(Two Sessions Express) Wang Yi: The implementation of "patriots ruling Hong Kong" is completely constitutional and legal, just and reasonable

　　China News Service, Beijing, March 7 (Reporter An Yingzhao) Chinese State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi expressed his position in Beijing on the 7th at the request of the National People's Congress to improve the election system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

　　On the same day, the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress held a press conference. Wang Yi answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on "China's foreign policy and foreign relations."

　　Wang Yi said that improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region election system and implementing "patriots ruling Hong Kong" is not only a practical need for advancing the cause of "one country, two systems" and maintaining long-term stability in Hong Kong, it is also the power and responsibility of the National People's Congress conferred by the Constitution, which are completely constitutional, legal, and reasonable.

　　Wang Yi pointed out that, no matter which country you are in, allegiance to your motherland is a basic political ethic that public officials and candidates for public office must abide by.

It's the same in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China and part of the People’s Republic of China.

If you are not patriotic, talk about how to love Hong Kong.

Love Hong Kong and patriotism are exactly the same.

　　Wang Yi said that Hong Kong did not have any democracy during the period of colonial rule.

In the 24 years since the reunification, no one cares more about the development of democracy in Hong Kong than the central government, and hopes that Hong Kong will maintain its prosperity and stability.

Hong Kong’s transition from chaos to governance is fully in the interests of all parties and will also provide a more solid guarantee for safeguarding the rights of Hong Kong residents and the legitimate interests of foreign investors.

"We are determined to continue to adhere to'one country, two systems','Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong', and a high degree of autonomy. We are also confident that Hong Kong's tomorrow will get better and better." (End)
