Page 41 - REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE GOVERNMENT

Hong Kong and Macao are administered by patriots.
We should support Hong Kong and Macao in growing their economies and

improving the lives of their people and maintain long-term prosperity and stability
in the two regions.
We should implement our Party’s overall policy for the new era on resolving
the Taiwan question, adhere to the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus,

and take resolute steps to oppose “Taiwan independence” and promote
reunification. We should promote the peaceful development of cross-Strait
relations and advance the process of China’s peaceful reunification.
As we Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family bound by

blood, we should advance economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation
across the Taiwan Strait and improve the systems and policies that contribute to
the wellbeing of our Taiwan compatriots. We should encourage people on both
sides of the Strait to jointly promote Chinese culture and advance China’s
rejuvenation.

We should stay committed to an independent foreign policy of peace and to
peaceful development and pursue friendship and cooperation with other countries
on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.
We should remain firm in pursuing a strategy of opening up for mutual benefit.

We should continue working to safeguard world peace, contribute to global
development, and uphold the international order.
China stands ready to work with the international community to put into
action the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative and

promote the shared values of humanity.
Let us join hands to promote the building of a human community with a
shared future and safeguard world peace and regional stability.

Fellow Deputies,
Great achievements can only come from hard work; a bright future can only be
secured through solid efforts.
Let us rally more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi
Jinping at its core, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese

characteristics, follow the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with
Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and fully implement the guiding principles
from the Party’s 20th National Congress.
