was denied entry to Hong Kong due to expired ID card

According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency", Zhang Tiezhi went to Hong Kong in his personal name to attend the "Four Cities Forum" held in succession by Taipei, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

However, after this inspection, he was told that it had expired in April this year and had not renewed, so he was denied entry.
In addition, another certificate that can assist Taiwanese residents in entering Hong Kong is a Taiwanese compatriot certificate issued by Entry and Exit Administration of the Ministry of Public Security and Exit Administration. However, according to Hong Kong media reports, Zhang Tiezhi did not bring a certificate from Taiwan compatriots.

Hong Kong media reported that Zhang Tiezhi responded to this: "I don't know the reason, and I don't guess randomly. It's meaningless. I shouldn't come to Hong Kong again in the short term, and I'll talk about it later if I need it."

The netizen said: "Public intellectuals have the responsibility to clarify the problem." "If I were you, I would not randomly speculate whether I was under political censorship. And I would enter the country with a valid Taiwan compatriot certificate. If I am indeed denied entry again, I would publicly disclose my doubts and request a reasonable explanation. I think this is the truth-seeking attitude that public intellectuals should have. Not randomly speculate."
According to the Observer Network's regulations, people born in Taiwan or coming to Hong Kong as a Taiwanese resident must apply for "pre-entry registration for Taiwan residents". After entering the required information online, the computer system will automatically process the relevant registration, and the registrant will learn about the results in real time. The registrant only needs to print the "registration" on A4 paper and present it when entering Hong Kong. This pre-order arrangement, referred to as "Hong Kong visa", is allowed to be processed after arriving in Hong Kong.

But in the applicant's qualification precautions, this pre-entry registration does not apply to Hong Kong permanent residents who enjoy the right to reside in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or Hong Kong residents who have the right to enter the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Zhang Tiezhi's Hong Kong resident ID card has expired and has not been reapplied. Whether the system has conflicts in its identity identification and the registration is unsuccessful, it is necessary to ask the Hong Kong Immigration Department to obtain the results, but Zhang Chengzhi did not further verify.
Mainland Affairs Council took the opportunity to hype
00 Taiwan authorities' Mainland Affairs Council immediately took the opportunity to respond on the evening of the 6th that the Mainland Affairs Council has expressed dissatisfaction and protested to the Hong Kong SAR government many times and urged them to improve.
