All need to implement policy directives from Xi Jinping, concretely execute troops’ training and war preparation, strive for a new phase in a strong military for the new era, welcome the party’s centenary with high marks. Finally, Xu Qiliang expressed his support for the electoral system reform in Hong Kong.
