Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday during celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China that his country would stay committed to the so-called one country, two systems principle with regard to Hong Kong, APA reports citing Sputnik.
"Moving forward, we must adhere to the 'peaceful unification' and 'one country, two systems' principles, maintain prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macau, promote the peaceful development of relations between the two shores of the Taiwan Strait, unite all the sons and daughters of China, and continue to strive for the full unification of our homeland," Xi said while addressing the event.
Protesters in Hong Kong have pledged to organize more rallies in different districts on Tuesday, a day on which big celebrations, including a military parade, are being held in the Chinese capital to mark the 70th anniversary of China's founding. On Monday, Hong Kong's Appeal Board on Public Meetings and Processions upheld the police's decision to ban the planned protests and rallies.
