華爾街日報發表社評，指出香港積金局拒絕以BNO簽證申請提早取回強積金要求的做法形同綁架：

“Hong Kong is essentially holding pension assets hostage and confiscating them without due process. It is forcing Western finance firms to abet this confiscation if they want to operate in the city. This should embarrass the U.S. companies. All of this is further evidence that the rule of law has become a sham in Hong Kong, and that anyone’s property or business can be seized on the political whim of the Communist Party.”

文中亦都指出，此做法實質上是強迫香港人留低，並以充公其財產作為脅迫手段。此舉跟報復無異。
