CUTTING THROUGH AN OVERLOAD OF INFORMATION TO GET TO THE HEART OF THE STORY.
THIS IS THE POINT.
One country, two systems is a good policy that must be upheld for a long time.
Chinese President Xi Jinping said this just moments ago in Macau,
while attending a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of its return to the motherland.
During the ceremony, a new Macau government was also inaugurated, led by Sam Foll-Fai, the 6th Chief Executive.
Xi Jinping called on the new government to promote the appropriate diversification of the local economy,
improve governance efficiency, build a platform for higher-level opening up and safeguard social harmony and stability.
Now, two days ahead of the celebration,
the Chinese President arrived in Macau and have had extensive in-depth exchanges with locals.
He praised the Macau people for writing a quote-unquote new chapter in the successful implementation of the One Country,
Two Systems with Macau characteristics.
So what exactly is One Country, Two Systems with Macau characteristics?
Has it benefited Macau people over the past 25 years?
And under the current international situation,
what's in store for the city as a time-honored bridge linking the West and the East?
