As I said, I am not commenting on "leaving HK". or "going to Mainland". My post was about comparing the difference between 7-day quarantine versus 3+4 newly relaxed requirements.
I cannot comment on getting PRC visa from HK. All I know is that it is not business as usual as before Covid when getting PRC visa in HK was pretthy easy. All I know is most of my local HK colleguages are having difficutlies entering China. Foreign passport holders (non-HK residents) even more challenging, but I have no data point to share other than hearing stories told by my local HK colleagues.
I would suggest you call CITS HK directly and understand the current entry policy for China before deciding whether to make the trip to HK. I hope all work out for you.
