The celebration meeting for the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was held on October 14. President Xi Jinping, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam and Macau Chief Executive He Yicheng all attended.
He Yicheng later said that Xi Jinping was very concerned about the epidemic in Macau, and affirmed the control of the epidemic in Macau, reminding Macau to prevent the next wave of epidemics and do a good job in epidemic prevention.
As for Lam Cheng, according to the reply from the Chief Executive's Office, he had a "warranty" with Xi Jinping on that day, but there was no meeting, and one can't help but doubt whether Lam Cheng's trip was "eating ginkgo."
Some politicians revealed to Sha Banshan that Lam Cheng took advantage of this trip to "leverage" the central government to push the Guangdong-Hong Kong health code on a curve. When he was in Shenzhen, he proposed to Xi Jinping's "close ministers" that he hoped that Guangdong Province could relax the customs clearance arrangements between the two places.
Macau and the Mainland implemented health codes as early as early September
The Hong Kong government has been hoping to promote the health code recently. Although the technology has been prepared, it has been in the quagmire of the "third wave of epidemic" in the past few months. It has not been able to completely get out of it. Guangdong Province has not been able to rest assured, so it has not agreed to implement the health code and relax it. Clearance.
Across the sea, Macao has resumed personnel exchanges with the Mainland as early as early September. Those who enter and exit only need to submit a valid 7-day COVID-19 nucleic acid test negative certificate and fill in a health code to enter and exit freely without the need for 14 days of isolation.

It is rumored that Guangdong Province has always hoped that the local infection cases in Hong Kong will be "cleared" before it is willing to relax the entry and exit restrictions of both sides.
Politicians with knowledge of the situation pointed out that under the current circumstances, it is difficult to "clear" local infection cases. The Hong Kong government hopes that Guangdong Province will lower the threshold. Taking into account the establishment of a health code and the provision of a negative test certificate, the risk of transmission can be greatly reduced.
The source also pointed out that the negotiations with Guangdong Province have been stalemate, and the Hong Kong government turned to ask the central government for help. Lam Cheng took advantage of President Xi Jinping's journey to Shenzhen to attend the 40th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the special economic zone in the middle of this month, and found an occasion to be with Xi. The "near ministers" of China expressed the relevant thoughts and asked the other party to convey to Xi, "If the president gives the green light, I believe that the Guangdong Province will also be willing to move and do it, and it will be a matter of course."

Sources expected to initially allow only hundreds of places per day
The Hong Kong government and the Mainland intend to launch health codes as early as early July, using Shenzhen as a pilot. It is rumored that Hong Kong and Shenzhen will each have 10,000 daily quotas for applications from specific groups, including business transactions, cross-border students, and cross-border students. Environment family.
However, "buried the door and kicked" encountered obstacles. A few days before the announcement of the plan, a "return celebration group" suddenly broke out. After that, a series of local infection cases emerged. The so-called "third wave of epidemics" hit the health code. Also had to be forced to temporarily shelve it.
Sources estimate that due to the fact that the epidemic in Hong Kong has not yet been "cleared" and there is concern that there may be a "fourth wave" after the winter, even if Guangdong Province agrees to implement the Guangdong-Hong Kong health code and relax customs clearance restrictions, it will also reduce the flow of people. It will not be as originally planned. Hong Kong and Shenzhen will have a daily quota of 10,000. "Instead, it will be calculated in three digits." That is, only a few hundred each day. It will only be used by people with business and implementation needs. Travel And free communication needs to be implemented in the next stage.
