statistics released by the Immigration Department showed that 13,800 general employment visas were granted to overseas workers in 2021, compared to 41,000 in 2019. In addition, for workers coming from mainland China under the Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals program, about 9,000 visas were granted in 2021, a 35% drop compared to 2019. From January 2021 to June 2022, 133,124 Hong Kongers were approved for the British National Overseas visa program, allowing them a path to citizenship in the UK. As of February 2023, around 144,500 people had moved from Hong Kong to the UK using the BN(O) program in two years. The government reported that in 2022, a total of 0.9% of the population fell compared to a year earlier. Collusion On 20 October, Lee said "First, the so-called "collusion" mentioned in the question just now is a term used to stir up social conflict during the period of anti-China strife in Hong Kong, and we have to oppose such destructive discourse of sowing dissension and stirring up conflicts... "Collusion" between X and Y mentioned earlier [by Ambrose Lam] is a deliberate attempt to create social division and contradictions." According to Lee, there is an association between collusion with anti-government protest, whereas some government projects, such as Cyberport, were awarded to a single developer and created complaints of collusion. Transportation In his 2022 Chief Executive Policy Address, Lee announced the Government would prioritise three rail projects and three road projects to improve transport infrastructure and connectivity in Hong Kong. It was reported that all six of these projects would begin consultation later in the year. The Tseung Kwan O line would extend southwards to the New Development Area of Tseung Kwan O Area 137. As part of the development of Area 137, a new road tunnel would be built from Tseung Kwan O to Yau Tong. In addition, he recommended the construction of Hong Kong‑Shenzhen Western Rail Link, a railway line connecting Hung Shui Kiu to Qianhai, Shenzhen, and the Central Rail Link between Kam Tin and Kowloon Tong via Kwai Chung. A new highway, the Northern Metropolis Highway, would improve connectivity between Tin Shui Wai and Kwu Tung North increasing road capacity between the Northern Metropolis. A new trunk road between Tai Po and Kowloon West would bypass Sha Tin and relieve congestion from the Tolo Highway. Glory to Hong Kong In November 2022, Glory to
