[Explanation] The National People's Congress in 2022 is underway. On March 5, several representatives of the National People's Congress in Hong Kong said in a video interview with China News Agency and other media that the government work report made by Premier Li Keqiang on the same day showed that the "one country, two systems" policy does not work. It will change, increasing the confidence and strength of Hong Kong people to integrate into the overall development of the country.

　　[Explanation] The government work report mentioned that it is necessary to continue to comprehensively, accurately and unswervingly implement the principles of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong", "Macao people governing Macao", and a high degree of autonomy, and to implement the central government's overall governance over the special administrative region. Firmly implement "patriots governing Hong Kong" and "patriots governing Macao".

　　In this regard, Tan Yaozong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said in a video interview that the central government's overall governance over the special administrative region and "patriots governing Hong Kong" were included in the government work report, indicating that the "one country, two systems" policy will not change.

　　This time, these two key points are included in the government work report, which also shows that this is also the main policy of the central government, and "firm" is written before "implementation". "Patriots ruling Hong Kong" is also a very important condition for the implementation of "one country, two systems".

　　[Explanation] Chen Yong, deputy to the National People's Congress and vice chairman of the Hong Kong Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong, said that in 2021, in the face of the challenge of the epidemic and the unpredictable international environment, the country will be able to control the epidemic and achieve an economic growth rate of 8.1%. Encouraging, he believes that with the support of the mainland, Hong Kong can also overcome the epidemic as soon as possible.

　　Looking around the world, our country has achieved the most beautiful achievements. This aspect is the most exciting, especially for our 7.5 million citizens in Hong Kong to successfully fight against the epidemic in the future. The economy starts again, integrates with the country into the overall situation of national development, and takes off again, laying firm confidence and strength.

　　In fact, there are government work reports every year. There may be some differences in terms, but supporting Hong Kong's economic development and improving people's livelihood has always been a consistent practice in government work reports in recent years.

　　[Commentary] Huang Junyu said that Hong Kong is currently facing the challenge of the epidemic. The central government has done its best to support Hong Kong's fight against the epidemic, and has done a lot of work. The key now is that Hong Kong must work hard to control the epidemic, especially the treatment of critically ill patients.
