Hong Kong needs 'one country, two systems' to thrive
Hong Kong needs 'one country, two systems' to thrive Updated: 2017-07-01 08:30 The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region turns 20 today. The fact is all their accusations against the central authorities concerning "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" and high degree of autonomy are based on deliberate misinterpretation of the Basic Law instead of hard facts. As for interpretation of different articles of the Basic Law by the National People's Congress Standing Committee, it was absolutely necessary because hostile forces bent on undermining "one country, two systems" tried to mislead the public with misinterpretations of the Basic Law to justify unconstitutional intents, such as "self-determination" and "Hong Kong independence". In the past 20 years Hong Kong has overcome a number of very serious challenges and grown stronger and smarter in terms of handling potentially disastrous situations, thanks to unreserved support from the central government and mainland compatriots as well as "one country, two systems".
