Friday will be the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong SAR, and it will mark the halfway point of the promised 50 years without change under the One Country, Two Systems principle.
Security has been beefed up as President Xi Jinping is expected to begin a two-day visit to Hong Kong today (Thursday) for celebrations marking the SAR’s return to the mainland.
So, at this halfway point, how has One Country Two System been working so far? How will it develop going forward? And will it last well beyond the initial 50-year timeframe?
After 9.15am, we’ll be speaking to the Chief Executive Officer of the CUHK Medical Centre to look at what lessons Hong Kong can learn from the Covid-19 pandemic.

On Wednesday’s Covid Update, and Backchat: the latest on the pandemic; and pharmaceutical pollution in rivers.
As Hong Kong faces a shortage of medical and isolation facilities, Chief Executive Carrie Lam unveiled plans to house infected Covid-19 patients in newly built public housing flats and hotels.
About 3,000 flats at two new public housing estates and up to 10,000 hotel rooms will be used to isolate Covid-19 patients amid the surging fifth wave of infection. Mrs Lam also said there would be designated clinics to treat patients with milder symptoms.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong reported 1,619 confirmed new local infections on Tuesday, with about 5,400 preliminary cases recorded.
After 9, we'll be talking about a global study that found pollution of rivers from medicines and pharmaceutical products poses a threat to environmental and global health.
At 9.25am, we’ll be joined by RTHK sports reporter Atom Cheung for the latest on the Beijing Winter Olympics.
