Chief Executive Carrie Lam attended the question session of the Legislative Council today (8th). This was the last time before the policy address was issued in October. It was also the first question after the passionate citizen Cheng Songtai lost his membership.

In the absence of all opposition parties that may raise more acute questions, it is expected that the questions of Members will focus on issues such as people's livelihood policies, the content of next month's policy address, and customs clearance between China and Hong Kong.

Among them, Lam Cheng announced yesterday that Easy-to-Hong Kong will restart and Easy-to-Hong Kong will be launched next week, which is expected to become the focus of the establishment.


After the questioning session, the Legislative Council meeting will also be held.

"Hong Kong 01" will live broadcast the Q&A process.


[11:24] New Territories West Member, Junyao Ho, described the central policy as "faster than the high-speed rail and more complicated than the subway", and asked how Hong Kong should cooperate with the development of Qianhai and surrounding events at high speeds, tear down the walls, and loosen the restrictions on environmental laws such as environmental restrictions. , Asked if these "curses" could be resolved in the future.

Lam Cheng responded that she would not object to Ho Junyao's claim that some of Hong Kong's pace is slow, especially in terms of land development policies.

She reiterated that she mentioned in the two policy addresses that the Secretary for Development would take the lead in studying issues related to the inconsistencies in the definition and practices of land development in various departments, and to study the work of accelerating the speed of harmonization.

She also thanked the Legislative Council, saying that the efficiency of the executive authorities depends on the Legislative Council, and emphasized that the extension of the legislature will speed up. Last November, the Legislative Council passed 30 bills after the "restoration", and 16 other bills are expected to be passed by the end of October.

In terms of funding, Carrie Lam said that the current session of the Finance Committee has passed 328 billion yuan, describing it as a basis for efficient governance and hopes to continue in the future.

[11:21] Practical Roundtable Tian Beichen is very happy that one-way customs clearance can be implemented in the third quarter and believes that Carrie Lam can propose to Guangdong Province to launch the "Homecoming Easy" for Hong Kong residents under specified conditions, including applying for Hong Kong and Shenzhen Health code, two vaccination, and no travel history in the past month.

He suggested that compatriots from the Mainland should be required to travel with peace of mind after arriving in Hong Kong via Easy Entry.

Lam Cheng said that the above proposal was also made to the Mainland by the Hong Kong government. At present, 21 days after Hong Kong is cleared, it can proceed to the next step to discuss customs clearance arrangements with the Mainland. The specific method must be discussed with the Guangdong Provincial Government and the Central Government, because Hong Kong does not want to become a weaker Mainland China. A part of epidemic prevention and control.

[11:17] DAB Zhou Haoding asked about the development of Hong Kong and Qianhai, and asked whether the Chief Executive would consider "co-location and two inspections" if there is a railway connecting Hung Shui Bridge in Qianhai.

Lam solemnly reiterated that he would explain the development of the northern New Territories in the policy address, but emphasized that land development is beneficial to the overall development of the country. He mentioned that the Legislative Council passed the "co-location and two inspections" in support of the renovation and use of the Huanggang Port, which gave the Hong Kong government confidence. We can continue to discuss with Shenzhen based on this situation. When other ports are improved and upgraded in the future, the "single-site inspection and inspection" is the "basic order".

She also mentioned that Macau has a "cooperative inspection, one-time release" approach. The Hong Kong government can consider it macroscopically in the future, emphasizing that it will consider how to facilitate customs clearance as soon as possible in the future.

[11:14] Liu Guoxun from the DAB asked whether the government would set up a task force to strengthen the development of New Territories North, collaborate with Qianhai, and connect the New Territories North Railway to Qianhai.

Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor responded that there are many new development areas in the North of New Territories, and he fully agrees to look at the development of North New Territories in an integrated manner. He also pointed out that after the expansion of Qianhai is closer to Hong Kong, it is only separated from Hong Kong by a bay, and transportation infrastructure is an important part of it. However, it is inconvenient to disclose too much at the moment. It is predicted that the "Policy Address" to be published next month will have an answer.

[11:11] Chen Jianbo in the insurance industry asked that many foreign countries have adopted policies to coexist with the virus. On the contrary, Hong Kong has been strictly preventing the import of foreign cases. Will the government study whether the epidemic prevention policy is in line with foreign countries and maintain Hong Kong's status as an international financial center.

Lin Zheng responded that the government should not adopt a policy of coexistence with the virus, implying that Singapore is in a serious situation because of this.

She said that even if there are imported cases in Hong Kong, the government is confident that they will stop them from entering the community.

She believes that the current stage is to maintain the clearing, and then discuss customs clearance with the mainland, the public should help raise the vaccination rate.

[11:07] The Pakatan Harapan Zhang Huafeng mentioned the 14th Five-Year Plan, saying that the central government has successively launched the Hengqin and Qianhai plans recently, and the Hong Kong government has followed suit and asked the chief executive to launch cross-border transactions, family offices, and green bonds.

Lam Cheng responded that Zhang Huafeng’s question reflected that the financial industry will have an opportunity, and he emphasized that everyone should equip Hong Kong as an international financial center.

She quoted officials from the China Securities Regulatory Commission as saying that Hong Kong has a role, describing that she is now "distributing reassurance." The central government attaches great importance to Hong Kong's status. There will be many measures in the future, which will be introduced one after another.

She emphasized that Hong Kong must also strengthen itself and implement more favorable policies.

Lin Zheng mentioned that he had just arrived in Shenzhen to attend a meeting. One of the meetings was related to finance. He revealed that the Shenzhen Municipal Government will become the first place to issue RMB bonds in Hong Kong, which is expected to be implemented next month.

[11:03] The chairman of the DAB, Li Huiqiong, is concerned about the issue of customs clearance, saying that it is easy to return to Hong Kong and it is difficult to go north. She asked Carrie Lam what conditions Hong Kong still owes to clear customs with the Mainland, and what considerations does the Guangdong Provincial Government have to implement the Hong Kong version of the health code Will it help customs clearance.

Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that since the fourth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong has subsided, the period of reporting to the central government on customs clearance has not stopped. The epidemic is currently under control, and there have been 21 days without local infections. Foreign import prevention measures are strict. There are even chambers of commerce, Foreign consuls objected, but emphasized the need to implement strict foreign import prevention measures, because the external epidemic is still breaking out.

She also pointed out that customs clearance with the Mainland requires experts from the two places before customs can be cleared in an orderly manner. She cannot explain their considerations on behalf of the Mainland authorities.
