Not recentlyTwo sessionsHawkers, I mentioned a lot during the periodIssues related to Hong Kong, in addition to the high-profile "Hong Kong version of the national security law", there is anotherIt is closely related to Hong Kong drifting.
I have to mention one person hereYao Zhisheng
He is a Singaporean expatriate who has lived in Hong Kong for decades, in a wayHe is also a "senior port drifter".
The difference is that he is a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the executive vice president of the China Federation of Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs, and the chairman of the Hong Kong Overseas Chinese Association. This time, he participated in the two sessions, and put forward a proposal"Allowing Mainland Persons Legally Obtaining Hong Kong Permanent Identity Cards to Retain Mainland Identity Cards".of proposals.
As the name suggests, this proposal proposes:
Mainlanders are allowed to retain their Mainland identity cards at the same time after they have lawfully obtained their Hong Kong permanent identity cards.
For those who have taken permanent residence in Hong Kong and have given up their Mainland ID cards, they can apply for a replacement of their Mainland ID cards!
The dilemma of the harbor drift
As we all know, Hong Kong drifting can take permanent residence in seven years, and take the one known as the "three stars".Hong Kong Permanent Identity Card.
But after taking Hong Kong permanent residence,How to deal with the Mainland ID card？You can't be both Hong Kong and mainlanders, right?
According to China's Nationality Law, no Chinese citizen is allowed to have dual nationality, and Hong Kong and the mainland belong to ChinaTheoretically, there is no problem in holding both Hong Kong and Mainland identity cards。As for dual household registration, the legal provisions are very vague.
Therefore, after taking permanent residence in Hong Kong, all Hong Kong drifters willFaced with two choices:
Cancellation of Mainland identity card, commonly known as "application".Home Return PermitMainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents.
At this time, you go back to Hong Kong - with your Hong Kong identity card, and you go back to the mainland - with your Home Return Permit.
But!The cancellation of the mainland identity card also meansYou don't have a mainland identity, which will cause a lot of inconvenience.
For example, if the social security and medical insurance in the mainland are gone, your real estate, driver's license, and bank account information in the mainland in the past must all be re-processed and updated. Even if you take the high-speed rail, it can't be as convenient as swiping your ID card to enter the gate before.
Of course, what I am most afraid of is that if one day you want to go back to the mainland to develop, then you areThose who cannot give up their Hong Kong identity and then get back their mainland status.
So most of them will choose the second way:
2.Mainland identity cards will not be cancelled, do not apply for a "Home Return Permit".
At this time, you go back to Hong Kong - with your Hong Kong identity card, but go back to the mainlandA stay visa can no longer be used(The Hong Kong Immigration Department no longer issues red visa labels, and naturally cannot apply for a stay visa in the mainland).You can only choose other endorsements, such as business visas and tourist visas...I have to renew it every 7 days, which is quite troublesome!
In short, I finally survived the seven-year permanent residence threshold, and finally made up my mind to win the Hong Kong identity, but I had to face it again"Whether to renounce the Mainland status".The painful choice.
Moreover,No matter how Hong Kong drift is chosen, it is not satisfactory. According to Yao Zhisheng, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) who made the proposal, retaining the status of the mainland means that he can continue to invest and work in the mainland as a mainland resident, and enjoy social security, medical insurance, house purchase, and children's education in accordance with regulations. Yes, things in the mainland can be handled smoothly, but Ben Shuai thinks that it is more important to let all Hong Kong driftThere is no burden and no worriesHong Kong struggles and takes root
For example, if you get a permanent resident of Hong Kong, you can live in Hong Kong more peacefully: first of all, you will definitely buy a house in Hong Kong, and your children can also study and receive education in Hong Kong. You can also be happy to work and devote all your youth and enthusiasm to the development and construction of Hong Kong.
At the same time, the port drift also ownedAdmitted to the Hong Kong Civil ServiceYou can join ** to serve Hong Kong and contribute to the development of Hong Kong.
You can alsoBecome a voterto cast a crucial vote in the Legislative Council and District Councils.
In short, Hong Kong identity can help Hong Kong drift better integrate into Hong Kong and participate in Hong Kong, and the mainland identity allows Hong Kong drift not to be out of touch with the mainland and maintain full ties with the mainland.
Even if you drift in Hong Kong one dayI want to go back to the mainland to develop, and there are no constraints and inconveniences!
