On March 3, the press conference of the Fourth Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was held in Beijing. Guo Weimin, the spokesperson of the conference, briefed Chinese and foreign media about the conference and answered questions from reporters.
In answering reporters’ questions about Hong Kong’s economic and social development, Guo Weimin said that the CPPCC National Committee has always been very concerned about the economic and social development of Hong Kong. There are more than 230 Hong Kong and Macau members of the CPPCC. Actively participate in construction.
You just asked about the current economic situation in Hong Kong. The current difficulties in Hong Kong's economic development are not only due to the impact of the epidemic, but also affected by the "regulations".
The implementation of Hong Kong's National Security Law has effectively safeguarded national security, improved the "one country, two systems" system, and played a role as a "sacred needle" for Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability.
Guo Weimin said that the destiny of Hong Kong has always been closely linked with the motherland.
Backed by the ever-developing mainland of the motherland, Hong Kong is an important meeting point of the "dual cycle" of international and domestic.
In recent years, the rapid development of the country has provided Hong Kong with a vast space.
The central government strongly supports Hong Kong's participation in the "Belt and Road", the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the construction of the National Pilot Free Trade Zone, supports Hong Kong's promotion of its status as an international financial center, and helps Hong Kong companies to open up the mainland market.
In order to help Hong Kong fight the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the central government has made every effort to guarantee the supply of materials in Hong Kong, assisted in large-scale nucleic acid testing, and assisted in the construction of Hong Kong community treatment facilities and temporary hospitals to ensure Hong Kong's economic and social stability.
Guo Weimin said that the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference is actively working on promoting Hong Kong's prosperity, stability and development.
Last year, the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference successively held counterpart consultations and special consultations, focusing on the theme of “Building an International Science and Technology Innovation Center in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area” and “Promoting Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Innovation Cooperation”. The opinions and suggestions provide useful references for the central government to formulate policies and effectively implement policies.
The CPPCC members believe that with the joint efforts of the SAR government and all walks of life in Hong Kong, with the strong support of the motherland, Hong Kong will surely have a bright future.
Guo Weimin said that you just mentioned the issue of "patriots ruling Hong Kong". We believe that "patriots ruling Hong Kong" is the due and core meaning of the "one country, two systems" policy, and it must be adhered to to fully and accurately implement the "one country, two systems" policy Fundamental principles.
Whether it is enacting and implementing the Hong Kong National Security Law or improving the electoral system of the Special Administrative Region, it is all about upholding and improving "One Country, Two Systems" and ensuring that the practice of "One Country, Two Systems" follows the correct direction and goes forward steadily.
The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will conscientiously implement the central government's major policies for Hong Kong and Macao work, strengthen ideological and political guidance, broadly build consensus, and firmly support the fundamental principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong".
