On New Year's Eve, the fireworks on both sides of Victoria Harbor are shining brightly, showing the harmony and beauty of the Pearl of the Orient to the world.
Friends and citizens!
President Xi Jinping has always cared about Hong Kong.
When he inspected Hong Kong on July 1 last year, he pointed out that "Hong Kong is in a new stage from chaos to governance to governance and prosperity", and put forward "four hopes" for the SAR government and all sectors of society.
Not long ago, in his New Year's message, he said, "I am very pleased to see that Hong Kong will be governed and prosperous."
"Governance and prosperity" is President Xi Jinping's earnest expectation for Hong Kong, and it is also the common wish of all Hong Kong residents.
Like everyone else, the Liaison Office cherishes Hong Kong's current "government" situation and earnestly hopes that Hong Kong will strengthen its "prosperity" momentum and further create a new situation of governance and prosperity.
Here, I would like to share with you three points of view.
To make the momentum of "Xing" 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.
Hong Kong's achievements today are due to the joint efforts of several generations of Hong Kong residents, riding on the mighty wind of the country's reform and opening up, and relying on the historical trend of national rejuvenation.
At present, the Chinese-style modernization process is unfolding magnificently. The strong resilience and vitality of China's economic development have been tested in practice. We are getting closer and closer to the great dream of national rejuvenation.
The International Monetary Fund and other institutions predict that with the adjustment and optimization of the mainland's epidemic prevention and control policies, China's economic growth this year will make a greater contribution to the recovery of the world economy. The world is generally optimistic about China and looks forward to China.
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.
The momentum of "Xing" is stronger, which requires us to actively participate in international exchanges and cooperation, and enhance our core competitiveness in the process of consolidating our unique position and advantages.
"One country, two systems" is Hong Kong's biggest advantage.
On the basis of adhering to the "one country principle" and giving full play to the advantages of "two systems", this is the path to Hong Kong's success along the way.
Backed by the motherland, connected to the world, having a free, open and standardized business environment, maintaining the common law system, smooth and convenient international connections, etc., these are the unique advantages of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong has a unique position in the global economic structure, with a blend of eastern and western cultures and investors from all over the world. The central government has always supported Hong Kong in building a vibrant international metropolis.
Recently, the long-awaited normal customs clearance has been realized, and exchanges and cooperation with various aspects of the mainland have been fully resumed.
To add new momentum in the new stage, Hong Kong needs to give full play to its unique advantages, carry out extensive exchanges and cooperation with other parts of the world, continuously consolidate and improve traditional advantages such as international finance, shipping, and trade centers, and accelerate the establishment of an international innovation and technology center and cultural and artistic exchanges between China and foreign countries. Center and other new 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.
The kinetic energy of "Xing" is stronger, which requires us to be unswerving in entrepreneurship and gather strong synergy in united struggle.
Hong Kong compatriots have always had a fine tradition of being tolerant and helping each other, seeking common ground while reserving differences, striving for self-improvement, and striving to win. The essence of this spirit is unity and struggle.
Hong Kong is our common home. We have written the legend of Xiangjiang in history with united efforts. We still need to work together to promote the governance and prosperity of Hong Kong and create a better life.
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.
Entrepreneurship requires a harmonious and stable social environment.
We must cherish the hard-won "governance" situation, resolutely safeguard the constitutional order of the SAR established by the Constitution and the Basic Law, resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and vigorously promote the principle of "one country, two systems" with love for the country and Hong Kong as the core Compatible with the mainstream values, condensed a strong force of unity and struggle.
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.
Friends and citizens!
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 juncture where the "two critical periods" meet, we are full of hope and confidence in a Hong Kong that is free from governance and prosperous.
I firmly believe that with the firm support of the great motherland, the solid guarantee of "one country, two systems", the strenuous efforts of the SAR government and all walks of life, and the unremitting efforts of Hong Kong citizens, Hong Kong's "prosperity" will definitely become stronger.
In the new year, the Liaison Office will continue to perform its duties in accordance with the law, fully support the Chief Executive and the SAR government in governing in accordance with the law, and work with all sectors of society and citizens to jointly promote Hong Kong's governance and prosperity.
I wish the general public to have a big wallet, good health, smooth work and all wishes come true in the new year!
thank you all!
