The Macao Polytechnic Institute (IPM) said in a statement yesterday that it will hold a virtual seminar on “Public Policy in the Practice of ‘One Country, Two Systems’” next week.
The statement noted that this year is “a new historical starting point” for the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR).
“The problem of how to meet the new opportunities and respond to the new challenges in the new era, and how to understand and implement the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ policy in a more comprehensive and accurate manner requires not only a conscientious summary of Macau’s past experience in the practice of ‘One Country, Two Systems’ policy, but also a deliberate analysis of the future prospects of ‘One Country, Two Systems’ in Macau,” the statement said.
According to the statement, it is necessary to examine and analyse how Macau continues to advance the development of “One Country, Two Systems” from the perspective of public administration, as well as how Macau continues to deepen the connotation of “One Country, Two Systems” from the perspective of law.
For this purpose, the One Country Two Systems Research Centre of the Macao Polytechnic Institute will hold a seminar on “Public Policy in the Practice of ‘One Country, Two Systems’” next Tuesday, according to the statement.
Invited experts and scholars from different disciplines include Prof. Chen Xinxin, the Institute of Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS); Prof. Shi Jiayou, Renmin University of China Law School; Prof. Qin Aolei, the School of Law of China University of Political Science and Law; Prof. Zhu Yingping, the Law School of East China University of Political Science and Law; Prof. Zheng Ge, the Koguan School of Law of Shanghai Jiao Tong University; Prof. Yang Jiejun, the School of Law, Humanities and Sociology of Wuhan University of Technology; Associate Professor Sun Ying, the School of Law of Sun Yat-Sen University; Prof. Tu Guangjian and Senior Instructor Kong Wa, the Faculty of Law of the University of Macau (UM); Prof. Li Xiaoping and Associate Professor Zhu Shihai, the Faculty of Law of the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST); Prof. Ip Kuai Peng, City University of Macau; Assistant Professor Li Hongjiang, the School of Law of City University of Macau; Prof. Xu Chang, Associate Professor Li Yanping and Ji Chaoyuan of the “One Country, Two Systems” Research Centre of the Macao Polytechnic Institute.
“Aiming to facilitate the growth of the MSAR in the new era, the seminar covers discussions on the theoretical and practical new issues during the implementation of ‘One Country, Two Systems’ policy such as the central-local relationship, anti-pandemic cooperation mechanism, public health, the coordination of economic and social development and national security,” the statement said.
It is hoped, according to the statement, that the seminar will play a significant role in safeguarding the interests of national sovereignty, security and development, motivating the long-term prosperity and stability of Macau’s civil society, and ensuring that the practice of “One Country, Two Systems” keeps progressing in a positive direction.
The seminar will be held next Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on ZOOM. Local residents, teachers, college students and other people interested in the topic are welcome to participate, the statement said.
