If they're born here then they are not Chinese, are they.There is, as far as I know, no census data available that indicates the origins of current Chinese in UK, for you to make such an assumption, other than that the majority are UK born.

There are a large group of Chinese from HK, but it is not the majority.
Most Chinese in the UK are descended from previous expat Chinese from other places, including UK born, as well as HK, such as Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, etc.

What data is available is based on anecdotal and historical assumptions. Your 'life experience' excluded.
But the early Chinese settlers were ex-sailors, from Shanghai, Guangzhou Canton and Northern and southern China.
The last time I looked those places were not in Hong Kong.

Isn't it weird how some people squirm and wriggle, even to the point of switching sides, depending on which argument they prefer at any particular time to defend their previous statements.Don't try to defend you ignorance just brush up on your Geography.
So now you are saying that if someone describes themselves as a second-hand car salesperson, you interpret that as a regional sales manager for a major marque, including global and intergalactic sales?How people describe themselves is of no relevance.

People can be just as wrong about how they describe themselves as they can about how they describe others.I think that would depend on how they describe themselves.

And where's the logic in having entire government departments and government and private security forces tasked with denying people the ability to describe themselves as UK citizens but allowing free rein to people to describe themselves as non-UK?
The rules and policies must be consistent and logical.
What is his legal status?
If it is that he is a UK citizen then the only way to not be one is by renouncing it - he can no more simply declare himself to not be one if he is than someone born to non-UK parents outside the UK can become one by simply declaring that they are.
