根据公开报道，持有BNO护照或可申请持有的中国公民约有300万人。英方在作出决定之前，最好要想一想，这些人如果都到了英国，就要享受和英国公民一样的工作、医疗及福利待遇。英国政府在作出最终决定之前，最好也要征求一下英国人民的意见，看看他们是怎么看待这件事的。

According to media reports, there are more than three million Chinese citizens who are BNO passport holders or can apply for BNO passports. It would be wise for the UK gove rnment to think carefully before having all those people in the UK and giving them the same benefits as those enjoyed by British citizens, such as job opportunities, health care and welfare. Before making the final decision, the British government had better solicit opinions from its people and get a grasp on their reaction to this.
