The conference has been going on for more than an hour. Do reporters from Macao want to ask questions? The reporter in the third row, please.

Macao Asia Satellite Television:

On August 25, Ho Iat Seng was elected fifth-term chief executive-designate of China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR). What are the expectations of the central government for the new Macao Chief Executive in his five-year tenure?

Yang Guang:

Thank you for your question. Mr. Ho Iat Seng qualifies for the central government's standard of a SAR Chief Executive in that he/she must be trusted by the central government; must love the country and Macao; must have capability in terms of governance; and must be supported by the people in Macao. Ho's success in being elected with a majority has fully demonstrated that he is widely supported and recognized by all sectors of Macao society. The central government plans to implement Ho's appointment procedure in accordance with the law.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Macao's return to the motherland. The practice of "one country, two systems" in Macao has come to a new historical starting point. We hope that all sectors of society in Macao support Mr. Ho Iat Song and carry forward the fine tradition of loving the motherland as well as Macao, fully and faithfully implementing the principle of "one country, two systems." We also hope they could firmly safeguard the authority of the Constitution and the Basic Law, working to improve the level of public governance in SAR and promoting appropriately diversified economic development. In this way, Macao is being encouraged to actively participate in the national developing endeavor, and, as a result, the practice of "one country, two system" will have even greater success in Macao. Thank you.
