Seize the opportunity to innovate and improve Hong Kong's competitiveness in an all-round way
【Xiangjiang Express Review】
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and the great practice of "one country, two systems" has entered a new stage.
Hong Kong is at a critical period from chaos to governance to governance to prosperity. It urgently needs a Chief Executive who is politically firm, has both political integrity and ability, and is pragmatic and responsible. Beads create brilliant again.
On May 8, the highly anticipated election of the sixth chief executive of Hong Kong was successfully held. Li Jiachao was elected as the chief executive candidate with a high rate of 99.16% of the votes, reflecting the high recognition and affirmation of him by the Hong Kong society.
All walks of life in Hong Kong have high expectations for the candidate for the sixth chief executive and the pragmatic and efficient governance of the new SAR government, which has gathered a strong consensus of the whole society to unite and create a new future for Hong Kong.
Looking into the future, "one country, two systems" is still Hong Kong's biggest advantage.
For more than 20 years since its return, the motherland has been a strong backing for Hong Kong's prosperity and development.
From the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the "SARS" in 2003, the international financial crisis in 2008, to the "turbulence of amendments" in 2019, and then to the fifth wave of the epidemic that broke out at the beginning of this year, whenever Hong Kong is in a crisis, the central government must respond to every request. Take action in time to help Hong Kong turn danger into safety and reverse the situation.
The central government attaches great importance to maintaining Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability and the fundamental well-being of its citizens.
In recent years, the "14th Five-Year Plan" has established a new development orientation for Hong Kong. The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is advancing in depth. The "Qianhai Plan" has brought new development space for Hong Kong. Hong Kong is integrating into the overall development of the country. Come alive.
Facing the future, under the governance of worthy patriots, a free and open Hong Kong will surely continue to write new miracles.
As an important window for the country's opening to the outside world, Hong Kong has always played an important role in the country's development.
Now that the country is unswervingly opening up to the outside world, Hong Kong's unique status and role will only be strengthened, not weakened.
With the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the new electoral system, Hong Kong has opened up a new situation of good governance and good governance. Hong Kong is well-managed, well-built and well-developed, and it can continue to play its part in national development and even on the world stage.
Hong Kong's unique advantages of marketization, internationalization, rule of law, numerous talents, diverse cultures, advanced infrastructure, and excellent business environment will also be brought into full play.
Facing the future, Hong Kong needs to seize the opportunity to innovate and start a new chapter together.
As Li Jiachao put forward in his political platform, "Looking back on the past, Hong Kong has gained a lot of valuable experience and needs to learn from it; it has also accumulated many deep-seated problems that need to be solved quickly."
Opportunities and challenges coexist. Only by innovating and forging ahead can Hong Kong overcome the difficulties and obstacles that hinder Hong Kong's progress, realize "from governance to prosperity", and write a new chapter together.
The political platform written by Li Jiachao after going deep into the grassroots and extensively collecting public opinions is considered to be a pragmatic, transformative, people's livelihood-oriented and development-oriented policy blueprint, which has aroused strong repercussions and broad resonance from all walks of life in Hong Kong.
People expect a government that "can do things and get things done" to solve land and housing issues more effectively and improve the well-being of citizens; seize the development opportunities brought about by the construction of the Greater Bay Area, consolidate Hong Kong's status as an international financial center, and enhance core competitive advantages; create A stable and stable environment will enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness in an all-round way, allowing Hong Kong to make great strides forward.
"Today's world has undergone great changes, but the brave wins. Hong Kong cannot afford to be slow, nor can it wait." At the new starting point of "patriots ruling Hong Kong", Hong Kong is gaining momentum.
The people of Hong Kong have always had the spirit of perseverance and struggle, which is the key to the development of Hong Kong from a small fishing village into an international metropolis, creating one miracle after another.
We have reasons to believe that as long as Hong Kong compatriots follow the trend and take advantage of the trend, under the protection of the "one country, two systems" system, we will continue to consolidate and enhance Hong Kong's unique advantages, give full play to Hong Kong's inclusive, diverse, and world-oriented characteristics, and actively embrace the reform and opening up in the new era. With major opportunities such as the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong's competitiveness will be enhanced in an all-round way, and Hong Kong will certainly have a bright future.
