Original sentence: British citizen passport holders from both the United Kingdom and Hong Kong enjoy 30-day visa-free access, and the ROC authority stamps their passports as they do for Britons from the United Kingdom.PRC citizens who hold British National (Overseas) or British citizen passports use home-visit permits (in Chinese) issued by the PRC Government.Republic of China, popularly known as Taiwan, however, fully recognises British citizens but not British Nationals (Overseas) (in Chinese).The ROC Government does not stamp British National (Overseas) passports, an act which would imply that Taiwan recognized the the British nationality of British Nationals (Overseas), even though British National (Overseas) passport holders enjoy 14-day landing-visa access (in Chinese).To make it involuntary or automatic would have been contrary to the assurances given to the PRC government which led to the words "eligible to" being used in paragraph (a) of the United Kingdom Memorandum to the Sino-British Joint Declaration.Uncertainty about the future of Hong Kong under PRC rule led to the United Kingdom creating a new category of nationality for which Hong Kong BDTCs could apply.Upon handover, they would lose this status and became PRC citizens
