(Observer Network) The Hong Kong National Security Law is about to be issued, and Hong Kong rioters have recently explored their escape routes, including smuggling from sea to Taiwan. However, under the airtight defense of the Special Administrative Region's water police, some Hong Kong rioters failed to escape three times, and the smuggling fee also increased to 500,000 to 1 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately RMB 913,000).
Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao reported on the 25th that a ship owner revealed that he had frequently received inquiries from smuggled to Taiwan in recent days. The reporter found that Sai Kung, Aberdeen Hong Kong, and Shau Kei Wan docks have become hot spots for smuggling on boarding ships. After the smugglers arrive at the high seas, they will be carried to Taiwan by barge.
reported that one year since the black violence broke out in June last year, the police have announced that nearly 9,000 people have been arrested, of which about 200 thugs have been exiled to Taiwan. Sources revealed that many Hong Kong rioters were asked to hand over their travel documents after being prosecuted by the police, so it was no longer possible to take a plane to flee to Taiwan, and the risk was high by land, so water smuggling has become the preferred route for a group of Hong Kong rioters.
, who has been operating fishing boats for more than 30 years, revealed, "Many boat owners have received calls to ask how much the charge is for the South China Sea (high seas) from Sai Kung, Tai O , Aberdeen, Shau Kei Wan and Lei Yue Mun. The charter fee is about 20,000 yuan. Once someone called me to inquire about how much it costs to go to Taiwan the fastest way. I offered 250,000 Hong Kong dollars (about 228,000 yuan) and cash payment. I didn't care at first, but someone called me again this month and asked me when I could drive the boat as soon as possible."
Ge Ge said that he is almost "collapse" and no longer arranges smuggling. "I thought the price of 250,000 will scare the other party, but I heard from other boatmen that the market price is at least 300,000 (about 273,000 yuan). Because the promulgation and implementation of the National Security Law in the Port Area is imminent, many people have to avoid it. It is really a price and a market!"

Another boatman, Brother Qiang, also revealed that the smuggling fee has always been the price of seafood, but the closer it is to the introduction of the National Security Law, the higher the price of snakeheads. "It's famous, and you can offer a price of one million!" Recently, the police have obtained intelligence, a squad of black and violent agents planning to abscond, and have strengthened maritime patrols and interception. Therefore, they do not choose to smuggle in the dark, early morning, etc., and instead abscond during the daytime period with busy sea traffic, which is convenient for concealment.
Ke Ge admitted that under the riots and the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the economy is poor, and some ship owners will take risks and do some smuggling and smuggling. "If you want to charter a boat, if you are still a celebrity, you will have to at least 500,000 per person, but we will ask them to bring fishing gear. When the police find out, they say they are going to fish!"
He also said that fishing boats and fishing boats are the first choice. Every day, at public terminals such as Aberdeen, Shau Kei Wan, Sai Kung, Li Yu Mun, Tai O, etc., there are many fishermen taking fishing boats to sea, traveling to and from the South China Sea (high seas) and the waters near the South China Sea oil fields, without passing the customs checking documents. Even if the water police see these fishing boats, they usually do not intercept them, so the fugitive pretends to be fishermen and get into it, which is not easy to detect. The boat takes 36 hours to travel from Hong Kong waters to Taiwan, while the speedboat takes 18 hours.
After several intermediaries, a reporter from the Ta Kung Pao successfully contacted a snakehead Ahao by phone. Ah Hao offers two routes to choose from. One water route is the preferred way to smuggle and smuggle. You can choose from Long Guzhou, Shazhou, Western waters, and Sandai waters, which are less than one nautical mile from Hong Kong's water boundary. You can leave the Hong Kong waters in just a few minutes by speedboat. Ah Hao provides another smuggling route by sea and land. It is from Sai Kung Huangshi Pier to Huiyang Aotou (near Daya Bay), then charter a car from Aotou to Xiamen , and then take a fishing boat to Kinmen to enter Taiwan's waters. However, this water and land line needs to enter the mainland and then go to Taiwan, which is very unsafe.
Ah Hao said that most people would take a fishing boat out of the high seas, then take another shuttle on the high seas, and then take a Taiwanese fishing boat, and take a Taiwanese fishing boat to Kaohsiung , Tainan, Taichung and other safe havens. "The law enforcement officers checked fewer fishing boats, but they entered the country by yachts, and most of them were intercepted." As for the smuggling fee, Ah Hao offered HK$300,000. He said that one of them had to collect tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a month ago, but recently the Hong Kong National Security Law was issued, and the risk of being intercepted by the police increased. "Two weeks ago, a customer could not even leave for the third time. When he saw the water police, he turned around and left immediately."
is worth mentioning. It is extremely difficult for the "Hong Kong independence" leader Jimmy Lai, who has repeatedly applied for bail to leave Hong Kong but was rejected, to escape at present. Sources revealed that because Jimmy Lai is too "famous" and has high risks, "even if he pays tens of millions of yuan in smuggling fees, he does not have the 'snake head' to do his business."
