China Daily  

HONG KONG -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday delivered a speech at the welcome dinner held by the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Over the last two decades, the practice of "One Country, Two Systems" in Hong Kong, like the growth of a seedling, has become strong and robust despite wind and rain and yielded many fruits. More importantly, the practice of "One Country, Two Systems" has given Hong Kong an institutional advantage, enabling it both to share in the mainland's vast market and development opportunities and serve as a testing ground for the country's new opening-up initiatives, and this gives Hong Kong an edge in pursuing development. We should have full confidence in ourselves, in Hong Kong and in our country, fully and faithfully implement the policies of "One Country, Two Systems", "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy, abide by the Basic Law of the HKSAR, and make focused and concerted efforts to pursue development.
