Securing a better tomorrow for Hong Kong

Securing a better tomorrow for Hong Kong Updated: 2017-07-01 08:30 As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's reunification with the motherland, it might be interesting to explore some concrete ways for building a better tomorrow for this great city. Taken together, Hong Kong's educational system will be much more effective and rewarding, and the city's mission to build a successful innovation industry more likely if the above lessons are learned. A more determined effort to help young people strengthen their faith in the future in Hong Kong by providing better housing and other living conditions is also vital. In the end, a strong and able government leadership is obviously of utmost importance to building a better tomorrow for Hong Kong.
