- The internet personality, who goes by ‘Hong Kong’s Little Miss Tsang’, lambasted the city for what she said were loopholes in its anti-pandemic measures

The internet personality’s video detailing her own purported experience entering her mandatory 14-day quarantine at her Hong Kong home has so far attracted more than 16.2 million views since it was posted on Weibo on Saturday.
The vlogger, who professes to be a Hongkonger based in Shenzhen and goes by the moniker “Xiang Gang Zeng Xiao Mei”, or “Hong Kong’s Little Miss Tsang”, has more than 5,000 followers who tune in for her commentary on day-to-day life and the occasional social issue.
“I finally know why Hong Kong’s quarantine regulations are so lousy and why there’s a huge influx [of cases],” she exclaims in exasperation at the outset of the video, filmed on her first day of quarantine. “It’s because of their dumb quarantine regulations!”
Over a span of 3½ minutes, Tsang goes on to complain about what she characterised as various loopholes, including how home quarantine arrangements were not strict enough compared to those on the mainland.
