Hong Kong has implemented the “0+3” entry arrangement for one and a half months, and there are continuous voices calling for further relaxation to “0+0”. Lu Wenduan, vice-chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, pointed out that the Hong Kong government has not promoted “0+0” for a long time because it wants to take into account the views of the mainland, so as not to misunderstand that Hong Kong is “completely defenseless”. Chief Executive Lee Ka-chao said that everyone has a different understanding of “0+0”. He made it clear that he would no longer discuss the “zero plus how much” entry policy.
Since the entry restriction was changed to “0+3” on September 26, the daily number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong has not seen a sharp increase or rebound. There are constant opinions from the society that they hope to further relax to “0+0”. Lu Wentuan wrote in a newspaper article that it is understandable to ask for “0+0” mood, but the Hong Kong government has actually removed some restrictions as much as possible under the premise of risk control, describing the current “0+3″ as almost equal to ” 0+0″.
The Hong Kong government’s relaxation of entry restrictions can be used as a reference for the mainland
Lu Wentuan explained that not directly changing to “0+0” involves special considerations, and the most important thing is to take into account the views of the mainland. Otherwise, when it is misunderstood as “completely undefended”, it will be even more difficult for Hong Kong to come up with arrangements to facilitate Hong Kong people entering the mainland. He believes that “dynamic clearing” should not be opposed to the relaxation of entry restrictions, but go hand in hand. He also pointed out that the Hong Kong government’s substantial relaxation of entry restrictions has not only received “strong support” from the central government, but also provided an important reference for the mainland to “try first.”
Before Li Jiachao attended the executive meeting yesterday, he was asked whether the government had abandoned the “0+0” plan. He pointed out that everyone has a different understanding of “0+0”, so he will not describe it as “zero plus how much” and discuss the relevant immigration Epidemic prevention policy. He emphasized that the most important thing at the moment is that Hong Kong has canceled the hotel quarantine requirements, and the overall epidemic prevention policy direction is to minimize restrictive measures under controllable risks. He also responded that Hong Kong has the responsibility to ensure that the risk of the epidemic in the Mainland will not be increased. If a consensus is reached on the “reverse isolation” plan with the Mainland, it can consider increasing the number of places for travel between the two places.
Tian Beichen, a member of the Legislative Council who has been fighting for “0+0”, told the media yesterday that if “0+3” is the bottom line of the central government, he has nothing to say, but he will accept it. , but the number of times is adjustable.
