China held a seminar on Wednesday morning to commemorate the 10th anniversary of implementing the Basic Law of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).
Chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress Wu Bangguo and Vice President Zeng Qinghong attended the seminar.
Delivering a speech at the seminar, Wu said what has happened has proved and will continue to prove that "one country, two systems" is workable and feasible and the Basic Law is a sound law able to withstand the test of practice.
Wu emphasized that Hong Kong must uphold state sovereignty, exercise a high degree of autonomy and ensure prosperity and stability.
Being an administrative region directly under the central
government, Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy is authorized by the central
government, Wu said.
