Mixed reactions to expansion of labour import scheme
Mixed reactions to expansion of labour import scheme A unionist said local technicians are worried too many imported workers will come to Hong Kong. File photo: RTHK A trade unionist on Monday said the government should make adjustments to an expanded labour import scheme to ensure local people get priority for jobs, while others welcomed the prospect of more skilled workers moving to the SAR. A three-year trial scheme covering eight types of workers including nurses, lift technicians and AI specialists will start at the end of this month. A total of 10,000 non-degree holders will be able to move to the territory for work, with a cap of 3,000 for each job type. A vice chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, Lam Wai-kong, said on an RTHK programme that some people are concerned about their jobs as they think 3,000 is too much. "I think that each role's quota should be set at a certain percentage of local workers in that particular field," Lam said. "The quota should be set at less than five percent of the roles' workforce, say, for lift and escalator technicians, that would be around several hundred workers, and existing technicians wouldn't be too worried." Lam also expressed concern that incoming nurses wouldn't fill a shortage at care homes for the elderly because they might switch to medical roles elsewhere after a while. The Labour Advisory Board member went on to say that officials consulted the board around 10 days before last week's announcement of the trial scheme and not a lot of unions were able to take part in the process. On the same programme, the head of an aviation business chamber welcomed the scheme's expansion as it covers aircraft maintenance workers. Vivian Lau, president of the Airline Service Providers Association, said while some 600 workers have been imported in the sector in recent years, there remains a shortage with language ability one of the considerations for new staff. She expressed the hope that the scheme will attract technicians from Southeast Asian countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines. "We hope to fill not just today's demand, but to expand the workforce and improve the level of competency for technicians," Lau said. "Then we can snatch business away from other nearby airports." For her part, the life honorary chair of the Elderly Services Association, Grace Li, called on officials to simplify application procedures for importing nurses.

New director of Beijing's top organ in Hong Kong visits neighbourhoods on third day of office
Zhou Ji, the new director of Beijing's top organ in Hong Kong, visited Sham Shui Po and Tsing Yi on his third day in office, saying his new appointment reflected the 'deep trust' placed in him by China's president Xi Jinping. Zhou said in a statement released by the central government's liaison office on Sunday that he hoped to understand Hong Kong's 'community work' and 'people's livelihoods' through his first district visit. The top official went to a women's services centre run by a pro-Beijing group in Sham Shui Po's Fu Cheong Estate. He also visited a community hall in Cheung Hang Estate in Tsing Yi. Zhou, 61, succeeded Zheng Yanxiong as head of the central government's liaison office in Hong Kong, according to a brief statement on Friday. Zhou was formerly the executive deputy director of the State Council's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office. His predecessor, Zheng, had headed the liaison office since January 2023, three years after becoming the director of the central government's Office for Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong. Born in China's Hubei province, Zhou graduated from Huazhong University with a master's degree in electronic and communication engineering, according to Chinese media outlets. Zhou rose through local government ranks first in Hubei province and later in Henan province. He said in the Sunday statement that he had seen Hong Kong's transition 'from governance to prosperity' while working as the executive deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macau affairs office, adding that the city had 'enhanced district governance.' 'It is a privilege to work at the liaison office, which reflects the deep trust placed in me by General Secretary Xi Jinping and the Central Committee of the Party,' Zhou said in the Chinese statement. 'I fully understand the weight of my responsibilities and will ensure the comprehensive, accurate, and unwavering implementation of the 'One Country, Two Systems' policy and the principle of 'patriots governing Hong Kong,'' he said. Plans to overhaul the District Council elections were unveiled in May 2023 to ensure only 'patriots' were elected, following a pro-democracy landslide at the last polls in 2019. The number of seats chosen democratically by the public were slashed from 452 to 88 – reducing the power of public votes to a fifth. The rest are to be chosen by the city's leader and government-appointed committees. Constituency boundaries were redrawn, the opposition were shut out, voting hours were slashed by an hour, and each local council is to be chaired by a government official, similar to colonial-era arrangements. All candidates undergo national security vetting to ensure patriotism. Meeting with John Lee Hong Kong's Chief Executive John Lee met with Zhou 'in a cordial and productive atmosphere' on Saturday, welcoming Zhou on his new appointment and expressing gratitude for Beijing's care and support for Hong Kong, according to a government statement. 'Director Zhou Yi has extensive experience in local governance and a broad perspective on policy-making,' the Chinese statement read, adding that Zhou was 'well acquainted' with China's policies on Hong Kong. According to the statement, Zhou led a delegation to visit Hong Kong last year and 'gain better insights into its economic development.'
