How Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan Leaders View the CPC Plenary's Role in China’s Growth

Beijing, 9 Nov – The fifth full session of the 20th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party was hailed by leaders from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan as a pivotal driver for China’s next phase of high‑quality growth.

Tan Chin‑Chyo, head of Hong Kong’s Friends Association, said the plenary sent a clear signal that the Party will maintain strict, comprehensive management of its affairs. He noted that this resolve reflects the CPC’s century‑long dedication to self‑reform, and that Hong Kong plans to apply its unique advantages to support the nation’s modernization agenda.

Macau’s Legislative Council member Huang Chia‑lun pointed to the session’s focus on self‑renewal and self‑improvement as essential confidence‑builders for continuous national advancement. He reminded audiences that 2024 is the inaugural year of China’s 15th Five‑Year Plan as well as Macau’s third regional Five‑Year Plan, offering a strategic opening for Macau to integrate into the broader development framework.

Taiwan‑based commentator Wang Ping‑chong observed that the CPC’s guidance has lifted the Chinese people from poverty to a position of global strength—a transformation that the world can plainly see. He added that Chinese residents in Taiwan share the same aspirations, and that the key lies in the Party’s rigorous, all‑round management, which propels Chinese communities everywhere toward successive victories.

The consensus among the three regions underscores the plenary’s role as a catalyst for coordinated national effort, urging each area to contribute actively to China’s long‑term prosperity and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
