Hong Kong Plans to Reopen Border With Mainland in Weeks

(Bloomberg) — Hong Kong intends to start reopening its borders with the Chinese mainland before mid-January, aiming at returning to pre-Covid cross-border travel arrangements, the city’s leader said.

The borders will “open fully in a gradual, orderly way,” Chief Executive John Lee said during a press briefing at the city’s airport on Saturday on returning from a trip to Beijing, where he met President Xi Jinping.
