HK Proud of Success of "One Country, Two Systems"

Hong Kong is proud of its successful implementation of "one country, two systems," a government statement said Wednesday.

"Our continued prosperity is underpinned by our economic autonomy, free economy, minimum business restrictions, free flow of information and well developed infrastructure. With a favorable business environment, Hong Kong continues to be a vibrant international business and financial center," the statement said.

It said that Hong Kong has remained a free society and that the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region remains firmly committed to the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms, including the freedoms of speech, press, religion and assembly.

"We will continue to develop our political system in accordance with the Basic Law," it added.
