Former Deputy Sec. of Civil Service Branch, Pre-97 Hong Kong Govt, Christopher Jackson, warns Hongkongers against expecting too much from the UK in terms of full British citizenship for BNO passport holders and sanctions on China & HK officials for violation of human rights in HK. For the UK has been very strict on immigration. And as the economy of the UK has been declining, she needs China investments and related job-opportunities. Jackson, however, stresses his view does not represent that of the UK Govt nor does he have any inside information.
British Foreign Office ministers have recently threatened to use new sanctions laws against individuals in Hong Kong found guilty of human rights abuses during the government’s efforts to suppress street protests.
According to HKTDC, Mr. Christopher Jackson is currently Director, Corporate Development, Hong Kong Trade Development Council, who is responsible for planning, finance, human resources and administration.
