You two will have to live in the UK for 5 years before you can apply for a UK passport for your wife. Not sure about the passport for any child born to you. My son was born here and was able to get one because I am British born and bred.
On the other hand my friend who was born here to one British parent had a bit of trouble getting a passport. Eventually she did. Good luck....

The child will be British if you were born there.

I would think if you had a brit passport then your child is entitled to one too.

She'll have to go back to the UK and live over there for 5 years.
Or
She could get the British passport through you I guess? (Check with the British embassy).
Or
If she was born at a certain period, when HK was still under British rule, then she could perhaps qualify for one.
Make sure you verify my claims, I am not sure whether I am telling u the right thing or not. I don't know much about it, but thought this could eventually guide u... a little.
Call the embassy anyway, they'll tell u all there's to know about it.
Best of luck!

Hong Kong does not have any embassies

The British Embassy is just located across the road of the Hong Kong high court/Conrad JW Hotel.
Your wife definitely needs to stay in UK for at least 3 years, even giving birth to the child who is gonna be British national as you are a BBC. The rules are changing, they want to close the doors to ppl who they don't want/need.
