The central government implements the one country, two systems policy to safeguard national sovereignty, security, development interests and Hong Kong The determination of long-term prosperity and stability is unswerving, and the determination of opposing external forces' interference in Hong Kong affairs and interference in China's internal affairs is unswerving. Any hegemonic act will inevitably end in failure."
