Friday will be the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong SAR, and it will mark the halfway point of the promised 50 years without change under the One Country, Two Systems principle.
Security has been beefed up as President Xi Jinping is expected to begin a two-day visit to Hong Kong today (Thursday) for celebrations marking the SAR’s return to the mainland.
So, at this halfway point, how has One Country Two System been working so far? How will it develop going forward? And will it last well beyond the initial 50-year timeframe?
After 9.15am, we’ll be speaking to the Chief Executive Officer of the CUHK Medical Centre to look at what lessons Hong Kong can learn from the Covid-19 pandemic.

On today’s programme, we’re talking about the transmission cable bridge fire in Yuen Long, which caused a massive power outage in New Territories West on Tuesday night.
Some 160,000 households from Yuen Long, to Tuen Mun and Tin Shui Wai were left without electricity, while hospital and train services were disrupted. More than a dozen schools were also forced to suspend classes yesterday as a result.
CLP Power said electricity supplies were restored yesterday, but it stressed that the power supply may be unstable.
Were you affected? How did such a large scale outage happen? Could it happen again?
After 9.15am, we’ll speak to the Sports Commissioner about the delay in the opening of the Kai Tai Sports Park
