"The UK will introduce a new visa at the end of January that will give 5.4 million Hong Kong residents - a staggering 70% of the territory's population - the right to come and live in the UK, and eventually become citizens."

There is one of the natural consequences of building a global empire. The UK is destined to become a mixture of all races on planet Earth, just like its empire spanned all races and religions and hundreds of ethnicities. And if you think that is "unprecedented", you're very wrong. Genetic research has shown that the original inhabitants of Rome were REPLACED- yes, REPLACED, during the imperial era by near eastern migrants. Subsequently they were then replaced by barbarians from the north. If you build an empire, expect your subjects to come knock, or bang, on your door eventually.

Britain doesn't have an empire anymore and when they had a massive one they had no problem not replacing their own people.
