"One country, two systems" will have new problems to solve before it can move forward
Shen Chunyao said that "one country, two systems" must be adhered to for a long time, and it is the best system to maintain Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability. Just as Xi Jinping mentioned in his "July 1" speech, "one country, two systems" must be fully and accurately implemented.
He said that the rule of law in Hong Kong and Macao must be adhered to. The Constitution and the Basic Law together constitute the constitutional basis of the SAR and jointly determine the constitutional order of the SAR. The central government attaches great importance to this constitutional order.
A broader "one country, two systems" united front must be formed
He mentioned that we must uphold and improve the "one country, two systems" system. If we persist in the system for a long time, we will inevitably encounter problems that need to keep pace with the times: "Without persistence, there seems to be a problem with the foundation and direction of the system. Without perfection, the system will easily lose its vitality and vitality." He said that it is not very realistic and feasible to ask people 20 or 30 years ago to set out in the law how to solve the current problems.
He said that the predecessors put forward the great concept of "one country, two systems" and enacted two "Basic Laws". go ahead.
Shen Chunyao said that the advantages of Hong Kong and Macau should be brought into play and utilized. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China mentioned supporting the integration of Hong Kong and Macau into the overall development situation, forming a broader united front for supporting "one country, two systems" at home and abroad, and resolutely combating "anti-China chaos in Hong Kong" forces and external forces interfering in Hong Kong and Macau affairs .
One country, two systems is not a tripartite separation of powers, administrative dominance is a clear requirement
Ma Fung-kwok, a representative of the Hong Kong People's Congress and a member of the Legislative Council of the Election Committee, asked about the core requirements and tasks for Hong Kong's "comprehensive, accurate and unswerving implementation of one country, two systems".
Shen Chunyao pointed out that in order to adhere to "one country, two systems" for a long time, it must be fully and accurately implemented, otherwise it will not be good or firm.
He said that "comprehensive, accurate and unswerving implementation of one country, two systems" must be reflected in practice and substantive work. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to insist on executive leadership, which is a clear and distinct requirement. It emphasizes that "one country, two systems" is not the separation of powers. Think about whether Hong Kong has fully and accurately grasped these requirements in the past period of time.
