Improve the ability of patriotic and Hong Kong forces to govern Hong Kong.

　　Margaret Chan said that the past year has been of great significance to Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong National Security Law has been implemented in depth, the electoral system has undergone structural reforms, the 7th Legislative Council election has been successfully held, the civil servants of the SAR government have sworn allegiance, and implemented the practice of "patriots ruling Hong Kong", which has achieved a major transition from chaos to governance, and is striding forward A new dimension of good governance and good governance.

　　"The past practice once again shows that to ensure the steady and long-term implementation of the practice of 'one country, two systems' is to implement the principle of 'patriots governing Hong Kong'." She pointed out.

　　The fifth wave of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong is affecting the hearts of people all over the country, and has attracted attention from all walks of life at home and abroad.

Margaret Chan said that the central government and the mainland are fully supporting Hong Kong's fight against the epidemic.

For Hong Kong, the fight against the epidemic is not only about the safety of people's lives, but also a key test of the actual ability and effectiveness of "patriots ruling Hong Kong".

　　She said that the so-called "patriots" are people who can sincerely safeguard national sovereignty, respect the fundamental system of the country and the constitutional order of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and do their best to maintain the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong; Those who take the initiative to shoulder the responsibilities entrusted by the country and the citizens, and earnestly serve the well-being of the people of Hong Kong.

　　Regarding the current and future development of Hong Kong, Margaret Chan suggested that the SAR governance team can only adhere to the anti-epidemic strategy of "dynamic clearing" rather than "coexisting with the virus", only insist on giving priority to "clearing customs with the mainland", and only adhere to the The path of common progress for the motherland and development can help Hong Kong get out of the epidemic as soon as possible and get back on the road of development.

This is also the right choice to help Hong Kong better integrate into the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the overall situation of national development.

　　"If the new-term Legislative Council members can uphold their commitment to serving the people, and under the leadership of the Chief Executive, work together with the SAR government and all sectors of society to win the battle against the epidemic, I think the people of the whole country and Hong Kong compatriots will be very supportive of 'one country, two systems'. The understanding of the system, the trust in the central government, and the confidence in 'patriots ruling Hong Kong' will be unprecedentedly improved." Chen Margaret said.

　　Looking to the future, the task of developing people's livelihood and improving society in Hong Kong is still arduous.

Margaret Chan believes that deep-seated conflicts such as economic transformation, industrial structure, prominent land and housing problems, and limited opportunities for youth mobility need to be resolved urgently.

This depends not only on the active actions of the SAR governance team, but also on the joint efforts of all sectors of society.

Whether it is taking root at the grassroots level or planning the overall situation, there is a stage for "patriots" to play their role.

　　Margaret Chan said that only by gathering the synergy of development and forming a consensus of unity from all walks of life can they provide continuous momentum for shaping the new pattern of good governance and good governance in Hong Kong.

"As long as the forces of patriotism and love for Hong Kong are twisted together, Hong Kong will surely usher in a better tomorrow!" (End)
