Taiwan
On the steps
In June 2019, the anti -repair social struggle broke out in June 2019. Beijing issued the National Security Law the following year, triggering the largest immigration wave after Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, The "transfer" Hong Kong people who moved to Taiwan have reached a record high, but by last year, it was obviously ebb.Lianhe Zaobao interviewed cases and index characters, and learned about the reason from immigrant consultants, scholars and the MAC.
After the number of people moved to Taiwan, the number of people moved to Taiwan. After reaching the historical peak of 11,173 people in 2021, it decreased by 20 % last year, shrinking to 8,945, of which only 1296 were obtained.
If the camera is pulled far, only 4,148 Hong Kong people moved to Taiwan in 2018. In 2019, anti -repair cases broke out in Hong Kong, and then Hong Kong people who immigrated to Taiwan doubled.From 2019 to 2022, a total of 36,789 Hong Kong people went to Taiwan, with an average of 9,197.
This is just a miniature of the Hong Kong people's immigration.According to the statistics of the Hong Kong Government, the population of Hong Kong reached 7.524,100 in 2019. By the end of 2022, there were only 7.333300, which was 190,900 less.If you calculate those who are currently in the UK, Australia, Canada, and the United States, those who apply for identity cards and apply for identity cards are generally estimated to be as much as 2.3 million in Hong Kong.Some experts estimate that the European and American outbreaks have been stable today, and there will be 14,50,000 Hong Kong immigrants in the next five years.
The same type of text in Taiwan and Hong Kong is close to the Chinese areas where the most immigrants are immigrated to Hong Kong.
Immigration consultants, scholars, and Hong Kong people who moved to Taiwan told the United Morning Post that it was the main reason for Hong Kong people to "turn" to the main reason.
Only about 2 % get an ID card
Immigration consultants who have exposed their names are estimated that the success rate of Hong Kong people applied for a residence permit in Taiwan in the past three years is as high as 95 %, but only about 2 % have obtained ID cards.The interviewed Hong Kong people also said that the Hong Kong people they knew in Taiwan were "no success", full of disappointment, helplessness, and even anger.

Many Hong Kong people say that when they apply for an application, they will ask the official licenses to take professional certificates, or make technical delay through supplementary documents.
The above -mentioned immigration consultants said that the key is that there are too many opaque bureaucratic culture and doubts about the festival, national security doubts, and even the unclear ectopic and conservative mentality.
He said that the Immigration Department, the Mainland Council (Mainland Council) and the National Security Council have a monthly meeting to apply for a case of Hong Kong people who apply for ID cards.Hearing), a total of "four elders" review.
"Many cases have rejected the settlement application because they have worked at the landlord company and have been identified as a national security concern. The official delaying investment immigration to obtain ID cards also includes requiring the company's financial documents in the next year, which is equivalent to asking others in disguise.The "Immigration Supervision" that takes more year. This not only makes Hong Kong people unable to file an administrative appeal, but also allows the official control to issue the number of ID cards. Can Hong Kong people get angry? "
The MAC email responded to the United Morning Post inquiries that due to changes in the Hong Kong situation, the number of people who moved from 2019 to 2021 showed a growth trend.The review meeting held by the competent authority was "held once a month in principle, but it will be adjusted by elasticity of the case." It is emphasized that "as long as the doubts of the country have no national security, they will be permitted."As for investment immigration involving professional inspections, most cases have been prepared due to the incomplete documents, which affects the review period.
The MAC also said that some Taiwanese believe that the "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong has gradually eroded and has been infiltrated and controlled by the CCP.Repairing planning.
The MAC pointed out that the Immigration Department has repeatedly discovered that Hong Kong people have withdrawn from capital and suspend business after obtaining their ID cards. They also found that there is still no resignation in Hong Kong.Elephants have violated the original intention and expected benefits of my investment immigration policy, and some cases are temporarily retained observation. "
The MAC emphasized that the official has continued to review and revise regulations. Elite, key talents, and students in various fields of Hong Kong are welcome to develop, residence and settlement in Taiwan.

Lin Rongji can change the Taiwanese this year
Lin Rongji (67 years old), an indicator of exile in Taiwan, has not obtained an ID card for four years in Taiwan, hoping to become a Taiwanese at the end of this year.
Lin Rongji founded the Causeway Bay Bookstore in Hong Kong in 1994. In 2015, he was arrested when he passed the Luohu Port in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, and he lost his freedom for eight months.He moved to Taiwan in April 2019, and a year later, he created Causeway Bay Bookstore through crowdfunding of NT $ 6 million (about S $ 28,200).Taiwan Tsai Ing -wen visited the bookstore to take a photo with him, and left a message on the "Lian Nong Wall" on the bookshelf "the freedom to support Hong Kong in Hong Kong".
He revealed that he was interviewed by Lianhe Morning Post that he came to Taiwan in the name of sightseeing, and then obtained the right to residence through work and updated every two years.At the beginning of last year, the Immigration Department officials came to contact, saying that he would help him apply for an ID card through a professional immigration and ask him how to contribute Taiwanese society in the future in the future.

Scholars: Immigration of Taiwan's Risk Risk
Scholars of interviewees pointed out that there is no immigration policy in Taiwan, only immigration regulations and administration, and the risk of immigration must be too much thought.
Su Weiye, a professor at the Department of Public Administration of Politburo in Taiwan, said in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that Taiwan does not have a complete policy for attracting immigrants. The Immigration Department is only an unit under the enforcement of regulations under the Ministry of the Interior and has no decision -making power.
Su Weiye, from Hong Kong, who moved to Taiwan for 20 years, said that Taiwan separates the right to residence from work and obtains a residence permit.
He said that in the past ten years, Hong Kong people have been approved for settlement in one or two weeks for a year or two.Nowadays, the rules of the game often do not make it clear. After one year after many Hong Kong people come to Taiwan, the Immigration Department has only set up new conditions for "moving Longmen". It is no wonder that Hong Kong people are unhappy and dissatisfied with people to rule the rule of law.
Su Weiye pointed out that in order to complete the case before the deadline, the Taiwan Immigration Department often uses national security suspicion to deduct the application of ID cards, or requires the provision of a good civil card delay time."Many Hong Kong people have escaped because of the National Security Law.
He said that many Hong Kong people used to think that the Taiwan government was in Hong Kong. After experiencing all this, it has changed from good feelings.

A female professor of university female professors who immigrated to Taiwan for 20 years and unknown from Hong Kong told the Morning Post that she knew more than 20 Hong Kong immigration cases. After 2019, no one successfully obtained an ID card.fail.
She believes that Taiwan's handling of immigrants in Hong Kong may also have election considerations. They are worried that Hong Kong people are relatively blue, and they will be unfavorable to the DPP government when voting. At the same time, they also consider that Hong Kong people are fluent in English and worry that Taiwanese will be robbed of rice bowls., Caused local voters to rebound.
She said: "I often encourage the overseas Chinese students in the class, hoping that they can perform academically and prove that they are talents and elites, so as to make Taiwanese people change to Hong Kong people."
Unknown immigration consultants believe that the DPP government does not really want Hong Kong people to immigrate Taiwan."Maybe they think that Hong Kong people love to express their opinions. It is difficult to do Diaomin. Worried that the number of people is more hindered to the government."
He bluntly said: "I have persuaded customers not to rush to apply for settlement recently. It is better to wait for the ruling party before applying. Because the president will be selected soon, it may be faster to change your head."
