HONG KONG (Bloomberg): The border between Hong Kong and mainland China is set to "fully reopen” early next month for the first time in three years, the South China Morning Post reported, as the Communist Party rolls back Covid restrictions to bolster its faltering economy.

Preparations are being made for the reopening of the border, including sending thousands of customs, immigration and police officers to land checkpoints to handle the expected crowds, the SCMP reported, citing unnamed people. The high-speed rail service will start running at the same time, it said.
