Hong Kong set to open new development chapter

The report delivered by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, at the 20th CPC National Congress marked an important milestone in China's new journey to build a modern socialist country and realize its second centenary goal. By leveraging the mainland's support while engaging with the world, Hong Kong can help facilitate the country's "bringing in "and "going global" efforts. Wang Wentao, minister of commerce, noted earlier that the mainland supports Hong Kong's bid to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership group as soon as possible, so that Hong Kong can help resolve investment disputes by using its renowned legal and dispute-resolution services, which will strengthen Hong Kong's role in promoting high-quality development in the Belt and Road regions. In the coming five years, all Hong Kong residents must uphold "one country, two systems", and work together in tackling the city's pain points. With a concerted effort to dovetail with national development, Hong Kong is to open a new chapter in its own socioeconomic development while contributing to turning China into a modern socialist country in all respects.
