I said Macau sealed off like mainland to the rest of the world. HK did not.
I mean to the rest of the world, you know, like mainland China did to the rest of the world.
the essence is that unless HK want to seal it from the rest of the world, as Macau does, only open around Mainland, mainland will not open to HK.

HK did not accept non-residents, just like Maco did. As pointed out, Macao was even less restrictive for workers from Guangdong province.
As pointed by other, the big difference with HK, is that Macao has had no infection for several months, while HK did.
One can argue forever why this is the case. But that would be very OT.

The point is not about sealing off from Mainland since we talk about free entry to mainland. It is about how many people from the rest of world can enter Mainland. China has 5-1 to control international arrivals. How many people arrive in Macau daily? How many enters Hong Kong daily?
is it that difficult to see the differences that why mainland does not want Hong Kong to join?

??? The appropriate comparison for foreign aircrew will be PVG, not MFM. Are we more relaxed to foreign aircrew arriving in HKG than SH health commission to foreign aircrew landing in PVG.
And do we have more foreign air movements than PVG?

You have Chinese returnees to PVG and other ports too (is PEK still being restricted to international arrivals?).

HKROA can be taken away if you don't have Chinese nationality* and have been away for 3 years. People may have been away since 2017 and were planning to touch base this year. Now their legal status is in trouble.
* This may soon affect ethnic Chinese emigrants too as soon as the PRC decide to strip anyone "dual" their Chinese nationality as a result of UK BNO scheme and pending HK Bill. Also the NSL has rendered many unwilling/unable to return.

This may be done by changing the 15 May 1996 Explanations https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/resident...inese/law.html , or issuing a new one.

Seems like any hotel ok. You just can’t do it at home.

Actually, it must have an HK hotel license. There are many accommodations at CK Manson with "hotel" in their name that will not qualify.
