Xi expressed his full recognition of Ho's leadership in guiding the Macau SAR government to implement the “one country, two systems” policy. Xi's trip to the world's biggest gambling hub is his third as president, during which he will attend the inauguration of the territory's new chief executive, who was elected in October.
