Hong Kong government officials went to Shenzhen yesterday (25th) to conduct a second matchmaking meeting with the mainland on preparing for customs clearance. The outside world is concerned about the specific implementation time.
The government has tightened a number of anti-epidemic measures in recent months. One of the major measures is that from the 9th of next month, all restaurants, theaters, beauty salons and theme parks will be compulsory to travel with peace of mind.
It is said that it will take 14 days for the measures to be implemented before the conditions for the first phase of customs clearance are possible.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor responded when attending the forum today (26) that the Chief Secretary for Administration Li Jiachao, who led the delegation to the Shenzhen meeting yesterday, explained to the media, "The most important sentence, if everyone pays attention, it is that mainland experts and friends think Hong Kong already has the conditions for "customs clearance." She described the stage results and believes that the details of the Hong Kong Health Code will be announced next week. Preparations also include the connection between the "Hong Kong Health Code" and the Mainland.
Customs clearance enters the proposed quotas, conditions and port arrangements
Carrie Lam also reiterated that the matchmaking meeting between the two places is very constructive and positive. The government has worked very hard to achieve quarantine-free customs clearance with the Mainland, and progress is good.
Immediately afterwards, we have entered the stage of preparing for customs clearance, including the flow of people, and how to arrange at the border.
In addition, the daily quota for the initial stage of customs clearance, the conditions that Hong Kong residents must meet to enter the mainland, and which port to use, etc., will be completed by the Hong Kong government as soon as possible and the customs clearance date will be announced as soon as possible.
Lam Cheng hopes that the preparation time is as short as possible, the customs clearance time is as fast as possible, and the number of places is as many as possible. However, it is not yet possible to say exactly which day it will be, and he emphasized that it must be carried out gradually and in an orderly manner.
Huang Liuquan: "One country, two systems" can't be compared to mainland cities without changing
Huang Liuquan, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, delivered a video speech, stating that Hong Kong's implementation of the one country, two systems policy will not change. He believes that the relevant policy is the central government's basic national policy and has been widely welcomed since its implementation for 25 years. There is no need or reason for change.
He mentioned that some people’s concerns about the "Hong Kong National Security Law" are unnecessary. Whether it is enacting the "Hong Kong National Security Law" or improving the electoral system, it is not China’s original creation, but an international practice, which is aimed at a small group of anti-China Disturbances in Hong Kong.
Huang Liuquan pointed out that Hong Kong’s dominant position will not change. In addition to being an independent customs territory and an international financial, trade and shipping center, it is also the only area in the country that uses common law. The business environment is recognized as one of the freest economies in the world. It is believed that these advantages are not comparable to mainland cities, and no city can replace Hong Kong.
