China News Agency, Hong Kong, January 15th. Zheng Yanxiong, director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong Liaison Office), delivered a 2023 New Year speech entitled "Making the Momentum of Prosperity Stronger" on the 15th.
He said that by walking with the motherland and putting the future of Hong Kong into the overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation to plan and advance, the space for Hong Kong's "prosperity" will be infinite and broad, and it will always have the confidence and confidence to overcome the challenges of wind and waves.
Zheng Yanxiong shared three views in his speech.
First, to make the kinetic energy of "prosperity" stronger, we need to seize the huge opportunity of Chinese-style modernization and add inexhaustible motivation to participate in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The vast development hinterland of the motherland, the huge consumer market, the inexhaustible drive for innovation, etc., provide a broad stage for Hong Kong dreamers to show their talents.
Walking with the motherland, putting the future of Hong Kong into the overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation to plan and advance, the space for Hong Kong's "prosperity" is infinitely broad, and it will always have the confidence and confidence to overcome the challenges of wind and waves.
Second, to make the momentum of "Xing" stronger, we need to actively participate in international exchanges and cooperation, and enhance our core competitiveness in the process of consolidating our unique position and advantages.
Enhance international attractiveness while actively integrating into the overall development of the country, enhance comparative advantages while actively participating in international cooperation and competition, and do a good job in the big article of "giving full play to Hong Kong's strengths and contributing to the needs of the country". We will surely usher in more and better development opportunities.
Third, to make the kinetic energy of "Xing" stronger, we need to be determined to start a business and gather strong synergy in the unity and struggle.
Today, Hong Kong has gradually moved away from the vortex of pan-politicization. The social foundation of "patriots governing Hong Kong" has become stronger, and the social consensus on seeking stability and development has become stronger. The younger generation has more opportunities to start businesses and grow into talents.
As long as the great creativity hidden in Hong Kong society is fully stimulated, there will be no difficulties and problems that cannot be overcome on the road ahead.
Zheng Yanxiong said that the new SAR government is upright and innovative, showing a new atmosphere of "patriots governing Hong Kong".
The Hong Kong Liaison Office, like everyone else, cherishes the current situation of "governance" in Hong Kong, and earnestly hopes that Hong Kong will strengthen its momentum of "prosperity" and further create a new situation of governance and prosperity.
Zheng Yanxiong pointed out that the next five years will be "a critical period for the start of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way" and "a critical period for Hong Kong to create a new situation and achieve a new leap forward".
"Standing at the historical node where the'two critical periods' meet, we are full of hope and confidence in a Hong Kong that will be governed and prosperous." With the strenuous efforts of the SAR government and all walks of life, and the unremitting efforts of Hong Kong citizens, the momentum of Hong Kong's "prosperity" will definitely become stronger.
