Chinese President Xi Jinping on a rare visit to the global financial hub after swearing in the city’s new leader, John Lee, has said that there is no reason to change Hong Kong’s “one country, two systems” formula of governance.
Xi said it must be maintained over the long term, as after experiencing ups and downs, everyone can painfully feel that Hong Kong cannot be chaotic, and must not become chaotic again, but must eliminate all interference and concentrate on development.”
Lee, a former police officer, further emphasised the rule of law as being fundamental to the financial hub’s success in his speech.
