On 1 July, President Xi attended the Inaugural Ceremony and swore in the Chief Executive, Mr John Lee Ka-chiu, and Principal Officials and delivered an address afterwards. President Xi raised “four musts” for the new administration: we must fully and faithfully implement the principle of “One Country, Two Systems”; we must uphold the Central Government’s overall jurisdiction while securing the HKSAR’s high degree of autonomy; we must ensure that Hong Kong is administered by patriots; and we must maintain Hong Kong’s distinctive status and advantages. President Xi also laid down “four proposals” for the newly inaugurated Government, i.e. further improving its governance, continuing to create strong impetus for growth, earnestly addressing people’s concerns and difficulties in daily life, and working together to safeguard harmony and stability.
