At the Meeting Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Macao’s Return to the Motherland, President Xi Jinping delivered an important speech in which he articulated profound conclusions regarding the unique institutional advantages of the “One Country, Two Systems” principle and its practical implementation in Hong Kong and Macao. He clearly noted that the “One Country, Two Systems” principle, with its distinctive institutional advantages and strong vitality, is a good system that sustains the long-term prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao, and we must stay committed to the cause. It is also a good system for ensuring peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit between different social systems, embodying the values of peace, inclusiveness, openness and sharing. In today's complex geopolitical landscape, President Xi’s speech carries even greater significance and instils deeper confidence.
