Criticism
- The creation of a new nationality (with fewer privileges) has been met with criticism, as many Hong Kong residents felt the British citizenship would have been more appropriate in light of the "moral debt" owed to them by the UK. There were also British politicians and magazines criticizing the nationality.
- The British Nationality Law 1981 has been criticised that different classes of British statuses are in fact closely related to the ethnic origin of the holder by experts; as well as by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination of the United Nations.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement, a statement of things a writer has to clear up in his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in the created work later.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
