Pretty sure that the three million BN(O)s in HK aren't all "wealthy entrepreneurs"...

Hong Kong has a highly educated workforce. It's likely those who have the economic means to come here are going to walk right into high-paying, skilled, jobs.

Agreed, but not 3,000,000+ of them (as we don’t have three million vacancies).

Plenty of High Street space soon once the second wave of Corona finishes off the businesses that survive the first.

Re: UK offers right to residency and path to citizenship to 3m Hong Kong citizens
Some of my other half's relatives are HK nationals and qualify as BNOs. A couple of her aunts who are of the older generation are not interested in coming here as their view is that they will be treated as second class citizens.
Judging by the attitudes of some in this supposedly welcoming, multicultural nation I am not half surprised.

I always thought that ethnic Chinese in the UK were among the least problematic group in the multicultural melange (of which just 1 doesn't do multiculturalism).
What is it about them that has been overlooked in relation to the Black population leading to BLM?

Well they probably remember the days when thr British ruled HK and did treat them as second class citizens. But then also the elderly are the least inclined to migrate even when threatened.

I don't recollect such complaints when the Ugandan Asians came here. As I understood it, they created more jobs. It's what entrepreneurs tend to do.
