Senior Female Police Inspector Lin Wanyi fell into the sea during an anti-smuggling operation off Shazhou yesterday (25). Her whereabouts are still unknown.
Smuggling by sea is rampant under the new crown pneumonia epidemic. According to the analysis of the concern group, the mainland and Hong Kong have not been cleared for a long time. Some commodities under the Hong Kong duty-free policy are cheaper. In addition, mainland customers believe in the quality of Hong Kong products. Three reasons have led to smuggling under the epidemic. The situation has not stopped. It is recommended to set up a Shenzhen version of the "Xintian Shopping City", managed by Hong Kong people, and enjoy tariff concessions or exemptions, so that mainland customers do not need to buy parallel or smuggled goods.

North District Parallel Passenger Concern Group: Most smuggling at sea goes to Shekou
The new crown pneumonia epidemic has lasted for more than one year and eight months. China and Hong Kong have not cleared customs. This has changed the smuggling from land to water. A short video of dozens of smuggled speedboats lined up from the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge at high speed has attracted attention. .
Liang Jincheng, the convener of the North District Parallel Importers Concern Group, described it as "shocked and exaggerated." He believed that many Hong Kong products are cheaper than the mainland, and mainland customers believe in the quality of Hong Kong products. Therefore, demand has not stopped due to the epidemic. It is estimated that the epidemic has made the two places less than the epidemic. The former convenience has led to a slowdown in land smuggling and turned to sea smuggling.
However, Liang pointed out that in the past, there were also water smuggling, mainly large home appliances, machinery products, and expensive fruits. Also affected by the supply chain, water smuggling mostly went to Shekou, while land smuggling went to Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau.
The Legislative Council's wholesale and retail member, Mr. Siu Ka-fai, also believes that customs clearance is affected by the epidemic, but there is still a certain demand for Hong Kong products in the Mainland. In addition, the epidemic has continued for more than a year.
Liang Jincheng believes that many Hong Kong products are cheaper than the mainland, and mainland customers trust the quality of Hong Kong products. Therefore, the demand has not stopped due to the epidemic.

Promote the construction of the Shenzhen version of "Xintian Shopping City"
Liang Jincheng took Macau as an example. After the customs clearance earlier, the number of inbound and outbound passengers at the port increased sharply, which caused rampant parallel cargo activities in Gongbei. The situation is similar to the situation in Sheung Shui before the epidemic. It is expected that the situation in Sheung Shui after full customs clearance will be similar.
He believes that although Xintian Shopping Mall, which is positioned to attract free travellers from the Mainland, is out of service, it may be considered to reopen in Shenzhen and sell Hong Kong products with tariff concessions or exemptions, which will be managed by Hong Kong people to avoid full customs clearance. Later, mainland customers flocked to them. Secondly, mainland customers will be more convenient to buy cheap and confidently guaranteed goods, which will also help combat parallel imports and smuggling, and achieve a win-win situation.
Before the epidemic, Sheung Shui was a concentrated area of parallel importers.

"Dafei" can pick up the goods in the waters near inland in the Shazhou area and arrive at Shekou soon
People familiar with the matter pointed out that since the epidemic was closed at the beginning of last year, smuggling at sea has become more and more serious. The smuggling hotspot has been transferred from Lamma Island to the sea area of Shazhou outside the jurisdiction of Marine Police West Division, so that the smuggling "big fly" can receive goods. After that, it took the shortest distance to reach Shekou, the mainland for delivery.
The goods include frozen meat, seafood, seafood, consumer goods and high-priced electrical appliances, etc. The smuggling of goods is worth billions of dollars each year.
According to people familiar with the matter, the "Super Flying" is fast and highly maneuverable. It is close to inland waters, and it is difficult for marine police and customs vessels to chase. Therefore, it is more confident. It shuttles around the sea day and night and treats the piers of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge as gathering feet. Point, without fear of police raids.
