HONG KONG: Around 7pm one evening in early March, David Cheng, 64, left a two-storey dormitory built from stacked shipping containers in Lok Ma Chau, Hong Kong.

He drove an empty truck across the border to Shenzhen, Guangdong province, before returning to Hong Kong at around 4am, with the vehicle fully loaded with daily necessities and medical supplies that were in short supply.
