Premier Li Keqiang Meets the Press: Full Transcript of Questions and Answers


Phoenix TV: At this year's NPC Session, a decision was adopted on establishing and improving the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for safeguarding national security in the Hong Kong SAR. The Standing Committee of the NPC will also set in motion a legislative process in this respect. Does this mean that the Central Government has adjusted its policy toward Hong Kong and abandoned "one country, two systems"? How do you respond to the various comments in this respect?
Premier Li: "One country, two systems" is China's basic state policy. The Central Government has all along fully and faithfully implemented the "one country, two systems" under which the people of Hong Kong administer Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy, acted in strict accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law, and supported the Hong Kong SAR government and the Chief Executive in exercising administration according to law. The decision adopted at the NPC Session to safeguard national security is designed for the steady implementation of "one country, two systems" and for Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability.
