China News Agency, Hong Kong, August 10. The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, welcomed and supported the central government's release of the white paper "Taiwan Issue and China's Reunification in the New Era" on the 10th.
He said that the white paper justly and solemnly reiterated to the world the fact and status quo that Taiwan is part of China, and demonstrated the central government's firm stance and policy on realizing the reunification of the motherland.
Li Jiachao pointed out that for a long time, some political forces in Taiwan have deliberately misinterpreted and maliciously smeared "one country, two systems", and deliberately advocated "Taiwan independence".
Facts have proved that "one country, two systems" is a successful national policy.
The successful practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong is obvious to all. It is the best institutional guarantee for Hong Kong society and an important cornerstone for maintaining Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability.
Fully and accurately implement the "one country, two systems" policy to create boundless and broad development space for Hong Kong.
Li Jiachao said that Hong Kong's ability to survive the damage and threats brought about by the "black violence" and "Hong Kong independence" that were fueled by external forces three years ago was entirely due to the institutional guarantee of "one country, two systems" and a series of measures taken by the central government to address both the symptoms and the root causes. Adhere to and improve the "one country, two systems" system, so that Hong Kong will move from chaos to governance to a new stage of governance and prosperity.
This proves the importance of "one country, two systems" to safeguarding the basic interests of Hong Kong, and also proves that the stronger the "one country" principle is, the more obvious the advantages of "two systems" will be.
Li Jiachao reiterated that the SAR government resolutely safeguards China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity, upholds the one-China principle, firmly opposes any interference in China's internal affairs by external forces, and fully supports and cooperates with the necessary measures taken by the central government.
