In a pivotal moment for the Chinese mainland, 2025 marks the conclusion of the 14th Five-Year Plan and the launchpad for the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). With global challenges and changing dynamics, Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasized that development and security must go hand-in-hand.
As a core part of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region governing team, LegCo has embraced its unshirkable responsibility to support national development. By scrutinizing key legislation and stepping up cybersecurity measures, the council is turning challenges into opportunities. Just like assembling your favorite superhero team, LegCo’s decisive actions are uniting efforts to drive high-quality development and uplift living standards in Hong Kong! 🚀
Enhancing Security & Resilience
LegCo’s commitment to national security is evident. The unanimous approval of the Safeguarding National Security Bill in March 2024, combined with careful oversight of subsidiary legislation under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, lays a solid foundation for a stable future. In addition, the passage of the Protection of Critical Infrastructures (Computer Systems) Bill boosts cybersecurity, ensuring that Hong Kong remains resilient against evolving risks and cyberattacks.
Recent global indices add to the positive outlook—Hong Kong was recognized in the World Competitiveness Yearbook 2025 as the third most globally competitive economy. This achievement reaffirms investor confidence and positions Hong Kong as a dynamic hub for trade, finance, and innovation.
Looking ahead, LegCo’s proactive role in supporting the formulation and implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan is key to safeguarding national interests and fostering economic growth. As legislative initiatives and strategic measures continue to shape the region, the future of Hong Kong looks both secure and prosperous.
