On the morning of January 17, Zheng Yanxiong, director of the Joint Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, visited Li Jiachao, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), at the Protocol House, and sent him New Year greetings. Li Jiachao once again welcomed Zheng Yanxiong as the director of the Central Government Liaison Office in Hong Kong and the National Security Affairs Adviser of the National Security Commission of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The two sides exchanged views on the current social situation in Hong Kong and how to promote the rule and prosperity of Hong Kong. Zheng Yanxiong said that he worked closely with Chief Executive Li Jiachao during his tenure as Director of the National Security Administration in Hong Kong. After serving as the director of the Joint Office of the CPC Central Committee, he will lead all his colleagues, as always, to further strengthen the regular communication with the Chief Executive and the SAR government, widely listen to the views of all sectors of Hong Kong society, and fully respect and fully support the Chief Executive and the SAR government in their law-based governance. During the exchange, it was agreed that Hong Kong was at a new stage from chaos to governance to governance and prosperity. It was necessary to fully, accurately and unswervingly implement the principle of "one country, two systems", maintain the constitutional order of the Special Administrative Region as determined by the Constitution and the Basic Law, adhere to the unity of the comprehensive governance power of the central government and the guarantee of the high degree of autonomy of the Special Administrative Region, and implement the principle of "the patriot governing Hong Kong". We should give full play to Hong Kong's advantages and characteristics, vigorously develop the economy, improve people's livelihood, constantly enhance the momentum of development, and promote Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability. We should take the initiative to align national strategies such as the "14th Five Year Plan", the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, and the high-quality development of the "the Belt and Road", so as to better integrate into the overall national development situation. Both sides firmly believe that with the care of the central government for Hong Kong, the strong backing of the strong motherland, and the joint efforts of all sectors of Hong Kong society, Hong Kong will consolidate the current situation of "governance", enhance the momentum of "prosperity", further create a new situation of "governance and prosperity", and make new and greater contributions to the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
