The busiest land port at Shenzhen Bay Remain Wide Open

On January 24, before any "governmental restrictions" was imposed at selected checkpoints between Hong Kong and China, a total of 100,000 inbound and outbound passengers were recorded.

With the imcomplete closure of Hong Kong-China borders on January 31, inbound and outbound passengers, however, jumped to 120,000.

Under the pressure of the public, four more ports at Lo Wu, Lok Ma Chau, Huanggang and Hong Kong and Macau Ferry Terminals are closed starting from Feb 4. Nevertheless, Shenzhen Bay, being a land port with the largest number of Chinese visitors entering Hong Kong on Feb 2, remains open and connected to China, together with the Hong Kong International Airport and HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge link.

Meanwhile, Shenzhen has confirmed 245 cases of Wuhan pneumonia, of which 50 cases were reported from close to the Shenzhen Bay port area.

China Resumes Application of Two-way Permit to from Shenzhen to Hong Kong Despite Wuhan Pneumonia Outbreak

Editor’s Note: The Shenzhen authorities were considerate enough to minimise contact among citizens during application; yet are they considerate enough to Hong Kong people and minimize the possibility of spreading the epidemic to Hong Kong again and again? Why are they doing this?

Rumors flies of Chinese city residents facing difficulties withdrawing money from banks

After banks in rural areas in Henan were suspected of financial improprieties, rumors had been spreading online of bank account holders in multiple prefectural cities and municipalities in China being faced with difficulties when withdrawing money from their bank accounts.

Some bank account holders were even only informed of the ¥1000 RMB daily withdrawal limit when they arrived at their bank.

Affected cities seemed to include #Shenzhen, #Shanghai, #Dandong and #Foshan, among others. Videos had emerged online of elderly people lining up outside the bank waiting to withdraw their money in Shanghai. However, as only 40 people could withdraw their money per day, some elderly people began lining up since two in the morning.

Lines were present outside many banks in affected cities such as Dandong, where customers lined up before the bank opened, and still could not withdraw their money by afternoon. Residents at Dandong claim that this situation had been going on for several weeks, with no signs of improving.
