To be frank, we shall be paying close attention to developments during the remaining thirteen years of the transition period in Hong Kong. So long as we make proper arrangements for this period, we are not worried about what will happen after 1997.

• 坦率地说，在香港问题上，我们非常关注十三年过渡时期，只要过渡时期安排好了，我们并不担心一九九七年后的事情。
