Hong Kong Officials Increase Tobacco Inspections

RTHK Radio 3 HK Hong Kong 14d11d Impact 5

A business and professional lawmaker stated that the current daily quota of 100 vehicles traveling from Guangdong to Hong Kong is too low. The current limit is set at 100 cars, according to the source. This follows the implementation of an e-cigarette possession ban in Hong Kong. Lawmaker Aaron Bock has urged the government to significantly expand the daily quota for southbound vehicles traveling from Guangdong to Hong Kong. The request comes as authorities consider legislative means to reclaim units at Wang Chi House if homeowners refuse government buyout offers. Bock stated the current limit of 100 cars under the Southbound travel scheme is too low. Bock expressed belief that the government will take gradual steps regarding this expansion. The Transport Department received approximately 6,300 applications for cross-border driving from qualified Guangdong private cars as of late March.
