The Chief Executive, Li Jiachao, said in his speech at the Hong Kong Summit today (17th) that he has been in office for about a month and a half, during which the "3+4" quarantine arrangement was introduced.
He also said that he heard the voices of the business community wishing to clear customs with the mainland, stressing that connecting with the world and customs clearance in the mainland are not opposites. The goal is to facilitate tourists without bringing additional risks to the mainland epidemic.

Speaking at the forum, Li Jiachao pointed out that he took office a month and a half ago and launched a new "3+4" quarantine arrangement.
He said that he deeply understands the importance of Hong Kong's international connections, and at the same time protects public health and life. He is very happy to see the industry welcome the relevant measures.
He stressed that he knew that many business people wanted Hong Kong to clear customs with the mainland, and reiterated that connecting with the world and customs clearance with the mainland were not opposed.
He supports and respects the mainland's epidemic prevention measures, and the government maintains communication with relevant mainland authorities. His goal is to make it easier for tourists without bringing additional risks to the mainland epidemic.
He also pointed out that the epidemic has an impact on the world economy and daily life, and the government's top priority will continue to fight the epidemic.
When Li Jiachao left the venue, he was asked to discuss the progress of customs clearance and whether a jury would not be required for the 47-person primary selection case, but he left without a response.
