Last updated: 2019-12-16 19:26Zhuhai Police today (16th) informed that a suspect of Hong Kong nationality who had absconded for 7 years was seized at a security checkpoint on the eastern artificial island of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. The report stated that the suspect was wanted by the Shenzhen Airport Customs Anti-Smuggling Branch in August 2012 in connection with the smuggling of mobile phones by truck drivers in Guangdong and Hong Kong.
Democratic Party Legislative Councillor Tu Jinshen said that it was not possible to confirm that the person mentioned in the report was the same as the person who was suspected of losing contact during the early journey to Macau via the bridge, but emphasized that if someone took a bus from Hong Kong to Macau, the mainland authorities should not exercise jurisdiction. The "three places and three inspections" principle should be adopted. The Citizen Party Tan Wenhao said that he had asked the Legislative Council Chairman Liang Junyan for an urgent inquiry, and hoped that the Secretary for Security Li Jiachao and the Secretary for Transport and Housing Chen Fan would attend the meeting and explain.

Tu Jinshen said that the mainland authorities suddenly set up a checkpoint on the eastern artificial island in the waters of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to inspect people from Hong Kong to Macau. This is not the three-place consensus of the original design of the bridge, nor is it a common practice. He mentioned that if a helicopter ride from Hong Kong to Macau would also pass through the airspace of the mainland, he would ask whether a mainland armed helicopter would be sent to search the artificial island. Mr. Tu Jinshen emphasized that casually setting up checkpoints in the Mainland would affect outside confidence in the Mainland, Macau and Hong Kong.
Citizen Party Tan Wenhao said that Guangdong Province issued an announcement last Monday that it would set up a security checkpoint on the eastern artificial island from December 10, and questioned whether the Hong Kong side did not announce or did not know based on the principle of confidentiality. Tan Wenhao also pointed out that according to the coordination of the construction, operation, maintenance and management of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge by the three governments, Article 18 states that the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Port will implement "three places and three inspections", that is, the three governments will In the district, independent port facilities are constructed, and exit and entry inspections of passengers, vehicles, and cargo are carried out in accordance with applicable laws in various places, questioning why it will now become "three places and four inspections."
Earlier reports said that a Hong Kong person was detained by the mainland police on the Eastern Artificial Island for a shuttle bus to Macau on Friday (13th) via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and his whereabouts were unknown. His son had asked the Hong Kong police for help, but he received a reply stating that the incident occurred outside the country and would not be accepted. The victim's son returned to the Mainland to find his father but failed.
