Xi said the country would "continue to be fully and faithfully implement the principles of 'one country, two systems'" and a "high degree of autonomy." The statement comes as China prepares for a highly-choreographed anniversary celebration on October 1, including a huge military parade and anniversary gala, which protesters in Hong Kong are hoping to upstage.
