First HKSAR astronaut result of 'one country, two systems', says Chinese Foreign Ministry

The first-ever Hong Kong astronaut on board the Tiangong space station as Shenzhou-23 crewed spaceship was successfully launched came as a tangible outcome of the practice of one country, two systems, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.

Lai Ka-ying, a Hong Kong local, has made history as the first member of China's fourth batch of astronauts to take on an in-orbit mission, as well as the first female payload specialist from the Hong Kong and Macau special administrative regions to join a national manned space program.
