Beijing Loyalist Criticises the Hong Kong Government for Lacking Proactiveness in Acquiring China-made Vaccines

Lo Chung-mau, Chief Executive of University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital, was vaccinated by China-owned Sinopharm in Shenzhen. Lo stated in an interview that instead of waiting for the 3rd phase clinical data for Sinovacā€™s vaccines, the Hong Kong government should seek the data from Sinpopharm or the National Medical Products Administration of China. Lo claimed that the Hong Kong government was passive and only ā€œsitting and waitingā€, instead of ā€œstriking outā€.

In her response in the afternoon, Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan stated that all government bureaus were performing different tasks. On the one hand, the Hong Kong government has been contacting other countries and medicine manufacturers, to negotiate the logistics, clinical data and the acquisition of vaccines, in order to speed up the importation of vaccines to Hong Kong. On the other hand, through internal communication, the Hong Kong government has to keep in touch with medical teams and hospitals and discuss the arrangements of vaccinations for the public. once they were available in Hong Kong.

Moreover, Chan said the Scientific Committees under the Centre for Health and Protection in Hong Kong would be responsible for scheduling the vaccination and monitoring post- vaccination conditions.

The Advisory Panel on COVID-19 Vaccines would take up the task of approving any emergent use of vaccines. Chan stressed that the Hong Kong government was not ā€œjust sitting there and waitā€.

HK Authorities Propose Real Name Registration and #HealthCode System like China's

Hong Kong's Secretary for Heath #LoChungMau said on July 11, 2022 that the government had plans to introduce a three-colour ā€˜health codeā€™ system in the city, bringing the app in line with China's system.

It would be an additional function to #LeaveHomeSafe, the government's COVID contact-tracing app. Lo mentioned that reference was sought from the health code systems used China. He also claimed that it was important to implement real name registration.

[Editor's note: Since the LeaveHomeSafe app has been made compulsory by the authorities in Hong Kong, many citizens expressed concerns over its privacy issues. The health code system in China has been long regarded as a #MassSurveillance campaign of the #ChineseCommunistParty government.]
