President's widely welcomed visit 'reaffirms support'

Liaison Office chief recounts positive feedback from residents after Xi's tour

President Xi Jinping's visit to Hong Kong reaffirmed the central government's care and support for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and firm stance in maintaining the "one country, two systems" principle, which has been well-received among the city's people, the central government's top liaison official in the city concluded on Saturday.

Zhang Xiaoming, director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR, made the remarks at the airport as Xi finished his three-day tour marking the 20th anniversary of the city's return to China and inaugurating its fifth-term government.
