[Global Times Comprehensive Report] The Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a series of press conferences on the theme of "This Decade of China" at 10 am on the 20th.

Huang Liuquan and Wang Linggui, deputy directors of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council, introduced the successful practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong and Macau since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and answered questions from reporters.

　　Wang Linggui said that the "one country, two systems" policy is a complete system, and the key to its comprehensive and accurate implementation lies in grasping the relationship between "one country" and "two systems", and safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests is the highest principle of the "one country, two systems" policy.

Under this principle, Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy.

Wang Linggui mentioned that the political power must be firmly in the hands of patriots, which is a common political law in the world.

　　Huang Liuquan said in his speech that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has unswervingly and fully implemented the "one country, two systems" policy.

He summed up four points, including the opening up of a new realm in the theory of "one country, two systems", the improvement of the institutional system of "one country, two systems", the sound situation of Hong Kong and Macao maintaining prosperity and stability, and the accelerated integration of Hong Kong and Macao into the overall development of the country.

He said that in response to the once severe situation in Hong Kong, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China reviewed the situation, further strengthened the centralized and unified leadership of the Party over Hong Kong and Macao work, exercised overall governance over the Special Administrative Region, and promoted the establishment and improvement of the legal system and enforcement mechanism for the Special Administrative Region to safeguard national security.

After experiencing the challenges of wind and rain, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots have a deeper understanding that Hong Kong and Macao have always stood together with the motherland through thick and thin, and are connected by blood.

　　The mainstream media in Hong Kong and Macau generally paid attention to the content of the conference.

Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" mentioned that Huang Liuquan's criticism of some people's belief that Hong Kong has become "inland-oriented" after the implementation of the National Security Law is only alarmist and politically biased.

Talking about the so-called "immigration wave" in Hong Kong in recent years, he pointed out that the description is inappropriate, saying that Hong Kong, as an international city, has always had high population mobility.

　　In response to the general concern of the Hong Kong media on the topic of epidemic prevention and control, "Hong Kong Economic Times" quoted Huang Liuquan as saying that after the new SAR government took office, it has repeatedly emphasized that there is no contradiction between integrating with the world and customs clearance with the mainland. Adjust and optimize Hong Kong's epidemic prevention and control measures according to the situation.

Huang Liuquan said that these adjustments by the SAR government are understandable and do not need to be over-interpreted.

　　Many Hong Kong media have paid attention to the future of the "one country, two systems" policy, especially the implementation after 2047.

Wang Linggui said that the unswerving, comprehensive and accurate implementation of "one country, two systems" is China's unchanging policy.

The central government has made it clear that "one country, two systems" must be adhered to for a long time.

　　Macau's "Power News" stated that the central government will actively study and launch a series of policy measures to support the development of Macau's tourism industry and accelerate the construction of Hengqin Guangdong-Macao deep cooperation zone according to the request of the Macau SAR government, and said that the moderately diversified development of Macau's economy has achieved success. The proportion of the four emerging industries in Macau's GDP continued to rise.

According to the report, the Macau tourism industry was encouraged by the news and suggested to launch a research group and create a diversified tourism group.

Hu Jingguang, president of the Travel Industry Council, said that the press conference reflects the confidence and importance of the central government in Macau.
