Starry Lee Wai-king, a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's (HKSAR) deputy to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, quoted the General Administration of Customs of China as saying that the cancellation of the "black code," the health declaration procedure for entry and exit in the Chinese mainland from Hong Kong, is in the final approval stage and she is confident that it will be canceled starting from Wednesday, reported Hong Kong media outlets.
Experts say that the full cancellation of the "black code" to achieve zero barrier customs clearance is good news for the general public, convenient for the people of the two regions, and contributes to their demand for economic development.
Lee also mentioned that some elderly people have said that they do not know how to apply for the health declaration code using their mobile phones and hope it will be canceled as soon as possible. She noted that this will facilitate the movement of people between the two regions.
