北京擬強推港版國安法，英國近日表明將會延張 BNO 在英國的居留期，為港人爭取得英國公民權鋪路。中國外交部發言人趙立堅今日批評，英國有關做法是搞政治操作，違背自身立場承諾，及違反國際法和國際關係基本準則。

The Hong Kong government criticised the move in a statement on Thursday night: “The high-profile measures taken by the UK Government on the pretext of the National Security Law are purely made out of political maneuver. They not only seriously violate the UK’s own pledge, but also seriously interfere in the affairs of the HKSAR.”
