Extended information:

The decrease in the number of mainlanders coming to Hong Kong with one-way permits is due to the fact that most mainlanders who are eligible for family reunion have settled in Hong Kong. However, with the narrowing of the economic gap between Hong Kong and the Mainland, the continuous improvement of living standards in the Mainland, and the fact that mainlanders who have moved to Hong Kong may not be able to find jobs in Hong Kong, they may choose to stay in the Mainland rather than move to Hong Kong.

At the same time, after the implementation of individual travel, it is much more convenient for mainlanders to visit Hong Kong or visit relatives than in the past. Chen Zhisi believes that this convenient arrangement has weakened the incentives for mainlanders to move to Hong Kong.

In addition, as the number of people from Hong Kong to the mainland to buy houses, work or retire and settle down is increasing, Chen Zhisi believes that now may be the beginning of the northward migration of Hong Kong population, and Hong Kong will be more integrated with the mainland, which will sound a warning signal for the population structure of Hong Kong.

It is of course unnecessary to review the population policy in real time or set a daily quota of 15, but in the long run, we can expect that after more than 1 years, when the concept of boundary becomes vague and the living standards and institutional management of the Mainland and Hong Kong are getting closer and closer, it will become a trend for Hong Kong people to move to the Mainland, and mainlanders do not want to move to Hong Kong, and the existing system of the government will become outdated.
