There is every good reason for China to want Hong Kong to continue to succeed. I firmly believe,and I know many in this room share the same conviction,that if Hong Kong succeeds,China will benefit; and if China succeeds,Hong Kong will benefit even more.

• 中国希望本港继续成功的理由显而易见，我坚信如果香港好，国家也会好，国家好，香港会更好，我也知道在座各位都有同一的信念。
