According to Deng Xiaoping, “one country, two systems” means there is only but one China and under this premise² the mainland adheres to the socialist³ system while Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan may retain their capitalist systems over a long time to come.

　　香港特别行政区成立以来，在中央政府和祖国内地的大力支持下，特别行政区政府团结带领香港各界人士，攻坚克难，砥砺奋进，充分发挥“一国两制”的制度优势，保持香港社会经济政治大局稳定，推动各项事业向前发展，不断取得新成就、新进步。

　　Since the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative⁴ Region (HKSAR), the government of the Special Administrative Region has, with energetic support from the central government and the mainland, rallied people of all walks of life in Hong Kong, worked hard and overcome difficulties, made full use of the advantage of the policy of “one country, two systems,” maintained overall social, economic and political stability, promoted the development of all undertakings⁵ and made new achievements one after another.

　　1997年至2013年，香港本地生产总值年均实质增长3.4%，人均本地生产总值按美元累计增长39.3%。根据国际货币基金组织2013年数据，按购买力平价(PPP)计算，香港本地生产总值位居全球第35位，人均本地生产总值位居全球第7位。

　　From 1997 to 2013, Hong Kong’s Gross Regional Product (GRP) grew by 3.4 percent annually⁶ in real terms, and its per-capita GRP increased by a total of 39.3 percent calculated in US dollar. According to the 2013 statistics of the International Monetary⁷ Fund (IMF), Hong Kong’s GRP and per-capita GRP, respectively, ranked the 35th and 7th in the world, as calculated by purchasing power parity⁸.

　　2013年底，香港人民币客户存款及存证余额达1.05万亿元人民币，同比增长46%;人民币贷款余额1156亿元人民币，未偿还的人民币债券余额3100亿元人民币。
