Vice-President Li Yuanchao called on youth in Hong Kong to safeguard the rule of law and support the Hong Kong government to proceed with electoral reform in accordance with the Basic Law.
His call comes after a controversial poll and amid celebrations and protests on the anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China.
Li told about 2,000 Hong Kong youths at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Tuesday that the Basic Law is the most important constitutional guarantee of the "one country, two systems" policy and Hong Kong's stability and prosperity.
