AI Summary

short article 1 min

Despite recent arrests, suspected illegal cleaning services targeting Hong Kong residents are still being advertised on the social media platform RedNote. The South China Morning Post found multiple posts promoting domestic cleaning services, some vaguely referencing "local teams" without specifying their origin. One operator quoted a reporter posing as a customer HK$130 per hour, plus a border crossing transport fee, for cleaning services in a Sheung Shui flat, requesting a deposit via WeChat. These services are potentially illegal because they may involve mainland Chinese workers operating in Hong Kong without proper work visas. The advertisements persist even as authorities attempt to crack down on such operations ahead of the Lunar New Year.
