    I love the idea of millions of immigrants, as long as they like buying crapholes in Swindon at inflated prices.

    Chinese passport got that extra non-extradiction value, their tax system probably has not caught up with “loans” too

    Hong Kongers will vote Conservative.

    1) They will be grateful.
    2) They are natural pro-capitalism/free-market/small-state types.

    He's doing what the left has been doing for years as they import benefit claimants.

    Neither position is honourable but this is what they are doing - neither to our benefit.

Boris really hasn't thought this one out, along with interfering in a sovereign nation...
    Sovereignty comes from the people, not from a bunch of tyrannical thugs running a one party state. The only Chinese leader with democratic legitimacy is President Tsai Ing-wen of the Republic of China.
