'One country, two systems' has proved to be great success, white paper says

Hong Kong enjoys bright prospects for the development of democracy under the framework of "one country, two systems", officials said on Monday after a white paper on the special administrative region's democracy was released.

The white paper, titled "Hong Kong: Democratic Progress Under the Framework of One Country, Two Systems", was issued Monday morning after the Hong Kong SAR successfully held its seventh Legislative Council election, the first such major exercise under the revamped electoral system.
