1. Upholding one country, two systems and promoting the reunification of the motherland are inevitable requirements for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation
In modern times, China has experienced a tragic history of more than 100 years of broken mountains and rivers and the ravages of our compatriots.
After searching from top to bottom and going through untold hardships, the Chinese nation finally established New China under the correct leadership of the Communist Party of China, realized the complete reunification of the motherland, established the socialist system, and embarked on the great journey of building its own country.
History tells us that completing the reunification of the motherland, safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and then realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation have deeply melted into the historical consciousness of the Chinese nation and become the rock-solid common pursuit of all Chinese people.
In the early days of reform and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping set his sights on realizing the complete reunification of the country and creatively put forward the idea with extraordinary wisdom and courage
The great concept of "one country, two systems" was first successfully applied to the settlement of the Hong Kong and Macao issues left over from history.
In 1997 and 1999, Hong Kong and Macao were successfully returned to the motherland and reintegrated into the national governance system.
Since then, Hong Kong and Macao have continued to develop in the embrace of the motherland and maintained long-term prosperity and stability.
From 1997 to 2017, Hong Kong's GDP increased from HK$1.37 trillion to HK$2.66 trillion, the market capitalization of the Hong Kong stock market increased from HK$3.2 trillion to HK$27.9 trillion, and the number of listed companies on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange increased from 619 to 2020.
From 1999 to 2017, Macao's GDP grew from MOP51.872 billion to MOP404.2 billion, and the number of inbound tourists increased from less than 8 million to more than 32.6 million.
As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out,
The practice of "one country, two systems" has achieved universally recognized success. It turns out that
"One country, two systems" is the best solution to the problems of Hong Kong and Macao left over from history, and is also the best system for maintaining long-term prosperity and stability after the return of Hong Kong and Macao.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and under the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,
The successful practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong and Macao has been further promoted, and cross-strait relations have achieved peaceful development.
The Central Government has firmly grasped the overall jurisdiction of the Central Government over Hong Kong and Macao as conferred by the Constitution and the Basic Law, deepened the cooperation and development between the Mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, supported Hong Kong and Macao in finding the right position and giving full play to their strengths in the overall national development strategy, and properly responded to and handled a series of major issues, so that the development momentum of Hong Kong and Macao has become stronger, the development space is broader, and the development prospects are brighter, and the confidence of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots in maintaining prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao, and in national development and national rejuvenation has been continuously strengthened.
The cause of "one country, two systems" has opened up a new situation. Cross-strait political relations have achieved historic breakthroughs, leaders of the two sides of the strait have met for the first time since 1949, cross-strait economic and social integration and development have been vigorously promoted, people-to-people exchanges in various fields have continued to be warm, and the one-China pattern of the international community has become more stable. We should properly respond to changes in the situation in Taiwan, strengthen policy declarations, clearly draw red lines, and resolutely oppose and contain them
The "Taiwan independence" separatist forces have vigorously maintained peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. Practice has proved that after the exploration and practice since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,
The cause of "one country, two systems" has opened up a new realm.
The theory of "one country, two systems" has been further enriched and developed, and the process of national reunification has entered a new historical stage.
