You may have some doubts about "0+7". This is a policy for overseas entry to Hong Kong. For example, Hong Kong's overseas entry policy is now "3+4", which is actually 3 days of hotel quarantine + 4 days of home quarantine.
Hotel quarantine can be understood by everyone, but this home quarantine is different.
You can go out during home isolation, take public transportation, and go to work and school, but you cannot go to restaurants, bars, pubs, game centers, bathrooms, fitness rooms, beauty salons, party rooms and other public places, and you cannot go to high-risk places such as hospitals and nursing homes.
will be announced as early as this week "0+7" (Photo: Hong Kong Economic Daily)
and "0+7" is directly quarantined at home for 7 days. From this perspective, the restrictions during home isolation will be much smaller and will not affect normal daily life.
So, isn’t this equivalent to Hong Kong’s clearance overseas?
Hong Kong customs clearance is imminent, and now is a good time to apply for Hong Kong identity!
1. Talent urgently needed
The social problems of the aging population in Hong Kong are becoming increasingly serious.

Hong Kong is in urgent need of talents in the fields of financial technology, life and health technology, smart manufacturing, 5G networks, smart cities, etc. For example, network infrastructure engineers, network security engineers , and artificial intelligence (AI) engineers ’s salary increases can reach 15%.
Legal industry: If Hong Kong wants to become an international legal and dispute resolution service center in the Asia-Pacific region, legal talents are a key factor in development.

Environmental Protection Industry: According to media reports, the demand for talent in the environmental protection industry in Hong Kong has increased by 8% year-on-year. The environmental protection industry includes sewage/wastewater treatment experts, waste treatment experts, engineers, environmental science, environmental research, environmental protection engineering and other talents, which are very popular in Hong Kong.
ESG Talent: As an international financial center, Hong Kong has in-depth applications in the development of ESG. When ESG became a "first need" for famous enterprises, this also directly led to the shortage of ESG special talents.

In order to attract talents, Hong Kong has established a talent pool and launched the Hong Kong Outstanding Talents Entry Plan . Since the launch of the Hong Kong Talent Project in 2006, the application quota has gradually increased from 1,000 per year at the beginning to 2,000 per year, and then to 4,000 per year at the present time. This shows that Hong Kong has strongly supported outstanding talents in policy development in Hong Kong, and it is possible that it will increase to 8,000 places in the future.
Secondly, there are also the country's supportive policies for Hong Kong, such as the 14th Five-Year Plan, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area , etc. Hong Kong's development will surely be better every year, and the strength of talent introduction cannot be underestimated. Some time ago, the Hong Kong government also planned to provide cash subsidies and relax immigration requirements to attract financial technology and ESG talents.
