China 'Exploring Ways to Counteract' UK's Help Towards BN(O)

According to Members of the PRC's Standing Committee of National People's Congress, Tam Yiu-chung, of the Pro-Beijing Camp said in a media interview that China is currently exploring ways to counteract U.K.'s easing of the application of citizenship among BNO (British National Overseas) holders.

Tam said that China may revoke the Chinese nationality of BNO holders, and this might affect their Hong Kong permanent resident status and forbid them from travelling to China with the Chinese pass.

The next day the Narcotics Bureau and Financial Investigation Police raided the church in Fanling, a branch in Kwun Tong and three homeless hostels.

Public Broadcaster in Hong Kong Follows China's Decision to Lift #BBC

Recently, the British authorities cancelled the licence of the Chinese Communist Party-funded English channel #CGTN in the United Kingdom.

On the early morning of Feb 12, 2021, Beijing responded by accusing BBC of "serious content violations" and banning BBC World News in "Chinese territory".

Two Reuters journalists in China said the channel had gone blank on their screens. Although it was said that BBC would remain available in Hong Kong, the public broadcaster #RTHK in Hong Kong announced on the same day that BBC World News would be lifted from their program from 11pm onwards that day, due to the decision of the broadcasting regulator in Beijing.
