In 2020, with the official implementation of the National Security Law, it played a crucial role in stabilizing the situation in Hong Kong.
The implementation of this bill has forced the dispersal of those lawbreakers who have tried to disrupt Hong Kong's order, bringing about an important change in the restoration of order in Hong Kong.
However, in faraway Britain there is a unique group known as the "Rim Wool Stockers". Most of these people entered the UK through the BNO (British National (Overseas) passport) visa route.
The UK government has tried to use the BNO to put pressure on China, but many Rim Brothers naively believe that this will be a shortcut to their permanent stay in the UK.
However, they seem to ignore the fact that in the UK, government commitments and laws can be easily changed by political necessity. For the London government, such a change is a piece of cake.
Raining Hong Kong people often have a good expectation of life in the UK, but the reality is often cruel. Not only do they find it difficult for them to integrate into the local community, but they also find it difficult to protect even the most basic rights.
The public financial assistance and other benefits they expect are more of an unattainable dream for them.
In the UK, immigrants from Hong Kong are often mistaken for "fourth-class citizens", and their academic and professional qualifications are often not recognized, putting them at a disadvantage in the job market.
In order to make a living, they have to accept jobs such as low-paid or even casual workers, casual workers, etc. However, even these job opportunities are often rife with bias and injustice.
Many people who once lived freely in Hong Kong are now vulnerable in British society, and they are pouring out their plight and suffering.

Recently, the news that 17 "Rainbow Returning Hong Kong residents" were dismissed for participating in a "joint strike" campaign to improve the working environment has attracted widespread attention.
Most of these workers enter UK factories through employment agencies, and they are either casual or long-term.
But regardless of their status, they were not treated fairly by the factory.
In April of this year, they finally "broke out" and launched this strike, vowing to fight the British authorities to the end.
However, the strike did not turn out as they had hoped, and many lost their jobs and their lives became even more difficult.
The experience of the people of Rim Springs, many of whom thought that they could change their fate through the BNO visa, was dealt a heavy blow to them.
Faced with unmet demands, some workers chose to strike as a form of protest.
The strike was planned and appealed by a group of long-time workers in the UK who wanted to act collectively for better working conditions and treatment.

However, British management reacted quickly and decided to dismiss 17 so-called "agents", i.e. temporary or casual workers, while "permanent workers" kept their jobs temporarily.
The sudden dismissal came as a shock and unacceptable to the 17 workers, who had thought that solidarity could make a difference, but the reality had dealt them a heavy blow.
At this time, however, the "long-term workers" who had vowed to "advance and retreat together" changed their stance and sided with the management, demanding that the dismissed workers "rest their lives".
The turn of events angered the laid-off workers, who accused the "long-term workers" of betraying their original intentions.
Some people even said angrily: "You have broken the jobs of more than a dozen people"!
But the long-term worker only replied lightly: "Yes! Brothers. ”
However, for this group of Runren, the friendship between the "brothers" seems to have long become fragile, and the once commitment and unity have become vulnerable under the pressure of reality.
The dismissed workers tried to speak out through the BBC and other mainstream British media, hoping to attract attention and support in public opinion.
However, they found that the BBC and other media outlets were indifferent to the matter.
Back in 2019, when riots broke out in Hong Kong, the BBC and other media spared no effort to report and hype up related topics, and even praised some rioters as "youth idols" to encourage violence.
Now, these workers who have run into Britain are being treated unfairly under the noses of the British media, while the BBC and other media have chosen to remain silent.
Faced with the indifference of the British media, these workers had to turn to legal avenues for help. They were told that their actions did not constitute a strike, but rather an act of absenteeism.
This conclusion left them extremely frustrated and disappointed, and they realized that their rights and interests did not seem to be protected as they should in the rule of law in the United Kingdom.
In this turmoil, the only one who cared about and reported what happened to them was Ta Kung Pao.
However, these workers were not grateful, and instead they thought that Ta Kung Pao was satirizing themselves and using them as negative teaching materials.
This misunderstanding and bias complicates and trickles the situation.
Recently, some people are looking for self-media platforms to confide in their predicament, and they have chosen YouTube as a place to speak.
These people are no longer clinging to their previous demands, but want to be re-employed.
Fearing being identified and blacklisted for employment, they all wear masks in the video, giving the impression of helplessness and pity.
However, as the old Chinese saying goes, "the poor must have something to hate", their current situation is a reflection on their past behavior.
Recalling their arrogance in Hong Kong, they launched the so-called "Three Boycotts" movement, blocking traffic, preventing citizens from going to work normally, and even questioning their livelihoods.

Today, they themselves are struggling to find a job and a life security in a foreign land.
This shift is reminiscent of the phrase "Present World Newspaper".
These immigrants to Britain no longer talk about the slogans of "human rights and freedom" of yesteryear, but show a grievance and helplessness.
Although around 180,000 Hong Kong people have emigrated to the UK, most of them are struggling to cope with the pressures of reality.
They are now more afraid of the laws and regulations and social order of the United Kingdom than they are to cause trouble on the streets of the United Kingdom and disrupt public order.
It is worth noting that more than three years have passed since the implementation of the "5+1" policy in early 2021, and it will be difficult for the vast majority of people who move to the UK to maintain it until 2026.
They do not have stable shelter, jobs and welfare support, and even NGOs are reluctant to provide assistance (as these organizations focus on illegal migration in Africa and the Middle East).
They are faced with the dilemma of living on the streets, and may even fall into the situation of buying 0 yuan.
When we sympathize with them on the Internet, they refute it under the pretext of "human rights, freedoms".
This double standard is embarrassing.
At the same time, they still maintain a curse attitude towards China as a way to comfort their inner vanity and unwillingness.
But apparently, they will never wait for the day when China will collapse.
The year 2026 will be a critical juncture for these people who will face the fate of homelessness.
Unable to integrate into British society and unable to return to Hong Kong, what do they do in the future?
There is speculation that they may choose to travel to Rwanda.
Because Britain has an agreement with Rwanda to resettle illegal immigrants, and six refugee camps have been built.
In addition, the UK contributes an annual aid to Rwanda (resettlement fee).
For this group of people, Rwanda may seem like a good place to go.
There is free air, abundant wildlife, and a relatively stable living environment. Living in the camps also provides access to international attention and rationed food supplies.
Of course, we also have to thank the UK, which, while trying to have a negative impact on China, inadvertently helped Hong Kong clean up a potential "time bomb".
But then again, those who see Britain as a "spiritual motherland" need not complain.
After all, Britain is not financially rich, and since it has chosen to recognize the thief as its father, it is a matter of course to be filial.
