Since January 8, the normal exchanges between mainland and Hong Kong personnel have been resumed in a phased and orderly manner at several ports between the mainland and Hong Kong. After three years, these ports finally reappeared the bustling scene of crowds. The central government, a major measure to scientifically coordinate epidemic prevention and control and social and economic development, and precisely adjust epidemic prevention and control policies, has responded to the expectations and voices of the public in a timely manner. Hong Kong citizens and SAR government officials said that it was "a precious New Year gift". The resumption of normal customs clearance between Hong Kong and the mainland has long been expected. Not long ago, the word "Tong" was elected as the "Hong Kong Character of the Year" in 2022, which reflects this mood. In recent days, the media have recorded many smiling faces, happy words, and touching scenes of family members crying for joy and lovers embracing each other affectionately at Shenzhen-Hong Kong Port. In just two days, the number of tourist endorsements from Shenzhen to Hong Kong has increased sharply. After more than a week of waiting for Guangzhou to sign for Hong Kong, the eight registration points in Zhuhai have been "approximately full" within two weeks. The haze of the past epidemic has been swept away, and the demand for close contact between Hong Kong and the mainland has been released in an instant. People feel the value of normalization and are full of vision for the future. The resumption of normal customs clearance between Hong Kong and the mainland will have immediate effect on accelerating the recovery of Hong Kong's economy, especially in industries closely related to people's livelihood and employment. Hong Kong's tourism, retail and other industries have been at a low ebb due to the epidemic for three years. According to the survey results released by the Hong Kong Tourism Council in October 2022, 76% of the staff of travel agencies fell to less than 5. The total value of retail sales in Hong Kong in November 2018 was about HK $39.2 billion, which was nearly HK $10 billion less than that in November 2022. It can be predicted that with the increase of mainland tourists to Hong Kong, the long-lost crowds are expected to reappear in the streets of Hong Kong in a relatively short time, and hotels, restaurants, shops and scenic spots will also welcome back the flow of tourists. The resumption of normal customs clearance between Hong Kong and the mainland will play a positive role in enhancing Hong Kong's development momentum, accelerating its participation in the construction of the Great Bay Area and integrating into the overall development of the country. The coordinated development of the cities in the Greater Bay Area can not be separated from "hard connection", "soft connection" and "heart connection". Without smooth personnel exchanges, "connection" is also impossible. After the resumption of comprehensive and in-depth interactive exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland, more Hong Kong people, especially young people, will have the opportunity to turn their eyes to the mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area, seize the opportunities for entrepreneurship and employment in the mainland, and the cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong in a wider range, deeper level and higher level will also gradually expand. It should be said that from the central government to the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to the people, they all have the same urgency to resume normal exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong as soon as possible. The rapid realization of the orderly resumption of customs clearance is also the result of the full support of the central government and the concerted efforts of all parties. At the end of last year, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region established the "Customs Clearance Coordination Group" to comprehensively promote the resumption of customs clearance. The Chief Secretary for Administration, Chen Guoji, who is also the leader of the "Customs Clearance Coordination Group", said in an interview that the first stage of the customs clearance arrangement was fully supported by the central government, Guangdong Province and Shenzhen Municipal Government. We all responded to Hong Kong's demands and quickly finalized the plan, highlighting the central government's determination to play the role of relying on the motherland and connecting with the world. In the first phase of the resumption of customs clearance between Hong Kong and the mainland, Hong Kong and the mainland every day
