Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao, after taking office on December 24, went to Beijing for the first time to report to Hong Kong for the first time, and sent a "Christmas gift" to the public: the customs clearance with the Mainland can be realized!The central government agreed to "gradual, orderly, and comprehensive customs clearance" in Hong Kong and the Mainland.He announced that the government will immediately set up the "Clearance Affairs Coordination Team", led by the Director of the Administration Affairs, and all 15 government policy bureaus participated. They will discuss the customs clearance plan with relevant mainland departments as soon as possible and report to the central government for approval. The goal is to implement before mid -January.After nearly 3 years of the epidemic, the restoration of customs clearance between the two places is undoubtedly a great news. For Hong Kong merchants who are looking forward to reunion, Hong Kong businessmen affected by business, and even Hong Kong's tourism and retail industry, they are long droughts.However, in the early days of customs, in the face of turbulent demand, it was like dredging the dammed lake, and it was necessary to deal with it carefully to prevent the dam of the dyke.It is also important to face a number of challenges within Hong Kong. It is very important to do a good job of forward -looking deployment and various plans.
For nearly 3 years, multiple ports in Hong Kong and the Mainland have been closed, and personnel and goods have been greatly affected.Due to the needs of epidemic prevention, both parties have implemented strict testing and isolation on the travelers in and out. So far, only one port of Shenzhen Bay is open between the two places. Passengers entering the Mainland from Hong Kong still need to accept the isolation of "5+3", and they must advance in advance in advance.Book the places of the health station and receive nucleic acid testing.Over the past year, the calls from all walks of life in Hong Kong have been increasingly rising.
Although Li Jiachao's announcement this time is surprising, it is not sudden. The restoration of customs clearance in the two places has recently been found.With the relaxation of internal epidemic prevention restrictions in the Mainland, Shenzhen has also increased the number of health stations from 2,500 to 2,800; before Li Jiachao went to Beijing, it has announced that it will report to the central leaders that Hong Kong citizens' desire for recovery customs clearance;When he listened to his post, Li Keqiang had affirmed his "active response" people and society's concerns. Li Keqiang had more specific requirements. "Relevant parties must grasp communication and coordination and promote the gradual return of Hong Kong and mainland personnel."The resumption of customs clearance between the two places is not only a successful fight for the SAR government, but also a mature and water -to -channel.
In Hong Kong, multiple ports that have been closed for 3 years have recently moved frequently. In the West Kowloon high -speed railway station, there are security, maintenance and cleaning personnel.Employees of the Zhou and West Jiu Station have been recalled in the original positions one after another; the entry department, customs and other departments are reportedly transferred to thousands of personnel, and will return to the West Nine High -speed Railway Station, Luohu, Wenjindu and other immigration ports as soon as this week.It shows that the customs clearance is often "good things are near".
However, the recovery of the human body is often recovered after the first illness, and "the illness goes like a shit."After all, the various port facilities have been stopped for 3 years, and restarting the re -familiarity of personnel requires a process.The three -year closing of customs has accumulated a huge customs clearance demand. If it is fully let go, it will inevitably be confused. Therefore, "full customs clearance" is the ultimate goal. In the early days, there may be some "crowd control control" measures.As Li Jiachao said, to "gradual, orderly and comprehensive customs clearance", and consider multiple elements. Because the initial demand is quite large, citizens want to pass the customs, attract investment, official duties and tourism as soon as possible.In order, the number of daily customs clearance and customs clearance must be considered, and the changes in the epidemic between the two places must be considered to achieve balance.
In the early stage of customs clearance, it should be given priority to meet the needs of family agglomeration, visiting patients, commercial officials and other passengers. As for the needs of tourism and entertainment, it should be considered later.At present, the Mainland epidemic is at the peak of the outbreak, and it is not the best time to travel north.The question is how to do demand management. If you only set up the number of people in the early days, how to ensure the priority to meet the most needed, if you need to provide a certificate of human care category, how to ensure that the data is accurate and not abused.Defense mouth congestion, etc., must be comprehensive consideration.
Therefore, Li Jiachao pointed out that understanding the details of the society's concern, and the principle of gradually orderly and to achieve the ultimate opening up. Important considerations include the number of people to handle the number of people.The consequences you see, so you must fully evaluate the risk and prepare.These words are also expected to manage citizens.
At the same time, all kinds of response must be made within Hong Kong.Clearance is not one -way. While the Hong Kong people can be separated from the Mainland, the Hong Kong tourism community also hopes to attract mainland tourists to travel to Hong Kong to revive the local economy.Learn from the lessons of past experience. In addition to the cooperation of transportation and retail, the expansion of tourist attractions and road spaces must be cooperated.In view of the development of the Mainland epidemic, the large number of tourists in mainland China will cause the shortage of drugs and vaccines in Hong Kong, and whether the public medical system will not be overloaded, and once again stimulate the contradictions between the people of the two places, I am afraid that they must be prepared earlyEssence
According to the time announced by Li Jiachao, from now on to the middle of next month, there will only be only 20 days in the even holiday.In these 20 days, we must discuss a full plan with relevant mainland departments and governments to submit the central approval. The departments involved include the State Health and Health Commission, the Hong Kong and Macao Office, and local governments of Guangdong Province, Shenzhen, and other local governments to discuss the extremely urgent time.For Hong Kong, the restart of the port requires both traffic and quarantine facilities, railways and multiple disciplinary forces, and even the cooperation of private merchants must be fully coordinated to make time.The preparation of mainland tourists in the urban area involves thousands of.Therefore, at the beginning of the sunset of Li Jiachang yesterday, Li Jiachao rushed back to the government headquarters to hold a coordination group meeting. All 15 government policy bureaus participated, not a futrious momentum.Clearance of customs is big, and it has been expected for a long time, but it is imminent, but it is necessary to be careful, carefully prepare, and strengthen publicity.In short, the restoration of normal customs clearance between the two places is a great thing. The relevant parties should be carefully deployed and carefully arranged. Do not do good things into bad things.
