Xi Jinping's speech in Macau is generally regarded as a "knock" on the curve of the current chaotic situation in Hong Kong. In short, the most attention has focused on two speeches. The first was a speech at the welcome dinner of the Macau Special Administrative Region Government, which pointed out that the "five highlights" of Macau's practice of one country, two systems was interpreted as "five highlights" of Hong Kong:
First, patriotism and love to Australia have become the core value of the whole society. The Government of the Special Administrative Region and people from all walks of life understand that Macao's future and destiny are closely linked to the motherland, upholding a strong national concept and patriotic feelings, and uniting patriotism and love for Australia. After returning to the motherland, the majority of Macao compatriots cherish the core values of democracy, the rule of law, human rights, and freedom, and adapt to the historical transformation of Macao as a special administrative region of the country. They have more firmly put patriotism and love in the core value sequence. Whether it is dealing with major issues, formulating laws and policies, planning various undertakings, or selecting governing talents, determining education policies, and grasping the direction of public opinion, whether it is in the interests of the country or Macao is the primary consideration. In particular, patriotism education was carried out in depth for young people, and all schools covered national flags and national anthems, which spread the spirit of patriotism and consolidated the ideological basis for the successful practice of "one country, two systems."
Second, the authority of the Constitution and the Basic Law is firmly established. The Government of the Special Administrative Region and people from all walks of life understand that the Constitution and the Basic Law together constitute the constitutional basis of the Special Administrative Region. The rule of Australia in accordance with the law is first of all to govern Australia in accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law, and to consciously safeguard the authority of the Constitution and the Basic Law. A harmonized constitution and basic law publicity and education system has been established, and both primary and secondary schools have a constitution and basic law education curriculum. It is required that public officials must understand and master the Basic Law, and set up basic law examination procedures in various links such as training, induction and promotion. Held a series of National Constitution Day activities for 5 consecutive years, and promoted the formation of a good atmosphere of respect for the Constitution, studying the Constitution, observing the Constitution, maintaining the Constitution, and using the Constitution.
Third, the administration-led system runs smoothly. The Government of the Special Administrative Region and people from all walks of life are well aware that administrative leadership is an important principle of the political system of the Special Administrative Region designed by the Basic Law, and it reflects the fundamental requirement that the Chief Executive be accountable to the central government on behalf of the entire Special Administrative Region. Under the leadership of the Chief Executive, the executive and legislative bodies cooperate with each other and restrict each other with emphasis on cooperation. The judicial organs independently exercise their judicial power, and each department has clear powers and responsibilities and performs its duties in accordance with law. The Special Administrative Region Government not only focuses on maintaining the continuity and stability of policies, but also keeps pace with the times, conforms to economic and social development and the expectations of the public, and promotes reforms in public administration, which are pragmatic and effective, and strive to improve governance capabilities and standards.
Fourth, integrate into the overall national development situation and take the initiative. The Government of the Special Administrative Region and people from all walks of life understand that the great motherland is a strong backing for the development of Macao, and firmly grasp the major opportunities for the implementation of national strategies such as the construction of the “Belt and Road” and the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The organic combination of "the needs of the country, the director of Macau" and "the needs of the country, the director of Macao" organically expands new space and injects new impetus into the development of Macao. The areas of cooperation between Macao and the mainland are expanding day by day, the cooperation mechanism is more complete, and the level of cooperation is constantly improving, which has effectively promoted complementary and mutually beneficial and coordinated development.
Fifth, tolerance and harmony enhance social cohesion. The government of the Special Administrative Region and people from all walks of life are well aware that "family and everything are flourishing" and harmony are the key to peace, stressing unity and negotiation, not arguing, not consuming, and consciously resisting various interference from outside. Different ethnic groups respect each other, help each other, love each other, coexist and coexist in multiple cultures, and mutually support each other. The scenes of the general public fighting against the "mangosteen" super typhoon are touching, and the story of the town is full of warmth.
The second session was a speech at the "Celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Return of Macao to the Motherland and the Inauguration Ceremony of the Fifth Government of the Macau Special Administrative Region", summing up the "4 important experiences" and "1 emphasis" of the successful practice of one country, two systems in Macau:
First, always be confident in the "one country, two systems" system. The majority of Macao compatriots sincerely support "one country, two systems" and agree that "one country, two systems" is the best system for Macao to maintain long-term prosperity and stability. In the practice of "one country, two systems", the Government of the Special Administrative Region and all walks of life insisted on unifying the maintenance of national sovereignty, security, development interests, and the long-term prosperity and stability of Macao. They were determined, never shaken by twists and turns, and never outside Disturbed and confused, he is good at grasping the opportunities brought by the country's major development strategy and a series of policy support, taking advantage of the situation, and realizing his own better development by integrating into the overall national development situation.
The successful practice of Macao tells us that as long as we firmly believe in "one country, two systems", the vitality and superiority of "one country, two systems" will fully manifest.
Second, we must always accurately grasp the correct direction of "one country, two systems". The majority of Macao compatriots deeply agree that "one country" is the premise and basis of "two systems", have a clear banner, uphold the constitutional order established by the Constitution and the Basic Law, respect the socialist system implemented by the main body of the country, and correctly handle related issues involving the relationship between the central and special administrative regions. . The administrative, legislative and judicial organs of the Special Administrative Region insist on an organic combination of safeguarding the central government's comprehensive administrative power over the special administrative region and guaranteeing the high degree of autonomy of the special administrative region, adhere to the bottom line of the "one country" principle, and consciously safeguard the central power and the authority of the Basic Law.
The successful practice of Macao tells us that we must ensure that the practice of "one country, two systems" is not deformed and out of shape, so that the cause of "one country, two systems" can be promoted steadily and far.
Third, always strengthen the "one country, two systems" mission. The majority of Macao compatriots, with a sense of ownership, consciously consider issues from the standpoint of the overall national interest and the fundamental interests of Macao, and regard the successful implementation of "one country, two systems", "Australians governing Macao", and a high degree of autonomy as their common mission. The Chinese dream of a great national rejuvenation is closely linked. The Government of the Special Administrative Region is united to lead people from all walks of life to actively explore governance methods and development paths that are suitable for Macau's actual situation. They have successively proposed "solid education, stable development", "all-round improvement of the comprehensive quality of life of Macao society", "inheritance and innovation, and harmonious co-construction." "Policy guidelines such as" one heart, one mind, sharing prosperity ", focus on economic development, effectively and effectively improve people's livelihood, unswervingly protect the rule of law, promote democracy step by step, tolerate mutual aid and promote harmony, and let Macau shine with vigor and vitality.
The successful practice of Macao tells us that the Macao compatriots, who are the masters of the country, are fully capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the times and managing, building and developing the Special Administrative Region.
Fourth, the social and political foundation of "one country, two systems" has always been firmly established. The majority of Macao compatriots have a patriotic tradition, a strong sense of national identity, belonging and national pride. This is the most important reason for the successful implementation of "one country, two systems" in Macau. The Government of the Special Administrative Region and all sectors of the society attach great importance to the promotion of the patriotic tradition, and resolutely implement the "Australians govern Macao" with patriots as the main body. The SAR government organs are mainly composed of patriots. The patriotic and Australian power is growing and growing. Value is dominant in Macau society. With the personal leadership of the Chief Executive, the effective performance of government departments, and the joint participation of all sectors of society, patriotism education in various schools in Macao has a strong and vibrant voice, and national awareness and patriotism are deeply rooted in the hearts of young people.
Macao's successful practice tells us that continuously consolidating and developing the socio-political foundation compatible with the practice of "one country, two systems" and achieving the broadest solidarity under the banner of patriotism and love to Australia are the fundamental guarantee for "one country, two systems" to always follow the correct track.
What I want to emphasize here is that after the return of Hong Kong and Macao to the motherland, handling the affairs of these two special administrative regions is entirely China's internal affairs, and no external forces are required to point their fingers at it. The Chinese government and Chinese people's will to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests is as firm as a rock. We will never allow any external forces to interfere in Hong Kong and Macau affairs!

Chen Yong, a deputy to the National People's Congress of the Port Area, said that both Hong Kong and Macau returned to the motherland from the colonies in the 1990s, both are Cantonese-speaking areas, and both are China's special administrative regions. At first Hong Kong led Macau in many ways, but it evolved the following year. Today ’s overall performance is even more satisfactory, especially in the implementation of the “one country, two systems” bone node, which is even more satisfying to the central authorities. This is because Hong Kong has buried many deep-seated contradictions and has not been resolved. This caused the most turbulent situation in 50 years. The central government did not want to directly criticize Hong Kong. Therefore, it used the platform of the 20th anniversary of the return of Macau to set up a model of "one country, two systems" for Hong Kong.
Chen Yong pointed out that the central government believes that in this storm of revisions, some problems in Hong Kong have been exposed. These problems were clearly transmitted from Xi Jinping's speeches. For example, Hong Kong people's relatively weak awareness of maintaining national security, incomplete national education, Hong Kong continues to contend with internal friction and so on, and this time the central government seems to particularly want to bring about the issue of interference from "external forces". It is estimated that the central government's future strategy for Hong Kong will attach great importance to how to prevent this problem.
Chen Yong also said that in Xi Jinping ’s speech, he mentioned that “Macao society from all walks of life rationally expresses various demands and forms a good coordination mechanism”, “does not argue, does not consume internally, and consciously resists various external disturbances”, “is not confused by external interference”, In response to the wave of violent demonstrations in Hong Kong in the past six months, I hope to awaken radicals, "sentences are fresh and hot"; while referring to "Macao compatriots from the heart to support" one country, two systems ", agreeing that" one country, two systems "is a long-term Macau The best system for prosperity and stability "and" Macao compatriots have a patriotic tradition and a strong sense of national identity, belonging and national pride. This is the most important reason for the successful implementation of "one country, two systems" in Macau. " Citizens point out that sincerely supporting one country, two systems and fostering a sense of national return is the only way for Hong Kong to maintain its success, prosperity and stability.
