I struggle to see the connection between a genocide in China and the rejection of a work permit in Hong Kong. Makes no sense whatsoever actually.
PS For the record, I would like to see work permits issued. My point is that nationalism is a double-edged sword. I am not promoting xenophobia, I am saying the exact opposite, nationalism is promoting xenophobia. I am always stunned and slightly confused sitting on the flight deck next to an immigrant in favour of anti-immigration rules at home.
Cabbage, fair point. If HK nationals get work permits in the UK this should be mutual. Just check your numbers, thousands of EU nationals have been rejected, not only 9 as you claimed. Plus without any doubt it will be much harder to work in the UK for anybody from the continent in the future.
