According to Hong Kong media reports, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said in a meeting with reporters before attending the Executive Council on the 26th that the SAR government will announce later that most of the groups that have been exempted from entering Hong Kong in the past will be cancelled.
Carrie Lam said that the SAR Government's efforts to resume customs clearance with the mainland have never been slackened, and has submitted opinions to the central government to make Hong Kong's epidemic prevention measures more consistent with those of the mainland and will be implemented. In addition to the "Travel with Peace" app when citizens enter Hong Kong government premises, most of the groups exempted from quarantine in Hong Kong will be cancelled, but there is an urgent need and industries related to hong Kong operations can continue to be exempted, such as cross-border truck drivers, "hoping that the implementation of the measures will make the central government more confident in customs clearance".
Carrie Lam also said that the SAR government attaches great importance to the urgent demand that Hong Kong residents can return to the mainland without quarantine. She pointed out that the impact of the epidemic has lasted for a long time and has brought many problems to Hong Kong citizens such as economy, people's livelihood and family reunification. She said the government's efforts have never slackened and the goal now is to clear customs as soon as possible.
She said that if customs clearance is resumed, it is also an orderly, from small to large recovery, that is, at the beginning of the customs clearance scale is very small, there is a quota, will not immediately restore the situation that six or seven ports before the epidemic can be customs clearance at will.
A day earlier, Liang Zhenying, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, wrote on social platforms that "on my flight from Hong Kong to Beijing, the aircraft has 223 seats, including 7 passengers in china, and the other two in business class are Westerners." Therefore, he felt that "if you do not pass customs for a long time, one day, it will be the whole of Hong Kong that pays the bill."
"For a considerable number of Hong Kong people, it is not painful at all for a considerable number of Hong Kong people, and there is no consideration of pros and cons at all." Mr. Leung said the men had no family members and no business or work relationships in the mainland. Even if they do not pass customs for a long time, their lives are as usual, and the branches in the summer and the hairy crabs in autumn still come to Hong Kong from the mainland to respond to the market in large quantities; if they do not pass customs for a long time, most people pay their salaries, and there are not many fractions; if they do not pass customs for a long time, for those who think of "Dugang" all day long, want to cut a knife along the Shenzhen River, and pull Hong Kong to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the advantages of not passing customs are of course greater than the disadvantages.
But Leung Chun-ying also said that these are not the holders of customs clearance, who are the holders? Hong Kong people who have not met their employees and are doing business in the mainland to work for Hong Kong's economy in two years; Hong Kong students who have gone to school in the mainland and have not been reunited with their families for two years; cowherd weavers who have not met in two years, separated on both sides of the Shenzhen River; and young people who are on the same plane with me on a flight to the mainland because my mother is suddenly critically ill and beg me to help me get rid of quarantine.
"These stakeholders are the lifeblood of Hong Kong's social and economic ties with the mainland." Leung Chun-ying said that in the past two years, I have been running around the mainland and found a phenomenon that worries me a lot, because hong Kong and mainland personnel exchanges are basically cut off, and mainland customers who used to rely on Hong Kong for financial, trade and professional services have found alternative suppliers on the mainland. "Public decision-making should first consider the situation of stakeholders, weighing the pros and cons against the pros and cons of Hong Kong as a whole. If you don't clear customs for a long time, one day, it will make the whole of Hong Kong pay. ”
