answer text

<p>The rule of law underpins One Country, Two Systems and Hong Kong's future prosperity and success. Despite recent pressure on aspects of Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy, the UK continues to believe that Hong Kong's world-class, independent judiciary, plays an essential role in underpinning the rule of law in Hong Kong. Participation of foreign judges in Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal strengthens Hong Kong's independent judiciary.</p><p>Further analysis of Hong Kong's rule of law and judiciary will be included in the Foreign Secretary's Six-Monthly Report on the Question of Hong Kong, which will be published in the Spring.</p>
