HK Could Be Envy Of Capitalist World: Wang Zhimin

The director of Beijing's liaison office, Wang Zhimin, says he’s committed to helping Chief Executive Carrie Lam build a better Hong Kong that will be envied by other capitalist societies.

During a spring reception dinner with senior government officials on Sunday, Wang said he will follow President Xi Jinping’s instructions to help the Hong Kong leader develop the city, in strict accordance with the "One Country, Two Systems" principle.

A statement posted on the office’s website quoted Wang as describing Lam's administration as being resolute, patriotic and willing to shoulder its responsibilities.

Wang also said Lam has done a lot to improve the city's economy and the livelihoods of the people.
