On Oct. 18, senior Hong Kong banker Ng Ming-tak told the media that mainland bank employees in Hong Kong have been subject to tight overseas travel control in recent years.

Mr. Ng, who served as senior vice president of the China Construction Bank (Asia) before 2017, pointed out during an online interview on “Precious Dialogue” that higher-ranking mainland bank staff members employed by state-owned enterprises in Hong Kong have had their passports literally taken “out of their own hands.” “Unless they use a fake passport, like Meng Wanzhou, they can hardly travel to overseas destinations at will.”
