Hong Kong's Chief Executive John Lee has promised to promote education so that the people of Hong Kong would identify more with China.

Since taking office in July, Lee delivered his first policy address on Wednesday in the Legislative Council.

He stressed that Hong Kong is receiving robust support from China under the "one country, two systems" framework.

He then urged education both inside and outside school to strengthen the people's pride and sense of belonging to China.

He called on elementary and junior high schools to teach Chinese history and geography, and for parents to engage in educational activities.

Lee also revealed a plan to prepare Hong Kong's own security legislation to crack down on such activities as instigating revolt, apart from China's national security legislation already in effect in Hong Kong. But he did not disclose its timetable.

Policy addresses in the past have often been disrupted by pro-democracy lawmakers due to their shouting of anti-government slogans.

But Wednesday's speech was peaceful, now that pro-Beijing lawmakers dominate the Legislative Council following last year's electoral system reform.
