepting a British travel document that many of its young people use to apply for working holiday visas in Europe, North America and parts of Asia.
#UK Continues Issuing #BNO As Hong Kong Government Has No right to Dictate the Travel Document Validity to Foreign Countries
The Hong Kong government issued a letter to more than ten foreign embassies, reported by Reuter on March 25, 2021.
The letter stated that starting from Jan 31, 2021 the government does not recognize BNO as a valid travel document. The letter also demanded other embassies to stop accepting work holiday applications with BNO and advised that the HKSAR passport is the only acceptable document.
In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UK indicated that the HK SAR Government has no right to dictate whether a travel document is valid to foreign governments and that the UK government will continue issuing BNO as a legal travel document.
Reuters reported on Mar 25 that diplomats confirmed that a letter, witnessed by the reporter, was issued by the Hong Kong government to several embassies demanding the ban on work holiday application with BNO.
An anonymous diplomat opined, “the letter is going to be ignored by most countries… This is just the HK government’s wishful thinking. They have no rights to dictate what documents are accepted by foreign governments”. Another diplomat described the act as “bordering on belligerent”, which differs from its attitude in the past as an international financial center.
