At present, the Hong Kong government is holding an expert meeting with the Mainland to discuss the issue of quarantine-free customs clearance. The Secretary for Innovation and Technology Xue Yongheng said on a TV program today (17th) that one of the solutions studied by the authorities is to use a "health code" to allow applicants to take the initiative Declaring whether they have been to a high-risk location, whether they are a high-risk person, etc., and that the research report has been submitted to the relevant mainland authorities.
Tan Yaozong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, believes that if you rely on citizens to declare their whereabouts on their own, I am afraid that the mainland will not accept and rest assured, and believes that if the health code between Hong Kong and the mainland is not connected, there will be a little waste of time in the discussion.
When receiving an inquiry from "Hong Kong 01", Tan Yaozong said that he is not optimistic that the Hong Kong government can successfully obtain customs clearance. He pointed out that if the government wants to pass the customs but does not act in accordance with the mainland standards, it may be difficult to achieve. To the request of the mainland government: "I did not participate in the expert matchmaking meeting, but it is inferred from common sense that if you create another system for simplicity and convenience, and the mainland does not accept it, they will not directly criticize you, but they will not allow you. (Exempt from quarantine and return to the Mainland). Actually, there is a little waste of time like this. Right now, this is what the Mainland is most concerned about? If your health code is not connected with theirs, I believe (the expert meeting) "There is a row", it may not be A consensus is reached."
He believes that the most important factor for Macau's customs clearance with the mainland is that the health code system can fully cooperate with the mainland system.
He reiterated that the new health code system can be used voluntarily, and those who want to return to the Mainland without quarantine can install it. I believe it will be easier for the people of Hong Kong to accept.
