Re: An open letter -- BN(O)s should be granted full citizens

In the meantime, there is always the option of coming to the UK on a working holiday visa (BNO passport is eligible), work permit or HSMP.

Bermuda's case showing us that how fragile a British citizenship is. There are some people in Hong Kong who were granted British citizenship before the handover, can their citizenship be revoked by the same/similar reasons?

1) I don't think you will automatically lose your PRC citizenship upon acquistion of other citizenship. You need to "make a declaration of change of nationality" at the HKSAR Immigration Dept to discard your PRC citizenship. See http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/chnnationality_3_1.htm As you st...
