Xi Jinping reaffirms China's governing principle for Hong Kong

The Hindu  

Chinese President Xi Jinping reaffirmed Beijing's commitment to follow the “one country, two systems” governing principle for Hong Kong on Friday, saying it is the “best arrangement” to maintain the city's prosperity and stability. “ fully supports the chief executive and the Hong Kong government to govern in accordance with the law, to promote international cooperation and better integrate into the national development plans,” Mr. Xi said during a meeting with Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee. Mr. Lee’s administration has reopened the city without causing major problems in the public healthcare system amid a rise in COVID-19 cases, and it has also worked on other healthcare and housing issues, said John Burns, an honorary professor of politics and public administration at the University of Hong Kong. Mr. Burns said Mr. Lee, appointed partly for his loyalty, has appeared too eager to push Hong Kong’s problems to the central government, pointing to his request for a Beijing ruling that could effectively block pro-democracy publisher Jimmy Lai from hiring a British lawyer.
