‘[We] support Hong Kong and Macau to develop the economy, improving the lives of their people, and deepening international exchanges and cooperation,’ he says.
Premier Li Qiang urged Hong Kong to leverage its global role and deepen international cooperation while upholding its constitutional order. He reaffirmed "one country, two systems" and pledged to boost the Greater Bay Area's innovation capacity. This emphasis comes amid increasing Sino-US tensions and US actions like new tariffs and pressure leading to a CK Hutchison Holdings port sale. Li stressed navigating a complex external environment through international collaboration.
