China News Service, Hong Kong, March 20 (Reporter Dai Xiaoxian and Zheng Jiawei) The China Entry and Exit Administration announced on the 20th that it will issue temporary passes to mainland China (Mainland) to residents in need from the same day, and provide "double certificate association" verification services for traveling between mainland China (Mainland) and residence permits. All sectors of Hong Kong and Macao welcomed this and highly praised the relevant measures.

Li Huiqiong, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said that as Hong Kong and the Mainland become increasingly close, more and more Hong Kong people travel, work, live and live in the Mainland. The two new arrangements launched this time greatly improve the convenience of Hong Kong people working, living and traveling in the mainland.

Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Legislative Council member and chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions Huang Guo also expressed recognition of the new measures. He said that the two arrangements fully demonstrate the advantages of the Mainland in making good use of e-government, and through technological empowerment, we will continue to innovate entry and exit management services, effectively solve practical and difficult problems, and continuously provide convenience for Hong Kong people to live, find employment, study, and live in the mainland.

Ye Guiping, vice president of City University of Macau, said that this measure can quickly resolve the problem of "difficulty in travel" caused by the loss of documents or forgot to carry them. It can be said that the new policy promotes "big integration" with "small documents" is a move that is convenient for the people.

Zhang Jianzhong, a member of the Legislative Council of the Macao Special Administrative Region and president of the Macau Tourism Development Think Tank, said that the new policy significantly shortens the processing time of paper certificates through digital means, providing "instant guarantee" for cross-border business travel, family visits, etc. He believes that these measures reflect the central government's accurate response to the needs of Hong Kong and Macao residents, facilitate Macau residents to live and find employment and start businesses, and help promote regional integration to a higher level.

Macau Special Administrative Region Legislative Council member Li Liangwang said that the new policy not only saves time on site to apply for documents, but also reflects the convenience and speed of online documents in the digital era, and also shows the country's attention to the living, employment and study and travel of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents in the mainland.

As a businessman who often travels between Hong Kong and the Mainland, Hong Kong citizen Chen Hao has a deep understanding of the convenience of the new policy. He said that if you forget to bring your ID in the past, it would be very troublesome to go to the mainland to do business and would take a lot of time to re-issue it. Now there is an electronic temporary pass, which will be very convenient. (End)
