[Explanation] As July 1 is approaching, Hong Kong's streets and alleys have a gradually strong festive atmosphere, and a landmark handover anniversary is about to usher here.

Looking back 25 years, the road is blue.

Hong Kong has experienced the adversity of the Asian financial crisis and the international financial crisis. It has also been hit by the SARS epidemic and the new crown pneumonia epidemic, as well as the illegal "Occupy Central" and "revision storm"... With the full support of the central government, Hong Kong has faced the challenge.

After the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the improvement of the electoral system, the social order in Hong Kong has gradually stabilized.

The principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong" has been fully and steadily implemented. From this starting point, Hong Kong will "set off again".

  The development of Hong Kong and the destiny of Hong Kong are inseparable from the country. Since the handover, Hong Kong has encountered difficulties. It is only through the support of the country that we can survive.

The electoral system has been improved, and patriots governing Hong Kong have been implemented, which can ensure that talented people, who are genuine patriots, have patriotic feelings, and have an international perspective, can participate in the governance of Hong Kong.

And under the country's policy of vigorously supporting and consolidating our national financial center, national science and technology innovation center, and Chinese-Western (foreign) cultural (art) exchange center, I believe Hong Kong people will have greater opportunities for development.

  I think the National Security Law for Hong Kong is a very important development milestone for Hong Kong.

With the strong backing of our motherland, the (Hong Kong) National Security Law was enacted, so that we have laws to abide by.

In addition, the tone of "patriots ruling Hong Kong" has also laid a solid platform for our development in the future.

In addition, the improved electoral system also ensures a more democratic parliament and a more democratic society.

I am full of hope and full of confidence in the future of Hong Kong.

  [Explanation] The "sharp sword" is unsheathed, Xiangjiang Anlan.

In response to the political and social chaos in Hong Kong in recent years, the central government has reviewed the situation, formulated the Hong Kong National Security Law, improved the SAR election system, implemented the principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong", and supported the SAR to improve the oath system for public officials... Under these series of measures, the new election The three elections after the "implementation" of the system were successfully held one after another. Hong Kong society gradually got rid of political disputes, and the overall situation achieved a major turning point from chaos to governance.

  [Concurrent] Fan Xu Laitai, the first President of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

  The (National) People's Congress has decided that Hong Kong should have a national security law.

On June 30 (2020), this law will be passed by the Standing Committee, and it will take effect immediately.

Therefore, on July 1 (2020), the Hong Kong National Security Law was implemented, which solved our two major problems. The first major problem could not be followed, and now there is a law to follow.

The second big problem is that we don't have institutions that do this kind of work.

It has perfected the structure in this regard. Politically, it has this institution and the ability to maintain political security.

  [Concurrent] Hong Kong DAB Chairman and Legislative Council Member Li Huiqiong

  I fully see that in the era of "patriots ruling Hong Kong", in the era of good governance and good governance, I believe that Hong Kong can focus on resolving our own deep-seated conflicts, developing the economy, promoting the further development of Hong Kong, and improving the quality of Hong Kong citizens. Happiness, satisfaction.

So I think for the citizens of Hong Kong, and for the city of Hong Kong, "patriots ruling Hong Kong" is an important milestone for us to enter into good governance and good governance.

  [Explanation] Since the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, the amount of new shares raised in Hong Kong has exceeded 650 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of more than 30% compared with the same period before the implementation; the average daily turnover of Hong Kong stocks has exceeded 150 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is nearly 12 months before the implementation. Sixty percent.

A few days ago, the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Chen Maobo, published an article, with detailed data to prove that the Hong Kong National Security Law safeguards the security of the country and the SAR from a legal system, creates a safe and stable environment for Hong Kong society, and provides space for Hong Kong's economy to develop.

  Through the national security legislation and the improvement of the electoral system, our concerted efforts are a new starting point for the historical development of Hong Kong. As long as we work together, we can definitely make Hong Kong a better home.

  [Explanation] Looking back at the past, we have gone through trials and hardships, looking forward to the future, and the future can be expected.

With the joint efforts of the Central Government, the Hong Kong SAR Government and all sectors of society, Hong Kong has achieved a major transition from chaos to governance, and is now at a critical period from governance to prosperity.

"For 25 years, we will join hands to embark on a new journey", which is not only the theme of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's celebration of the return of China this year, but also the expectation of all sectors of society for the future of the "Pearl of the Orient".
