As Hong Kong continues to navigate its unique position under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle, residents are reflecting on how this framework has shaped their lives and the city’s development. Since its introduction, the principle has been instrumental in transforming Hong Kong into a global financial, commercial, and transportation hub.
The investment and business expansion of Hong Kong enterprises into the Chinese mainland have not only bolstered economic ties but also expanded the scope of Hong Kong’s professional services. Many believe that “One Country, Two Systems” provides a fundamental guarantee for the city’s democratic development and social stability.
Ngan Manyu, a member of the Legislative Council of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, shared her insights on the impact of the principle. “Since the implementation of ‘One Country, Two Systems,’ the flow of people and funds between Hong Kong and the mainland has increased significantly,” she said. “Our society has continued to develop and become more stable.”
Residents echo these sentiments, noting that the increased interaction with the mainland has opened up new opportunities for business and cultural exchange. The continued success of “One Country, Two Systems” is seen by many as crucial for Hong Kong’s future prosperity.
