>> And satisfactory performance and take on a new look of good governance.
Second, keep strengthening the momentum of development. Hong Kong enjoys a
unique position, favorable conditions, and broad space for development. The
central authorities fully support Hong Kong in seizing the historic
opportunities presented by our country's development and in aligning with
national strategies such as the 4-5 year plan, the development of the
Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and the high-quality development of
Belt and Road Cooperation. The central authority fully support Hong Kong in
developing more extensive and closer exchanges and cooperation with the world
and in attracting more people who aspire to start up businesses and fulfill
their dreams in Hong Kong. The central authorities also fully support Hong
Kong in advancing reforms in an active and prudent manner breaking the
impediments of vested interests and fully unleashing the enormous creativity
and development vitality of Hong Kong society. Third, take solid steps to
address difficulties in people's lives. As a Chinese saying goes, "Those who
get the benefits of the world take on responsibility for all and those who
enjoy the happiness of the world share concerns for all." As I have said,
meeting the people's aspirations for a better life is the goal of all our
work. At present what the people of Hong Kong decide the most are a better
life, a bigger apartment, more business start-up opportunities, better
education for kids, and better elderly care. What the people go for we must
strive to deliver. The new government of the SAR should deliver concrete
outcomes and live up to people's expectations. Give top priority to meeting
the aspirations of the whole community, especially ordinary people and act
with greater resolve and take more effective steps to address existing
problems so that more fruits of development will reach all people in Hong Kong
in a more equitable way. Each and every one of them will have greater
confidence that as long as they work hard, they are fully capable of making a
difference for themselves and their families. Fourth, jointly uphold harmony
and stability. Hong Kong is the common home for all these people and a
harmonious family will always prosper. Having gone through ups and downs,
people have learned the hard way that Hong Kong must not be destabilized and
cannot afford to see chaos. There is extensive consensus that no time should
be lost in Hong Kong's development and that all interference should be removed
so that Hong Kong can stay focused on development. Everyone living in Hong
Kong, regardless of their profession or believe, is a positive force for the
development of Hong Kong and can contribute their do share to Hong Kong's
development as long as they genuinely support the policy of one country, two
systems, love Hong Kong and abide by the basic law and the laws of the SAR. I
hope all Hong Kong compatriots will vigorously promote the mainstream values
that are centered on love of our country and love of Hong Kong. And consistent
with the policy of one country, two systems carry forward the tradition of
inclusiveness, solidarity, common ground without uniformity, perseverance and
I can do spirit and work together to create a better life. In particular, we
should care about young people. When young people thrive, Hong Kong thrives.
When young people grow, Hong Kong grows. When there is a future for young
people, there is a future for Hong Kong. We should help the young gain a keen
appreciation of the underlying trend in both our country and the world and
heighten their sense of national pride and ownership. We should help young
people overcome difficulties in education, employment, business startup, and
home buying, and create more opportunities for them to grow and shine. It is
our earnest hope that all young people in Hong Kong will join efforts to build
a better Hong Kong and write a splendid chapter in their life with a youthful
vigor. Fellow compatriots, dear friends, a line from a Chinese poem reads,
"How I wish I could saw the sky on the borrowed wings of a yellow crane." The
great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has become an irreversible historical
process. Ensuring the continued success of the practice of one country, two
systems in Hong Kong is an integral part of this historical process. We are
convinced that on the new journey of realizing our country's second centenary
goal, Hong Kong with the strong support of the great motherland and the solid
implementation of the policy of one country, two systems will surely achieve
even greater accomplishments and share together with fellow compatriots of the
motherland the glory of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Thank you.

anniversary of Hong Kong, returned to the Motherland and inauguration of the
sixth term government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Please
