Unity is an important guarantee for the Chinese people and the Chinese nation to overcome all the risks and challenges on the path forward and to achieve new victories, Xi said.
Xi stressed the full and faithful implementation of the policies of "one country, two systems," "the people of Hong Kong governing Hong Kong," "the people of Macao governing Macao" and a high degree of autonomy, as well as the strict compliance with China's Constitution and the basic laws of the two special administrative regions.
He expressed confidence that Hong Kong and Macao will prosper and progress alongside the mainland, and that the regions will embrace a brighter future.
Xi underlined the adherence to the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus to push forward the peaceful development of relations across the Taiwan Strait, saying that the complete reunification of the motherland is a trend that no one or force can ever stop.
"We should hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, follow a path of peaceful development, adhere to opening up, and work with people from all other countries to build a community with a shared future for humanity, making the sunlight of peace and development shine brightly all over the globe," he noted.
"The Chinese people and Chinese nation that made the great accomplishments over the 70 years will surely compose new and more beautiful chapters of the times in their journey to reach the two centenary goals and realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation," Xi said.
