Hong Kong is good, the motherland is good, the motherland is good and Hong Kong is better.
In the past 25 years, Hong Kong has successfully resisted major shocks such as the Asian financial crisis, the SARS epidemic and the international financial crisis, and consolidated its position as an international financial, shipping and trade center.
"As the strongest backing, the country is the most important force in solving problems in Hong Kong." Li Jiachao said that Hong Kong’s ability to break through the predicament and further improve itself is not only supported by its own talents, systems and citizens’ unity, but also inseparable from the support of the state.
Lee Ka Chiu John said that Hong Kong, as a part of the whole country, "Hong Kong is good, the motherland is good, the motherland is good and Hong Kong is better".
He said that Hong Kong is an effective bridge and channel connecting the mainland and the international community, and should make good use of its unique advantages as much as possible to contribute to the country’s development.
Lee Ka Chiu John pointed out that the outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan defines Hong Kong as four traditional centers and four emerging centers. Hong Kong should give full play to its own advantages, enhance the international competitiveness of the eight centers, and follow this direction to better and faster integrate into the overall situation of national development.
Taking the international financial center as an example, he analyzed that Hong Kong is the largest offshore RMB business hub in the world, which can not only play a role in promoting the internationalization of RMB, but also benefit Hong Kong, with unlimited opportunities. Therefore, the SAR government must "do a good job in expanding and giving full play to the positioning of the SAR in the outline of the 14 th Five-Year Plan", which is an important step to promote the work.
Looking back on the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong, Lee Ka Chiu John believes that the initial intention of the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong is to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country and maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong. In the past 25 years, "one country, two systems" has been successfully implemented in Hong Kong.
"Although it has gone through some ups and downs, Hong Kong has become more resilient and energetic after every challenge." He said, "We want to make Hong Kong more successful and take a higher step in overall development and international reputation, which is to promote ‘ One country, two systems ’ One of the most critical goals. "
Lee Ka Chiu John particularly emphasized the need to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests. He said: it is the constitutional responsibility of the Hong Kong SAR to do a good job in the legislative work related to Article 23 of the Hong Kong Basic Law. "We will do sufficient legal research to ensure that local legislation can handle the national security risks that may be involved in the future."
"Only by building a solid bottom line can Hong Kong move forward in an all-round way." Li Jiachao said that Hong Kong’s national security law and the new electoral system have laid a solid foundation for Hong Kong and created a good environment for the SAR government to do a good job in governance wholeheartedly, which should be cherished and guarded for a long time.

Lee Ka Chiu John attaches great importance to the employment of young people in Hong Kong.
"Young people can receive training from their own interests, whether they are mechanics in engineering, interested in sports, or want to be chefs. Different fields have different trainings, and after basic education, they can develop according to their own interests." He said.
Lee Ka Chiu John encourages young people in Hong Kong to expand their employment scope and choose the development path according to their own interests. He said that there are many opportunities for the development of mainland cities in Greater Bay Area, and Hong Kong youth can get employment support and many internship opportunities in these cities.
Lee Ka Chiu John sincerely hopes that young people in Hong Kong will be proud of both Hong Kong and the country. Not only understand the development of your country, but also tell your story overseas.
"Young people should know more about the difficulties and hardships experienced by the country, which will inspire their sense of national identity and national pride as China people." Li Jiachao said that in this way, they will be proud of the achievements made by the country.
Lee Ka Chiu John said that this goal can be achieved by strengthening school education, enhancing young people’s recognition of the country through movies and media, and organizing some activities to let young people experience the country’s development and progress.
"When the country has made great achievements, young people in Hong Kong will also have a sense of pride." For example, he said that not long ago, the national astronauts carried out a mission to explore space, and Hong Kong people were proud of this achievement, because there were also universities in Hong Kong that contributed to the national space mission. This will make more young people in Hong Kong feel involved, thus stimulating their patriotic feelings.
