Sheung Shui Plaza was relatively calm throughout the day. Some shop staff said that the flow of people this morning was the same as before. After the afternoon, the flow of people was significantly reduced. The mall would be leaking on weekdays, but it is obviously not crowded today. Shop staff frankly agreed to continue to carry out demonstrations such as "with you shop", because it can reduce the number of mainland visitors to Hong Kong. Although the company's position is not known, every time a demonstration occurs in the mall, the company will take the safety of its employees as the first priority and immediately go off the gate. As far as he knows, mainlanders mainly come to Hong Kong for replenishment, so many people will not leave until just before the accident.

District dwells on the mainland

Deng Sheng, a resident of the North District, believes that the problem of parallel cargo customers in Sheung Shui is difficult to solve. For Internet users who launched a "with you shop" yesterday, demonstrators kicked the luggage of mainland passengers. Deng estimated that the protesters were all residents of the North District. Torture can release emotions, and it also means that "the police always have emotions." However, Deng believes that "with you shop" is not a long-term demonstration because the North District is not in all directions and it is difficult to gather people. In the long run, the government hopes to reduce the number of one-way permits and reduce the number of mainland tourists. Like the mainland. "
