Xiaoming yesterday warned the UK that China would take steps to stop recognizing British national (overseas) passports as valid travel documents, effectively banning Hong Kong citizens from leaving and moving to the UK.
"Since the UK violated the pledge and commitment on BNO we have to take other measures not to recognise the BNO as a valid travel document," he said in a press conference on Thursday.
He insisted "China threatens no one" but "we just let you know the consequences."
Xiaoming said: "China wants to be a friend of the UK and a UK partner, but if you do not want to be a partner and our friend, and you want to treat China as a hostile power, you will pay the price.
"We have a thousand reasons to make this relationship successful and not one reason to make it fail."
A nice slap on the face for the UK!
