According to the Basic Law of the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, Macao people independently administer Macao, and the administrative and legislative organs of the Macao Special Administrative Region are composed of Macao natives and permanent residents of the Region.
According to this principle, Macao's previous social and economic system and way of life will remain unchanged, and its laws will remain basically unchanged. The original special industries will continue to operate according to law, residents' lives will continue as usual, and the characteristics of the intersection of eastern and western cultures will continue to be maintained.
The SAR Government has a high degree of autonomy and handles its internal affairs independently according to law. The central government, central departments, central institutions in Macao and provinces and cities shall not interfere in the affairs within the autonomy of the Macao Special Administrative Region. It embodies the coexistence of one country, two systems and fully conforms to the fundamental interests of the country and the nation and the development requirements of Macao.
The specific contents of "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" are as follows:
Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong means that the China government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997. After the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China people in Hong Kong will rule Hong Kong. Deng Xiaoping's policy is based on the concept of one country, two systems.
Under the guidance of this idea, the Basic Law of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Special Administrative Region was promulgated, and the first Chief Executive and government members of the Region were successfully elected. Hong Kong basically maintained a stable and prosperous situation during the transition period, and continued to maintain steady development after the reunification.
