China News Service, Hong Kong, June 29 (Reporter Liu Chenyao and Zeng Jia) In an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency, Tung Chee-hwa, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that he is full of confidence that "one country, two systems" will give Hong Kong the most powerful institutional advantage.
Dong Jianhua accepted an exclusive interview before going to Beijing to participate in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
As the first chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, he believes that the series of turmoil in Hong Kong in recent years has had a great impact on the rule of law and people's livelihood, and has also exacerbated social tears.
"However, it can be seen that apart from the deep social contradictions of Hong Kong’s microclimate, it is also inseparable from the global climate of geopolitical changes in the new era. The hidden dangers left over by the British Hong Kong government, coupled with the intervention of external forces, Hong Kong’s challenges in the past two years have exceeded. The processing capacity of the SAR government is improved. If the central government does not take the roots and act decisively, Hong Kong may face a deteriorating crisis."
Tung Chee-hwa said that at the critical moment of right and wrong, the central government is determined to maintain the "one country, two systems" constitutional order, based on the concept of governing for the people, and based on the purpose of safeguarding the well-being of Hong Kong citizens, making research, judgments and deployment from a strategic and overall perspective.
He pointed out that the central government first used the National Security Law to stop violence and control chaos, and then improved the electoral system to ensure that patriots rule Hong Kong, providing a solid foundation for Hong Kong’s long-term peace and stability, and enabling Hong Kong to embark on a road from chaos and governance, from governance to prosperity. .
Tung Chee-hwa believes that the international community will eventually understand that the Hong Kong issue is purely China's internal affairs, and will respect and appreciate the necessary measures and good intentions of the Chinese government for the stability and long-term development of "One Country, Two Systems".
In 2019, Tung Chee-hwa was awarded the National Honorary Medal of "One Country, Two Systems" Outstanding Contributor.
As a practitioner and defender of "One Country, Two Systems", Tung Chee-hwa has full confidence in Hong Kong.
He told reporters that "One Country, Two Systems" gives Hong Kong the most powerful institutional advantage. It not only protects Hong Kong’s capitalist system, safeguards Hong Kong’s status as an international financial center, and an international business center, but also allows Hong Kong to catch the national economic express and fully integrate into the development of the Greater Bay Area. , Integrate into the overall situation of national development, expand the prospect of science and technology innovation center, and complement and develop coordinated development with the mainland's advantages.
When talking about young people in Hong Kong, he said that in the past, young people in Hong Kong always "looked up" to the West unconsciously, and did not have a thorough understanding of their own national culture and national development.
"Now, I want to borrow the words of President Xi to tell the young people in Hong Kong that China can already'see the world head up.' Young people should look up and look at the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland and the historical achievements of a well-off society in an all-round way. The perseverance epic of fighting the epidemic, look at the Martian photos of'Tianwen No. 1', and look at the ordinary and moving Chinese dream of 1.4 billion people."
Dong Jianhua said that today's young people should be in their positions and proudly become participants, contributors, and implementers of the Chinese Dream.
