The new "Budget" is about to be announced. The Liberal Party met with the Financial Secretary Paul Chan and the reporter today (30th), suggesting that the government cancel the "milk restriction order" that has been in place for nearly a decade, and reduce the impact on Hong Kong's retail industry and free economy. He also reiterated his support for the government's issuance of consumer coupons. The party chairman Shao Jiahui described it as "a cheer for Hong Kong people."
Member of the Election Committee, Wu Jiezhuang, suggested that the government distribute no less than $5,000 in electronic consumption coupons, and also suggested that the government provide consumption rebates for tourists, such as every $1,000 spent can be exchanged for $100 electronic consumption coupons.
In addition, he also suggested that the government expand the scope of gaming tax collection,
Shao Jiahui said that the "milk restriction order" has been implemented for nearly 10 years since 2013. The concerns of parents in Hong Kong about the supply of milk powder have long been resolved. According to the market survey results conducted by the authorities in 2018, designated milk powder can be purchased at randomly selected retail outlets. The success rate is 90%.
He emphasized that the current supply of milk powder is stable, and Hong Kong, as a region that pursues a free trade policy, as long as it ensures enough milk powder supply for young children in Hong Kong, the government does not need to intervene in the market. It is no longer needed and should not last long.
Therefore, the Liberal Party requires the government to cancel the "milk restriction order" in order to reduce the impact on Hong Kong's retail industry and the image of a free economy.
He also pointed out that the epidemic has lasted for three years, and the business community has "five tuberculosis and seven injuries." Cheer up for the people of Hong Kong."

Wu Jiezhuang advocated the distribution of consumption coupons of no less than 5,000 yuan

He believes that in the balance between the warehouse and the living conditions of the citizens, continuing to distribute electronic consumer vouchers of no less than $5,000 can improve the sense of gain of Hong Kong people. Increase cohesion.
In addition, in order to attract more tourists to Hong Kong and help the tourism and retail industry, Wu Jiezhuang proposed to conditionally distribute inbound electronic consumption coupons to tourists. For example, every $1,000 spent can be exchanged for $100 electronic consumption coupons to encourage tourists to shop and spend. Boost local tourism and retail.
