HONG KONG (Bloomberg): Hong Kong’s leader said China could continue guaranteeing the city its separate freedoms under the "one country, two systems” principle after it expires in 2047.
"My view is that, as long as we insist on the ‘one country, two systems’ principle, with the in-depth implementation of the principle and ample understanding, which fits the interests of Hong Kong citizens, then there is sufficient reason to believe that ‘one country, two systems’ will be practised smoothly in the long term, and will not be changed after 2047, ” Chief Executive Carrie Lam told lawmakers at a question-and-answer session at the city’s Legislative Council on Thursday (Jan 16).
