HONG KONG -- Foreign consulates in Hong Kong were sent a reminder by China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs that dual-national detainees are not allowed to receive visits from consular officers, ahead of the third anniversary of the national security law Beijing imposed on the city.
In a letter seen by Nikkei Asia, dated May 31, the Hong Kong representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that Chinese law does not recognize dual nationality and "foreign consular officers shall not be entitled to visit any Chinese nationals detained in the HKSAR," using the official abbreviation for the Special Administrative Region.
