Hong Kong celebrated a major milestone this weekend as the city marked the fifth anniversary of its national security law with a high-profile forum. The event, organized by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government, highlighted the law's role in transforming the region from 'chaos to stability' since its implementation in 2020. 🏙️
A New Era for 'One Country, Two Systems'
Xia Baolong, a senior Chinese official overseeing Hong Kong and Macao affairs, emphasized that the law has been pivotal in safeguarding national sovereignty while protecting the interests of residents and overseas investors. 'The national security law created a secure foundation for Hong Kong's prosperity,' he stated, likening it to a 'reset button' for the city's future.
What’s Next for Hong Kong?
With Hong Kong at a 'critical juncture,' Xia urged stronger efforts to uphold the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle—a framework ensuring the region’s unique identity within China. The forum also spotlighted the law’s role in fostering a stable environment for economic growth, tech innovation, and global partnerships. 💼🌐
