Here are the objectives of Xi’s visit to Hong Kong

Why is Chinese President Xi Jinping's trip to Hong Kong on July 1st important? The article by Giuseppe Gagliano

Why is Chinese President Xi Jinping's trip to Hong Kong on July 1st important? For a number of reasons, of great importance.

First, this trip will serve to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's membership in mainland China.

Secondly, the Chinese president intends to make Hong Kong lose its name by giving it another one, namely Southern Shenzhen: this name should officially enter into force starting from 2024.

The third reason depends on the fact that the Chinese president intends to implement a new economic strategy for Hong Kong, which envisages the creation of residential areas for about 300 m precisely in a geographical area bordering the border with China.

Despite attempts by Anglo-American intelligence to counter the Chinese presence in Hong Kong, students starting in the new school year will take a civics course which will aim to strengthen their belonging to China. The new textbooks that Hong Kong students will adopt, therefore, will have to present a narrative that conforms to China's political goals. Furthermore, foreign teachers, in order to teach in Hong Kong schools, must swear allegiance to the regime.
