He pointed out that the Communist Party had initiated, developed, and defended the cause of "One Country, Two Systems". He emphasized that the Communist Party of China is the leader of socialism with Chinese characteristics stipulated in the Constitution and clamored for "Ending One".

Hong Kong's institutional mechanisms related to constitutional order "must stick to what is effective, fix what is missing, correct what is wrong, and renew what is outdated."
Dear Vice Chairman Tung Chee Hwa, Vice Chairman Liang Zhenying,
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor,
Distinguished guests and friends:
good morning guys!
In more than ten days, it will be the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party and the 24th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
Today, the central government agency in Hong Kong is very happy to work with the SAR government and all sectors of society to review the extraordinary journey of the “One Country, Two Systems” undertaking led by the Communist Party of China, and to draw wisdom and strength to move forward from history.
A hundred years ago in China, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the people had no livelihood. The Chinese nation was trapped in the abyss of suffering in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
Today, one hundred years later, the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, getting rich, and getting stronger.
It was the Chinese Communist Party that united and led the Chinese people to realize this earth-shaking historical change.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly, "The one hundred years of our party is the one hundred years that we are committed to fulfilling our original mission, the one hundred years that we have laid the foundation and the foundation, and the one hundred years that we will create brilliance and open up the future."
Hong Kong has integrated into this magnificent epic with its own special experience, and the cause of "One Country, Two Systems" has become a splendid chapter in it.
The Communist Party of China pioneered the cause of "One Country, Two Systems".
In the 1980s, in order to solve the problems left over from history, Deng Xiaoping and other Chinese Communists creatively put forward the great concept of "One Country, Two Systems", starting from the overall interests of the country and the nation and the vital interests of Hong Kong compatriots.
After more than ten years, the Chinese Communist Party led the formulation of the Hong Kong Basic Law, the establishment of the "one country, two systems" institutional framework, and preparations for the establishment of the first special administrative region, achieving the smooth transition and smooth return of Hong Kong that has attracted worldwide attention.
In the context of the sharp confrontation between the two major camps of capitalism and socialism at that time, what kind of mind and courage was needed to make a political decision on "one country, two systems"?
To this day, we can still ask this question: Which other ruling party in the world will allow the implementation of two social systems within one country?
The great pioneering undertaking of "One Country, Two Systems" changed the so-called stereotype in history that whenever the lost land was regained, it had to go to war. It was the creation of the era of political wisdom of the Chinese Communists, and it wrote a brilliant Chinese plan in the history of human political civilization.
The Communist Party of China has developed the cause of "One Country, Two Systems".
Since the return, the Communist Party of China has led Hong Kong's "One Country, Two Systems" cause to keep advancing through exploration.
Politically, correctly handle the relationship between safeguarding the central’s overall governance power and guaranteeing the high degree of autonomy of the Special Administrative Region, interpreting the Basic Law five times, promulgating and implementing the Hong Kong National Security Law, improving the Special Administrative Region’s electoral system, and improving Hong Kong’s "one country, two systems" constitutional basis .
Economically, it organically combines the strong backing role of the motherland with the enhancement of Hong Kong's own competitiveness, and introduces a series of policies to benefit Hong Kong and the people, and support Hong Kong in resisting two financial crises and two major epidemics, so that Hong Kong will always be strong in various storms. Does not fall.
Culturally, Hong Kong is encouraged to take advantage of the integration of Chinese and foreign cultures in an international metropolis, expand and deepen exchanges and cooperation with the Mainland, and participate in international cultural and artistic exchange activities. Hong Kong's international influence is increasing.
I really want to know how those Western media who concluded that "Hong Kong is dead" before the reunification can explain the fact that Hong Kong has been voted as the most competitive region in the world for many years?
It can be inferred that those who are still singing bad news about Hong Kong today and claiming that the "two systems are dead" will continue to respond to their ignorance and prejudice with irrefutable facts.
The Communist Party of China defended the cause of "one country, two systems".
Since the reunification, Hong Kong's practice of "one country, two systems" has achieved universally recognized success.
However, under the instigation of the anti-China forces to disrupt Hong Kong, the misunderstanding of the concept of "accumulating failure to become true" and the actual risk of "deformation" and "out-of-shape" have also appeared.
In particular, the "Regulations Amendment Disturbance" that broke out in 2019 severely trampled on the rule of law and social order, severely undermined the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, and severely challenged the bottom line of the "one country, two systems" principle.
Many people worry about whether "one country, two systems" can continue?
Facing the most severe situation since the return of Hong Kong, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core insisted on administering Hong Kong according to law, building a line of defense to safeguard national security, upholding the fundamental principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong", and smashing the anti-China chaos in Hong Kong. The "color revolution" scheme, "one country, two systems" is back on track.
It is difficult to imagine how Hong Kong can get out of the "black violence" and "speculation" without a series of major decisions made by the central government to correct chaos, and how can it usher in a major transition from chaos and governance?
It is in this process that people from all walks of life in Hong Kong have further realized that "one country" is the prerequisite and foundation of "two systems"; "one country" is the root, and deep roots can grow; Rong.

Guests, friends!
History records the past and mirrors the future.
The practice of "One Country, Two Systems" in Hong Kong has brought us many lessons and enlightenments.
First, to advance the cause of "one country, two systems", we must uphold and maintain the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
History tells us that without the Communist Party, there would be no New China, no socialism with Chinese characteristics, no "one country, two systems", and no smooth return of Hong Kong and prosperity and stability after the return.
The leadership of the Chinese Communist Party is the choice of history and the people.
The Communist Party of China is the leader of socialism with Chinese characteristics stipulated in the Constitution, and the founder, leader, practitioner and defender of the well-deserved cause of "one country, two systems".
No one understands the value of "one country, two systems" more deeply than the Chinese Communist Party, and no one sticks to the original aspiration of "one country, two systems" more persistently than the Chinese Communist Party.
Those who clamor for the “end of one-party dictatorship” and deny the party’s leadership of the cause of “one country, two systems”, those who attempt to use Hong Kong as a geopolitical pawn, a tool to contain China, and a bridgehead to infiltrate the mainland, are destroying the foundation of the “one country, two systems” system. It is the real enemy of Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.
Facts will continue to prove that safeguarding the leadership of the Communist Party of China means safeguarding "one country, two systems", safeguarding the constitutional order of the special administrative region established by the Constitution and the Basic Law, and safeguarding the bright future of Hong Kong and the fundamental well-being of Hong Kong compatriots.
Second, to advance the cause of "one country, two systems", we must constantly improve the systems and mechanisms related to the implementation of the Constitution and the Basic Law.
The life of the system lies in self-renewal and self-development.
In the past 24 years, the Communist Party of China has continuously enriched and developed the theory and practice of "One Country, Two Systems", elevating "One Country, Two Systems" from a "new topic" and "major topic" of governance to a "basic strategy" and "significant advantage" of socialism with Chinese characteristics. "The achievements of Hong Kong's governance have enriched the party's connotation of governing the country in the new era.
Facing the future, as the country continues to modernize its governance system and governance capabilities, and the socialist system with Chinese characteristics becomes more mature and finalized, the central government will continue to uphold and improve the "one country, two systems" system.
Hong Kong's institutional mechanisms related to the constitutional order must be adhered to if they are effective, those that are missing must be repaired, those that are deviated must be corrected, and those that are outdated must be updated.
Facts will continue to prove that the "one country, two systems" system that plugs loopholes, compensates for defects, and takes into account the interests of all parties will better safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, better implement the central government's overall governance, and better promote Hong Kong in the long-term Prosperity and stability will better protect the freedom and democratic rights of Hong Kong residents.
Third, to advance the cause of "one country, two systems", Hong Kong must be better integrated into the overall development of the country.
The destiny of Hong Kong has always been closely linked with the motherland, and the development of the country has always been the biggest support for Hong Kong's development.
As early as the 1960s when the mainland economy was very difficult, the central government invested heavily in the construction of the Dongshen water supply project and opened the "three express trains" to ensure 80% of Hong Kong's water supply and more than 90% of the supply of fresh, live and frozen food.
After the reform and opening up, Hong Kong compatriots went to the mainland to invest and start businesses. While promoting the national economic take-off, it ushered in the golden age of Hong Kong's development.
After the reunification, Hong Kong has not paid a penny of tax to the state, but it can always get the full support of the state when it encounters difficulties.
Today's China is highly open and changing with each passing day. With its size and vitality, Hong Kong can provide a powerful impetus for Hong Kong to increase its advantages, expand its space, and solve problems.
In particular, the country's establishment of a new development pattern, deepening of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan" have created major opportunities for Hong Kong that cannot be missed.
Facts will continue to prove that as long as we find a correct position in the overall situation of national development and play a more active role, Hong Kong will definitely be able to cultivate new advantages, play new roles, achieve new development, and constantly solve deep-seated contradictions and problems in the economic and people’s livelihoods, and make development achievements truly Benefit the general public.
On June 12, the Communist Party of China and One Country, Two Systems Forum was held in Hong Kong.

Guests, friends!
The fate of modern China was ill-fated, and the Opium War forced Hong Kong to leave the motherland.
At that time, the land of China was full of robbers and concessions. "Chinese and dogs were not allowed to enter." There was national humiliation everywhere. How could there be personal dignity?
Today, the new China that the Chinese Communist Party led the people to create can already see the world level up, and hundreds of millions of Chinese people are the masters of their own affairs and proud of themselves.
We firmly believe that with the historical process of the motherland becoming a socialist modern power, the majority of Hong Kong compatriots will further enhance their sense of belonging to the great motherland, further enhance their sense of identity with the Communist Party of China, and further enhance their sense of pride in being Chinese.
With the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core at the helm and the united struggle of 1.4 billion Chinese people, including compatriots in Hong Kong and Macau, the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will surely be realized, and the practice of "one country, two systems" in the new era will surely continue to be brand new Chapter!
