The only candidate for the chief executive election, Li Jiachao, will attend a question-and-answer session co-organized by seven electronic media outlets tonight (30th).
Citizens and the press are concerned about the epidemic and the issue of customs clearance.
Li Jiachao responded that if he is elected, he will give priority to customs clearance, formulate customs clearance conditions with the mainland and remove any customs clearance obstacles.
The reporter asked directly, "Is it not possible to communicate with the mainland in one day, and not even internationally?"
He pointed out that there is no inevitable contradiction between the two, and also mentioned that the epidemic measures will be implemented flexibly in the future, and various industries "will not be one-size-fits-all" to balance epidemic control, the economy and people's lives.
Said to discuss customs clearance conditions with the mainland
During the question-and-answer session, a citizen asked how to clear customs after the epidemic. Li Jiachao responded that he understands that citizens attach great importance to customs clearance.
He said that if he is successfully elected, he will handle customs clearance with the mainland as soon as possible, discuss the conditions for clearance, and then remove any barriers to customs clearance.
He mentioned that Hong Kong itself must create good customs clearance conditions, for example, "We have vaccines, and we need more injections."
He went on to say that the vaccination rate of the second dose is less than 90%, and the citizens will be able to provide a favorable environment for customs clearance after being vaccinated.
Emphasize that epidemic prevention measures are not one-size-fits-all
Hong Kong will do a better risk assessment of the epidemic, emphasizing that epidemic prevention measures are not one-size-fits-all, and different measures should be taken according to different risk assessments, so as to control and balance the social life and economy of all walks of life. He pointed out that these factors are all for customs clearance to remove obstacles.
After the question-and-answer session, Li Jiachao left TV City without responding to questions from other reporters present.

If you can't connect to the mainland for one day, you can't connect to the international market?
Li: There is no necessary contradiction
The reporter asked directly, "Is it not possible to communicate with the mainland in one day, and not even internationally?"
Li Jiachao said that the fifth wave of the epidemic was caused by imported cases. How to balance the anti-epidemic and daily activities, including assessing the arrival of foreigners in Hong Kong, should be pragmatically dependent on the changes in the epidemic.
He emphasized that there may not be inevitable contradictions between customs clearance in the Mainland and the connection with the world. He emphasized that we must first understand what the conditions for customs clearance in the Mainland are, and then remove obstacles after seeking solutions.
He also believes that he will consider whether to implement small-scale customs clearance first, and then gradually clear customs to large-scale plans. These plans need to be pragmatic and depend on the actual situation of Hong Kong.
From May, foreigners can enter Hong Kong.
Li Jiachao pointed out that he understands the impact of foreign defense imports on the spread of the epidemic, and the current government is shortening the quarantine time. It is believed that after balancing the needs of the epidemic, different control measures can be designed according to the actual situation in different links.
