On the 20th, the Information Office of the State Council issued a white paper on the democratic development of Hong Kong under "one country, two systems", which comprehensively reviewed the emergence and development of democracy in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and further clarified the central government's principled position on the democratic development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The white paper points out that Hong Kong has no democracy under British colonial rule. The Chinese government has resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, implemented the principle of "one country, two systems", established the democratic system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and supported its continuous development and improvement in practice. It is obvious to all that the determination, sincerity and great efforts of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government to establish and develop democracy in Hong Kong are consistent. The white paper said that in recent years, the Anti China forces against Hong Kong, with the purpose of seizing the governance power of the Special Administrative Region and implementing the "Color Revolution", have challenged the bottom line of the principle of "one country, two systems", impacted the constitutional order of the Special Administrative Region, undermined the rule of law in Hong Kong, and carried out various activities endangering national security and harming Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. Facts have repeatedly shown that the Anti China forces disturbing Hong Kong and the external hostile forces behind them are the culprits hindering the democratic development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The white paper points out that the Communist Party of China and the central government have judged the situation, made major decisions to improve the exercise of comprehensive governance over the Special Administrative Region in accordance with the Constitution and the basic law, and improved the systems and mechanisms related to the implementation of the Constitution and the basic law, promoted the establishment and improvement of the legal system and implementation mechanism of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for safeguarding national security, and improved the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, We will firmly implement the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong". This series of measures to address both the symptoms and root causes has promoted the situation in Hong Kong to achieve a major turning point from chaos to governance, and promoted the democratic development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to return to the right track. The white paper points out that developing and improving democracy in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is of great significance to protecting the democratic rights of Hong Kong residents, realizing good governance and ensuring Hong Kong's long-term prosperity, stability and stability. "One country, two systems" provides a fundamental guarantee for the democratic development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. To ensure that the practice of "one country, two systems" is stable and far-reaching and to continue to promote the democratic development of Hong Kong, we must resolutely implement the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong". We must explore the path of democratic development with Hong Kong characteristics in accordance with the principle of "one country, two systems" and the basic law and in line with Hong Kong's political, economic, social, cultural and historical conditions. The white paper says that as a great initiative of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government, the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong has achieved great success, showing strong vitality and institutional toughness. The Communist Party of China and the Chinese government have the confidence, wisdom and ability to manage and build both the mainland with a socialist system and Hong Kong with a capitalist system, and to build and develop democracy in line with the actual situation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The white paper points out that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is ushering in a new stage of bringing order out of chaos, governance and prosperity. A Hong Kong with political democracy, sound rule of law, freedom and openness, inclusiveness and harmony, prosperity and stability, with the motherland in mind and facing the world will be better presented to the world, and the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong will achieve greater success.
