Hong Kong protesters in London got wind that the HK Economic and Trade Office is holding a new year reception. They managed to do a surprise protest - shocking even Chinese embassy minister Yang Xiaoguang. I asked him why they did not go in, and this happened. Report to follow:
From today, we are introducing a new Priority Visa service for our Hong Kong BN(O) route which will see visas processed in just 5 working days for those who need to travel urgently.
It continues the UK’s unwavering commitment to the people of Hong Kong 🇭🇰
Love love love this beautiful piece by @lumli_lumlong, gifted to me by the incredibly thoughtful @mumofblack. I’ve hung it in my foyer, a daily reminder that our movement for Hong Kong’s democratic self-determination has taken root and isn’t going anywhere.
