Early nBSP; Hong Kong and Macao Sudden Search
Meng Wanzhou, a child and chief financial officer in China, was suddenly arrested in Canada, which has recently made a slightly calm Sino -US relations.The court documents revealed that Meng Wanzhou held many Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passports, and also caused another controversial topic in Hong Kong: Does Meng Wanzhou have privileges?
Because Meng Wanzhou himself still cannot explain to the outside world, it is not advisable to easily conclude at this moment.But in my impression, mainland Chinese celebrities, which have a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport in recent years, are indeed not a small number of Chinese celebrities.In addition to the acting stars such as Langlang, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Wei, Tang Wei, the second generation of mainland officials was also revealed by the media that it had already become a permanent resident in Hong Kong.
For these mainland politicians and businessmen, what are the charm of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport?
According to the reason, after Hong Kong returned to mainland China in 1997, Hong Kong people should go abroad with Chinese passports like mainland residents.However, in accordance with the principles of one country, two systems, the Chinese government continues to maintain Hong Kong's capitalist system and lifestyle, and authorized the Hong Kong government to issue Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passports different from Chinese passports to Hong Kong government.
I have to say that this policy has given Hong Kong the advantage of the mainland.A number of surveys show that the Hong Kong SAR passport is more convenient than Chinese passports. For example, the 2018 passport index released by an international financial advisory company earlier showed that the Hong Kong SAR passport was ranked globally13th.On the contrary, Chinese passports can only be ranked 58th with 28 visa -free and 47 -land visa areas or countries.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport is at the forefront of ranking, which means that Hong Kong people holding the SAR passport have traveled or travel in many countries. They do not have to rush to queue up in and out of the country with the mainland, nor apply for visas, saving money and saving time.Therefore, many mainland celebrities choose to become Hong Kong people and receive a special zone passport to find convenient behavior in travel and business, and it is not difficult to understand.
I also have a deep understanding of this.As early as seven or eight years ago, a color revolution occurred in Central Asia. A friend of a national media in mainland China asked me to dinner.When the wine was hot, he suddenly asked me: How much money can an experienced journalist get in Hong Kong?
According to what I know, I should have 50,000 to 60,000 Hong Kong dollars; if the newspaper, I am afraid that some people will do it at HK $ 20,000 to Hong Kong dollars.At the end of the dinner, my friend explained the intention: If we invite you to be a special agent in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and also in charge of Central Asian affairs. As soon as there are major events in the local area, you will send you an interview.I wonder what you want?
The salary proposed by my friend at the time was very attractive. Unfortunately, I was at ease and declined the invitation.
After a lapse of one or two years, Libya's political situation in the Middle East became more tense.For a period of time, government forces and oppositions often fired in the capital Ripoli. A hotel where a large number of foreign journalists stayed unfortunately became a fire battlefield.
I suddenly saw from the TV screen that one of the China Central Television reporters trapped in the hotel was originally a expert who had been a Hong Kong paper media before.After hearing that he was transferred to Hong Kong TV station, he thought that he had transferred to CCTV again. It should be the first CCTV journalist from Hong Kong.
Later, I thought about it, the level of Mandarin, a Hong Kong reporter,, especially the reporter, is very general. Why can it be favored by the mainland national media?An important reason may be related to the special zone passport.The Hong Kong SAR passport is almost in the world. A major news incident occurred in foreign countries. Hong Kong reporters can start interviews at any time.Change to a mainland reporter, apply for a visa, and then rush to the scene. I am afraid that the incident is already a yellow flower tomorrow.This also makes Hong Kong reporters running international news than mainland reporters.
Hong Kong has returned to mainland China for 21 years, and Beijing has emphasized that one country, two systems are the most in line with the interests of Hong Kong people.In fact, the SAR passport is a living example of Hong Kong people who enjoy many benefits under one country and two systems, so that Hong Kong people can take advantage of the Chinese mainland and foreign countries.
Unfortunately, China's national strength has been increasing in recent years, and Hong Kong's role as a window for the mainland has gradually faded; and Hong Kong has also used Hong Kong autonomy to fight against China, making one country, two systems more and more unsustainable.This time, Meng Wanzhou may be reminded that Hong Kong people can still have unique advantages in Hong Kong!
