最後，我很希望中央政府和特區政府明白，關於單程證的審批，其實大家都很想實事求是地解決有關問題，但最重要的是，要有一個大家可以信任的機制特別是容許單程證的申請過程在香港特區展開作為重建香港與內地相互信任的基礎，否則，只會令新移民來到香港時......
Finally I very much hope that the Central Government and the SAR Government can understand that in regard to the vetting and approval of OWP applications we actually want to resolve the problem in a practical manner . But what is most important is to have a trustful mechanism especially when the OWP application procedure can commence in Hong Kong SAR as a foundation to build mutual trust between Hong Kong and the Mainland
主席，范國威議員今天提出議案，是反對派在單程證審批權上製造議題，是完全、徹底的精神及人格分裂。
President Mr Gary FANs moving of the motion today is an unadulterated manifestation of schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder for the opposition to stir up controversy about the power to approve One - way Permits OWPs
大家都知道人權、平等、民主自由是普世價值，但此議案完全加以踐踏。
We all know that human rights equality democracy and freedom are universal values but this motion tramples all over them
他們可能經常到美國詆毀香港，受特朗普的影響多了，所以把這些普世價值都拋諸腦後。
Perhaps the opposition go to the United States so often to discredit Hong Kong that they have come under more influence from Donald TRUMP to cast aside all these universal values
"然而，范國威議員今天所提議案的第二部分就是要削減單程證配額，即是他牽頭歧視、排斥及分化。
But part 2 of Mr Gary FANs motion today seeks to reduce the OWP quota . That means he takes the lead in discrimination exclusion and division
現時分隔中港兩地的家庭等候來港的時間已經十分長，最低限度要兩三年才獲審批。
At present families split between Hong Kong and the Mainland already have to wait a very long time before coming to Hong Kong that is to say at least two to three years for approval
一旦削減配額，現時的申請人要輪候雙倍或以上時間才可以來港。
Once the quota is reduced the current applicants will have to wait twice as long or even longer before being able to come to Hong Kong
這樣不是踐踏家庭團聚的基本權利嗎？
Is this not trampling on the fundamental right to family reunion?
反對派一定會辯駁，說不是阻止中港婚姻、不讓他們團聚，只是想取回單程證審批權而已。
The opposition will certainly argue that they do not mean to obstruct Mainland - Hong Kong marriages or the reunion of those families but just want to take back the power to approve OWPs
那麼問題便出現了：如此設有眾多條件限制的話，這樣還是否符合基本的婚姻權利及人權呢？
But then a question arises With the imposition of so many conditions is it still in compliance with the fundamental right to marriage and human rights?
此外，在原議案的第三部分，反對派要求制訂考慮受養人的入境政策，即是以身處香港的申請人身份申請內地受養人來港時，第一，可以負擔其生活；第二，內地受養人沒有不良紀錄；還要證明他們之間的關係，主要是以上3點。
In addition in part 3 of the original motion the opposition calls for formulation of an immigration policy that takes into account the dependents . In other words when an application is submitted for the Mainland dependents to come to Hong Kong firstly the applicant in Hong Kong should be able to afford their living costs; secondly the dependents in the Mainland should have no adverse record; and it is also necessary to prove the relationship between them . The aforesaid three points are the keys
再延伸下去，如果要申請跨境婚姻便要通過資產審查，否則就不要考慮跨境婚姻了。
By the same token if applications for cross - boundary marriage are subject to asset tests and otherwise cross - boundary marriage is out of the question is this extrapolation reasonable?
事實上，婚姻是最基本的權利。
In fact marriage is the most basic right
香港人權法案第十九條訂明："一家庭為社會之自然基本團體單位，應受社會及國家之保護"；"二男女已達結婚年齡者，其結婚及成立家庭之權利應予確認。
Article 19 of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights provides that a The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State; b The right of men and women of marriageable age to marry and to found a family shall be recognised
"反對派今天很明顯與人權唱反調，完全漠視家庭團聚的需要。
Today the opposition is obviously advocating against human rights by completely ignoring the need for family reunion
主席，更悲慘的是，反對派經常打着"中港家庭團聚"的牌子，阻礙特區的施政。
President what is more tragic is that the opposition often plays the Mainland - Hong Kong family reunion card to hamper the administration of the SAR
例如，中部水域填海明明是為了建立土地儲備，以防日後土地供應斷層，亦為了不讓現時囤地的發展商勒緊香港的頸，所以要造地。
For example the reclamation in the Central Waters is clearly aimed at developing a land reserve to prevent a future gap in land supply and avoid subjecting Hong Kong to the sway of the existing land - hoarding developers
大家必須留意這種情況，不能縱容這些歪理植根於社會。
We must pay attention to this situation and not condone the entrenchment of such sophistry in society
如果讓取回審批權和進行篩選的思維在社會植根的話，我相信會挑起更多矛盾及分化。
If we let the mentality of taking back the power of approval and conducting screening take root in society I believe it will provoke more contradictions and divisions
此外，主席，我要強調我在20年前也曾處理過一些個案，是香港的申請人在申請期間去世，但有關的審批程序一直進行。
In addition President I would like to emphasize that I dealt with a number of cases 20 years ago in which the Hong Kong applicants died during the application period but the relevant approval procedures were ongoing
當時要解決很多問題，但我們盡量根據申請人的狀況來解決。
Despite the numerous problems to be solved at the time we tried our best to find solutions based on the applicants circumstances
然而，回看這4位當年的中小學生，現時已長大成人，對社會有貢獻，我也感到一點安慰。
Nevertheless looking back I feel some consolation in the fact that the four then primary and secondary school students have now grown up and contributed to society
所以，我們關心及希望的是，有關的處理程序符合人情及人權。
Therefore what we care and hope for is that the relevant procedures should be compatible with humanity and human rights
最後，我在此期望反對派不要再處處留難新來港人士，應該以接納及包容的態度，而不是以抗拒、排斥和抹黑的態度來誹謗，或把責任諉過於人。
Lastly here I expect the opposition to no longer make everything difficult for new arrivals . They should adopt a receptive and tolerant attitude instead of a resistant repulsive and smearing attitude with which they fabricate slanders or put the blame on others for their failure to fulfil responsibilities
代理主席，我想，在香港，除了真正的原居民，包括本會的劉業強議員或其他人，其實全部也是移民家庭，分別只在於屬於哪一代的來港移民。
Deputy President I think that apart from the real indigenous inhabitants including Mr Kenneth LAU or others in this Council everyone in Hong Kong actually belong to immigrant families with the only difference being which generation of immigrants to Hong Kong they fall into
香港由一個漁港發展至今天......我以前很喜歡收看一套電視劇，叫"再見艷陽天"，因為我的爺爺和父母從這一齣劇集中找到屬於他們的影子；我的爺爺17歲便移居來港，而我的父母在港出生。
Hong Kong has developed from a fishing port to todays I used to enjoy watching a television drama called The Good Old Days because my grandfather and my parents found their own shadows in this drama . My grandfather moved to Hong Kong at the young age of 17 and my parents were born in Hong Kong
今天香港的建設，歸功於一代又一代的移民在香港所作出很大的努力。
The achievements of Hong Kong today are attributed to the great efforts made in Hong Kong by generation after generation of immigrants
大家現在常說人口"老人化"，大家應認真面對現實。
Nowadays we often talk about the ageing of population . We should seriously face the reality
在1950年代至1960年代，香港有"嬰兒潮"，因此，五六十年後的今天變相有"老人潮"。
From the 1950s to the 1960s Hong Kong had a baby boom so today almost six decades afterwards there is a de facto elderly boom
香港在1920年代有移民；1949年後有大批移民；1960年代也有一大群移民；1980年代至1990年代，內地改革開放，又一批移民。
Hong Kong had immigrants in the 1920s . After 1949 there were large numbers of immigrants . In the 1960s there was also a large group of immigrants
我們為何可以吸納他們，並且善用這些人力、物力和人才，促進香港的發展，包括歷史、城市、地理及土地方面的發展？
From the 1980s to the 1990s the Mainland embarked on reform and opening up and another group of immigrants followed . Why could we absorb them and make good use of such manpower resources and talents to promote the development of Hong Kong including historical urban geographical and land development?
我在荃灣區長大，正值當年有荃灣新市鎮的規劃；我有很多朋友在沙田長大，因為當年有沙田新市鎮的發展。
I grew up in Tsuen Wan at a time when the planning of the Tsuen Wan new town was implemented . I have many friends who grew up in Sha Tin because of the development of the Sha Tin new town at the time
"我想問問他們，政治融合有何不妥呢？
I wish to ask them what is wrong with political integration?
難道整天對抗爭拗，才算是好嗎？
Could it be that fighting all day long is a good thing?
我們上一代的努力，為何可以達致香港今天的成就，正是因為大家比較融合。
The reason why the efforts made by our last generation could lead to todays achievements of Hong Kong is precisely the relatively high level of their integration
哪一代新移民來港後沒有產生文化衝突的問題？
Which generation of new immigrants did not have the problem of cultural conflicts upon arrival in Hong Kong?
即使是年齡衝突也有。
There were even age conflicts
今天早上，我聽到譚凱邦說話，原來他認為45歲的人是長者，不受歡迎。
This morning I heard TAM Hoi - pong speak and it turns that he considers the 45 - year - olds to be elderly and hence unpopular
今天的香港，很多勞動力都是45歲以上的人士，看電視可以見到88歲的老人家還有繼續做清潔工作。
In Hong Kong today many members of the workforce are over 45 years of age and on television one can see 88 - year - old elderly people still doing cleaning work
我很尊重這些行業，今天清潔工作、建造業工作、很多不受歡迎的粗重工作，其實也是由50歲以上的人很努力地做。
I have great respect for these trades . Today cleaning jobs construction jobs and many unfavourable back - breaking jobs are in fact industriously done by people over 50
例如廚房工作，是誰做這些 粗重的工作？
Take kitchen jobs as an example . Who would do such back - breaking jobs?
他們願意承受艱辛，因為希望為下一代努力。
They are willing to endure hardship because they want to work for the next generation
我的辦事處亦聘請了幾位60歲以上的員工。
My office has also hired several staff over 60
不要說45歲的是長者，根本聽不入耳；這不只歧視內地的合法移民，還歧視長者，甚至中年，即剛才有些議員說的中青年。
Do not say that 45 - year - olds are elderly persons . This remark is too harsh to the ears . It discriminates against not just legal immigrants from the Mainland but also the elderly and even middle - aged people namely the young to middle - aged people as some Members referred to earlier
我相信只要在這方面規劃做好一點，其實香港便不需要成為一個排外的城市，而是可以發揮得更好，不只當"東方之珠"，還要做全球的珍珠。代理主席，我謹此陳辭。
I believe that as long as good planning is done in this respect Hong Kong does not need to be an exclusionary city . Instead it can go one better to be not just the Pearl of the Orient but also the Pearl of the World Deputy President I so submit
代理主席，我想先確認一下。我是修正案的動議人，我是否也有10分鐘發言時間？
Deputy President I would first of all like to confirm that as a mover of an amendment should I also be given 10 minutes to speak?
首先，在我談論這個問題及我的修正案前，我想先引述一篇文章，是《明報》前總編輯劉進圖先生最近一篇名為"香港變壓力煲，爆了又爆"的文章，他說："不單港鐵這個公共運輸系統出現了不勝負荷而'爆煲'的徵兆，香港的公共房屋系統、公共醫療系統、公共教育系統、公共護理安老系統，乃至公共殮葬系統，近年都出現了不勝負荷而'爆煲'的跡象。
Before I talk about the issue under discussion and my amendment let me first quote a few lines from an article written recently by Mr Kevin LAU the former chief editor of Ming Pao Daily News . In this article entitled With Hong Kong turning into a pressure cooker successive explosions are expected he says The public transport system of mass transit network is not the only public service provider which has been overburdened and has shown a sign of collapse our public housing system public health care system education system elderly care system and even public burial service system have all been overburdened in recent years and have shown a sign of collapse . Although the entire city of Hong Kong is still operating as usual now it is actually overloaded
香港整個城市已去到超負荷運行階段，政府如果仍視若無睹，拒絕調節人口流入，盲目配合種種區域發展大計，香港很快就會從壓力煲變成計時炸彈。
If the Government keeps on turning a blind eye to these problems refuses to adjust the number of inward migrants and blindly supports all kinds of regional development plans Hong Kong will turn from a pressure cooker to a time bomb very soon
"關於香港是否"爆煲"及香港各方面的問題，從劉進圖這篇文章已看到，連一群很溫和的公共專業界知識分子也認為這問題必須正視，這亦是這項議案辯論重要的前提和切入點。
With regard to the question of whether Hong Kong is on the verge of collapse and our problems on various fronts we can note from this article written by Kevin LAU that some public intellectuals and professionals who are very moderate do consider this an issue that we must face squarely and this is an important premise and starting point of this motion debate
我認為問題不是陳沛然醫生所說的規劃失當，而是可能涉及更根深蒂固的邏輯問題。
I think the problem does not lie in erroneous planning as suggested by Dr Pierre CHAN but perhaps in certain more deep - rooted logical fallacies
我們現在說香港未來的變化，其中一個很重要的主題，也就是建制派同事不斷提到的，就是若我們不能在香港發展，也不要緊，可以返回大灣區生活；如果我們這些人不喜歡中國的體制，可以選擇離開香港。
One of the very important main themes in the future changes of Hong Kong is the proposal frequently mentioned by fellow colleagues of the pro - establishment camp to go settling down in the Greater Bay Area . Therefore it does not matter even though we find it difficult to continue living in Hong Kong and we can always choose to leave this city if we do not find the systems of Mainland China agreeable
"換血"這個字不單說"人"有所不同，在建制派以至在北京的心目中，香港這地方到了最後，根本要被劃掉，即我們不能再維持我們固有的文化獨特性，也不要以為我們可以自行決定自己的未來——我們要依靠中國內地所有政策，所以要"打散"我們。
In other words we will not be able to maintain the inherent uniqueness of our culture and should not even imagine that we can decide our own future because we have to live and act according to the policies of Mainland China and our community group should therefore be broken up
所以，商界、很多有勢力人士都說香港要維持低稅率，不可以增加公共開支，而陳沛然議員提及的問題，就要持續出現。
This is the reason why the business sector and many powerful persons here have kept indicating that Hong Kong must maintain a low tax rate policy and should avoid increasing public expenditures
接着是醫療的問題。
Health care services will be the next
因此，在計算整個50年的周期後，本地人口會自然減少149萬，而淨移入人口是188萬。
Hence there will be a natural decrease of 1.49 million in the local population and a net inward migration of 1.88 million over the entire projection period of 50 years
我想要反過來要問一個問題，就是政府除了要檢討移民問題外，本港真正的核心問題，就是如何讓香港人對香港這個地方可以感到有信心——無論是教育、房屋、法治——可以在香港選擇生育下一代。
I would conversely like to put a question to the authorities Apart from reviewing the immigration policy how can the Government genuinely deal with the core issue of building up confidence among Hong Kong people in the education system housing policy and the rule of law in this city so that they can put their mind at ease settle down and raise their children here in Hong Kong?
這是一種象徵意義，如果政府無意考慮這方面，反而不斷用一種以低成本為目標的方法來減低成本、外判所有責任來管理這個城市，結果就會像剛才很多同事所說，不斷激化香港的內部矛盾。
This can actually convey a symbolic meaning . If the Government has given no consideration to the above question but has on the contrary tried in every way to achieve the objective of keeping the cost down as far as possible and kept outsourcing its services when administering the city this will only serve to as asserted by many fellow colleagues just now incessantly intensify the internal conflicts of Hong Kong
在"林鄭"上台做香港特首後，我有機會跟她面對面、單對單討論單程證問題。
After Carrie LAM took office as Chief Executive of Hong Kong I had the opportunity to meet with her alone face to face to discuss the issue of One - way Permits OWPs
她當時已經答稱："有關政策行之有效，我看不到有甚麼需要改變。
At the time she categorically replied The relevant policy has been working well . I do not see any need for change
"所以，如果李家超今天在這裏說，特區政府無意改變單程證制度，我一點也不意外。
Therefore if John LEE Ka - chiu says here today that the SAR Government has no intention of changing the OWP scheme I will not be surprised at all
陳健民教授有一句名句，就是"威武不能屈，貧賤不能移民"。
Prof CHAN Kin - man has a catchphrase Do not yield to force; do not emigrate because of poverty
"我們父母上一代是難民，他們受到迫害，被批小資本主義，唯有離鄉背井。
The generation preceding our parents were refugees . Being persecuted and criticized for practising petty capitalism they had no alternative but to leave hearth and home
我在大學教一個科目，最近我問一班接近100人的大學生："香港現時有3個大議題：《國歌法》、《逃犯條例》的修訂，以及單程證。你認為哪一項對你衝擊最大，對你未來最有影響呢？
I teach a subject at university . Recently I asked a class of nearly 100 students Among the three current major issues in Hong Kong namely the National Anthem Bill the amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and OWPs which one do you think hits you the hardest and has the most impact on your future?
"幾乎全部大學生都回答是單程證問題，因為這問題直接影響他們，不論是就學或就業，他們都覺得是被壓迫的一群。
Almost all the students selected the issue of OWPs as their answer because this issue directly affects them with respect to both education and employment . They see themselves as an oppressed group
持單程證的人來香港後，他們也需要有生活空間。
When people holding OWPs arrive in Hong Kong they also need living space
我暫且不說醫療、房屋、教育等社福問題，他們需要有生活空間，就是需要土地。
Leaving aside social welfare issues such as health care housing and education for the time being they need living space which means a need for land
如果沒有這些湧進來的人口，我們是否可以對香港的納稅人公道一點，不需要有東大嶼人工島填海這回事呢？
If there was no such influx of population could we be spared the need to reclaim land for an artificial island to the east of Lantau Island and thus be fairer to the taxpayers of Hong Kong?
我想說一說有關單程證的幾個弔詭迷思。
I would like to talk about a few paradoxical mysteries about OWPs
說來說去，來港的移民是否應該經過資產審查？
After all the talk should immigrants to Hong Kong be subject to assets tests?
但是，對不起，單程證申請人不需要財力和資產審查，海外人士的才需要。
However regrettably applicants holding OWPs are not required to undergo means and assets tests . Only overseas people are required to do so
不是說台灣是中國的一部分嗎？
Is Taiwan not said to be a part of China?
這些政治語言，合用的時候，便說單程證申請人是在一國之內遷徙，不是移民；有需要的時候，便說這些人是移民，大家千萬不要歧視他們。
When fit for purpose such political lingo describes the applicants holding OWPs as migrants within a country instead of immigrants . When necessary these people are said to be immigrants and we are strongly advised not to discriminate against them
但是，台灣人又如何，一時說他們是中國一部分，一時說他們是海外人士。
But what about Taiwanese people? . They are said to be Chinese one moment and overseas people the next
另一方面，沒有人會反對家庭團聚，但香港負荷不了，怎麼辦呢？
Furthermore nobody would object to family reunion but now that Hong Kong is out of its depth what should we do?
很多人說，要家庭團聚為何不回大灣區？
Many people ask Why do they not return to the Greater Bay Area for family reunion?
政府每天叫香港人到大灣區生活、工作，那麼何不順便團聚？
Every day the Government calls on Hong Kong people to live and work in the Greater Bay Area so why do they not take the opportunity to get reunited there?
不是，政府另一的說法是："記住，香港現時已經是大灣區了。
Quite the opposite the Governments another proposition is Bear in mind that Hong Kong is now already part of the Greater Bay Area
政府一方面提倡港人到大灣區，但在另一場合，卻說大灣區已經包括香港在內，所以到大灣區團聚的說法是不成立的。
On the one hand the Government encourages Hong Kong people to go to the Greater Bay Area but on the other it says that the Greater Bay Area already includes Hong Kong so the suggestion of reunion in the Greater Bay Area is not valid
這是否厚顏得不能想象？
Is this shameless beyond imagination?
人家自由戀愛結婚，沒有理由不准其配偶來港，不論男或女，那便來港，沒有問題。
If their marriages are based on romantic love there is no reason why their spouses no matter male or female should not be allowed to come to Hong Kong and that should not be a problem
大家要明白，假設我申請了配偶來港，7年之後他/她便申請其父母來港，而其父母在7年後又可以申請其他子女來港，其他子女又可 以在7年之後再申請。
Members should understand that supposing one has successfully applied for the spouse to come to Hong Kong heshe will apply for hisher parents to come seven years later and hisher parents can further apply for other children to come seven years later and those children can submit further applications seven years later
在20年來，103萬的人口便是這樣"無限loop"地來港。
In the past 20 years 1 030 000 people have come to Hong Kong in such an infinite loop
這個問題對香港政府而言，是看不到、聽不到、說不到的，明明有一隻大白象在房間，但大家當作無事發生，不用害怕，這對香港人絕對不公道。
For the Hong Kong Government this issue is invisible unheard of and unspoken about . While there is obviously a big white elephant in the room everybody brush it aside as if nothing has happened and nothing is worth worrying about . This is absolutely unfair to the people of Hong Kong
香港政府說，假結婚的個案只有千宗，不算太多，定罪只有數百人，不用擔心假結婚的問題；不是說沒有，但不是太多。
The Hong Kong Government said that there are only 1 000 cases of bogus marriage which is not a huge figure and those convicted are only in the hundreds so there was no need to worry about bogus marriages . Not that there are none but they are not numerous
你查不到不等於不存在。
It is really Because you cannot identify them does not mean that they do not exist
有律師跟我說，請我放心辯論單程證的問題，因為他在地區幫助很多新移民婦女，前來詢問的幾乎都是問香港的離婚手續如何。
A lawyer told me to feel at ease to debate the issue of OWPs because he was helping many newly arrived women in the district and almost all of those who came for consultation asked about the divorce procedures of Hong Kong
所以，大家心裏有數，究竟假結婚的個案是否真的如政府所說那麼少，還是只是冰山一角。
Therefore we all know in our heart of hearts whether the number of bogus marriages is really as low as described by the Government or just the tip of the iceberg
如果以單程證移民來港的人真的不能適應香港，想回去內地，我知道是有難度的。
If those who have immigrated to Hong Kong on OWPs really cannot get used to the life here and want to go back to the Mainland I know there are difficulties
我們曾幾何時也討論過讓他們回去大陸，恢復其戶籍。
Some time ago we did discuss letting them return to the Mainland and resume their household registration
他們一旦離開，內地政府取消其戶籍，我是理解的，但反過來，當他們想返回內地，既然是同胞，血濃於水，有何理由不讓他們恢復其戶籍呢？
As soon as they left the Mainland government would cancel their household registration which is understandable to me but on the contrary when they want to return to the Mainland why should they not be allowed to resume their household registration given that they are compatriots whose blood is thicker than water?
這方面應該有更貼切的安排。
There should be more appropriate arrangements in this regard
代理主席，人口政策是社會的重中之重，畢竟一個社會就是由人組成的。
Deputy President population policy is a top priority for society . After all a society is made up of people
香港的生育率長期低於更替水平的2.1，近數年為1.1至1.3，再這樣下去，供養長者的比率很快便會變成2：1，甚至更低。
Hong Kongs fertility rate has stayed below the replacement level of 2.1 for a long time reaching 1.1 to 1.3 in recent years . If this situation drags on the elderly dependency ratio will soon touch 2col1 or even lower
日本的人口老化問題大家很清楚，他們有大臣專門處理這個問題，但怎樣也解決不來。
The problem of population ageing in Japan is clear to all . Despite having a designated minister to deal with the issue there is no solution whatsoever
歐洲央行也大力警告很快會進入死胡同，呼籲各國及早應對。
The European Central Bank has also given strong warnings that we will hit a dead end soon and called on countries to make early response
當一個社會進入消耗快、生產慢的階段，任何措施也可能不會有效。
When a society has entered a stage where consumption is fast and production is slow no measure is likely to be effective
根據保安局的數字，香港由回歸至去年已累積超過103萬人透過單程證來港定居，即每7個香港人便有1個是新移民。
According to the figures of the Security Bureau since the reunification and up to last year a cumulative total of more than 1 030 000 people have come to settle in Hong Kong on One - way Permits OWP . In other words one out of every seven Hong Kong people is a new immigrant
香港近年的公共房屋系統、公共醫療、教育和安老等出現不勝負荷的情況，社會上 有觀感對新移民有意見亦可以理解。
As the public housing system public health care education and elderly services in Hong Kong have been overburdened in recent years the emergence of a negative social perception of new immigrants is understandable
政府有責任理順這個問題，否則便會小事變大事，好事變壞事；本來是蛋糕，處理不好便是炸彈。
The Government has the responsibility to straighten out this problem otherwise small issues will become big and good deeds will turn bad . A cake not properly baked will become a bomb
在思考這個問題時，我參考了內地城市的移居政策，亦參考了其他國家的移民政策。
In thinking about this issue I have taken a cue from the migration policies of Mainland cities as well as those of other countries
我將這個問題簡化為兩點：第一，是審批權誰屬；第二，是通常會考慮甚麼條件。
I summarize this issue into two points first who has the power of approval and secondly what conditions will normally be considered
以北京為例，如果一個香港人或廣州人與北京人結婚，想申請入戶北京，流程是申請人必須先經原居地公安機關批出文件，再得到被投靠人戶口所在地批准，即內地城市的移居亦有雙重審批權。
In Beijing for example if a Hongkonger or Guangzhouese married to a Beijinger wants to apply for household registration in Beijing the procedure dictates that the applicant must first have documents issued by the public security authorities in the place of domicile and then obtain approval from where the hosting spouses household registration is located . In other words migration between Mainland cities is subject to dual approval
第二點，一個普遍條件是基本的經濟能力：入戶北京首先要在北京連續繳納7年社會保險，以保障日後福利；另外，沒有刑事犯罪紀錄。
Secondly a general condition is the basic financial capability . In order to get household registration in Beijing one must first have paid social insurance for seven consecutive years so as to ensure future welfare . In addition the applicant should have no criminal record
這些基本條件外，還有一個積分落戶的過程，就2018年的計算方法，我列舉數個例子：在北京有物業及住滿1年加1分，本科大學畢業生加15分，連續3年納稅、個人所得納稅額超過10萬元人民幣加6分。
Apart from these basic conditions there is also a points - based household registration process . Regarding the scoring method for 2018 I cite a few examples 1 additional point is awarded to those having property in Beijing and lived there for 1 year; 15 additional points are awarded to graduates holding a bachelors degree; and 6 additional points are awarded to those who have paid personal income tax for 3 consecutive years amounting to more than RMB100,000
去年成功在北京落戶的申請者最低分是90.75分。
Last year the minimum score for applicants to successfully settle in Beijing was 90.75
這個計分方法與香港完全不同，有選擇元素在內。
This scoring method is completely different from the practice of Hong Kong in that it contains elements that are selective in nature
