Epidemic prevention measures strictly have a record of their population in Hong Kong

As Hong Kong maintains strict epidemic prevention measures, many citizens have chosen to leave, and their population records have fallen.

According to Bloomberg, the data released by the Hong Kong government on Thursday shows that the Hong Kong population has decreased by 12,1500 in the year of June 30, a total of about 7.29 million.This means that the local population has decreased by 1.6%year -on -year, not only for the third consecutive year, but also the highest in the past 60 years.The Hong Kong National Security Law may also be a promotion factor.

Government spokesman said in the report that "under the continuous influence of coronary virus disease in 2019, Hong Kong and the Mainland and other areas of the world have implemented severe gateway control and quarantine measures.And the number of people who move into Hong Kong continues to be at a low level.

The large -scale immigration tide from mainland China promotes the expansion of the Hong Kong population after World War II.Since 1961, the local population has only declined several times.For example, the local population shrank by 0.2%when the Shatz epidemic broke out from 2002 to 2003 and the people protested the "23" legislation.
