Historical inventory of Hong Kong immigrants

In Hong Kong, new immigrants are called "new Hong Kong people", and these people are becoming an important source to supplement Hong Kong's population and talents. People come to Hong Kong to study, work and live with longing for this modern and romantic international metropolis. Let's take a look at the historical inventory of Hong Kong immigrants.

Of course, no city is the land of milk and honey. Hong Kong's unattainable housing prices, narrow living environment and fast-paced working style have made some "new Hong Kong people" finally return to the mainland, and some people have left voluntarily. However, Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, has been attracting the influx of mainlanders, hoping to take root here and eventually integrate into Hong Kong society.

Hong kong immigration history

I was born in Hong Kong before, but now it is difficult to get a Hong Kong identity card even if I spend 10 million yuan. Why has Hong Kong's immigration history changed so much?

Still have to start from the' 70s. Influenced by western values, Hong Kong is far ahead of the mainland in education, law and economy at this time, which also attracts many brave adventurers to flood into Hong Kong. Before 1974, entry into Hong Kong was unrestricted.

1974165438+10, the hong kong government implemented the "base arrival policy". If mainland illegal immigrants can reach the urban areas and get in touch with their relatives in Hong Kong, they can stay in Hong Kong. If intercepted by law enforcement officers at the border, they will be sent back to the mainland. This system was implemented until 1980, and was replaced by the policy of immediate arrest and one-way permit.

2/kloc-0 In the first year of the 20th century, a case of national concern brought about great changes in Hong Kong's immigration policy. At that time, the "Zhuang Fengyuan case" (unknown Baidu) opened the door for mainland pregnant women to go to Hong Kong to give birth. The Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal ruled that China children born in Hong Kong have the right of abode in Hong Kong regardless of whether their parents have settled in Hong Kong or not. In the same year, Hong Kong launched the Admission of Mainland Professionals Scheme.

Two years later, in 2003, the free travel in the mainland of Hong Kong was officially opened, which was remarkable. Not only are more and more mainland villagers going to Hong Kong to eat, drink and have fun, but many mainland pregnant women have also begun to give birth in Hong Kong, and most of their fathers are not Hong Kong residents. These babies are called "double non-children" and "Hong Kong-born generation". As soon as they are born, they have the status of permanent residents in Hong Kong.

At the same time, Hong Kong has revised its population policy, stipulating that new arrivals must have lived in Hong Kong for seven years before they can apply for CSSA and public housing and have the right to vote. It has also launched an entry plan for capital investors, namely Hong Kong investment immigrants.

As more and more mainland pregnant women go to Hong Kong to give birth, from 2007, pregnant women who have been pregnant for more than seven months will be banned from entering the country without an "appointment paper". 20 1 1 In April, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority announced that public hospitals would no longer accept appointments for mainland pregnant women. Then in 20 15, Leung Chun-ying, the chief executive of Hong Kong, delivered the policy address of 20 15, announcing that the implementation of the "Entry Scheme for Capital Investors" would be suspended from 20 15 to 15.

These are the memorabilia in the history of Hong Kong immigrants. As can be seen from the above development process, the threshold for Hong Kong immigrants has gradually increased, and the application conditions have become more and more strict. From open immigration to selective immigration, Hong Kong is undergoing changes according to its own characteristics.
