Thursday marks the 42nd anniversary of the introduction of \"One Country, Two Systems,\" a principle that has significantly shaped Hong Kong's development.
The investment and business expansion of Hong Kong enterprises in the mainland have contributed to the evolution of Hong Kong into an international financial, commerce, and transportation center. This strategic partnership has also expanded the scope of Hong Kong's professional services.
Beyond economic growth, the principle provides a fundamental guarantee for the development of democracy in Hong Kong, fostering a stable and progressive society.
To understand the local sentiment, CGTN interviewed residents in Hong Kong about the effects of this policy. Ngan Manyu, a member of the Legislative Council of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, stated that since the implementation of \"One Country, Two Systems,\" the flow of personnel and funds between Hong Kong and the mainland has been increasing. This increase has led to continued societal development and enhanced stability in Hong Kong.
