Depending on how bad it turns out I could see a wave of HK emigration to the UK.

Similar how a lot of Asians living in Africa (Uganda Kenya etc.) did in the 1970's, Without the ethnic cleansing aspect.

This is already happening: https://www.gov.uk/types-of-british-nationality/british-nati...

My friend moved on that visa this week. Before Hong Kongers could get a BNO passport and it wasn’t particularly useful. The British government changed the conditions a year ago, and now it’s an open residence permit with a direct path to full citizenship.

There are at least a million people eligible for a BNO passport.
