1) On May 28, British Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, said the UK would extend visa rights for about 350,000 British national (overseas) (BNOs) passport holders if Beijing went ahead with its plans to impose a national security law on Hong Kong. He said visa rights would be extended from a period of six months to an extendable 12 months and so provide an unspecified pathway to future citizenship.

2) In a clear expression of resentment against the new Security Law being imposed by Beijing on Hongkong, a new wave of unions has emerged to organise employees across a wide spectrum of sectors. Seeing unions as a political and labour organisation, labour rights as civil rights, political struggles as economic struggles, young unionists are poised to redefine the meaning of unionism for Hong Kong. Some 1,600 new unions have filed for registration in recent months, which Hong Kong's obstructionist government claims would take it 50 years to process. One of these unions even pulled off a stunning five-day strike by 8,000 medical workers demanding that the government close the borders with China in the early days of the outbreak.
