Just why is Beijing calling for ‘capable’ Hong Kong lawmakers?
Beijing's "two sessions" have reaffirmed Hong Kong's unique role in China's national development, particularly in deepening international exchanges and cooperation. Premier Li Qiang's work report emphasized the central government's support for Hong Kong and Macau in growing their economies and improving the lives of their people, highlighting Hong Kong's function as a superconnector.
This explicit mention of Hong Kong's role in facilitating China's opening up, last seen in the 2017 work report, underscores the city's continued importance as a window to the world. Chief Executive John Lee has pledged to use "creative thinking" to accelerate Hong Kong's development into an international innovation and technology hub, ensuring the city meets the central government's expectations in a rapidly changing global landscape.
