One Country, Two Systems
One Country, Two Systems One Country, Two Systems is a concept proposed in 1981 by Ye Jianying, one of the ten Founding Marshals of China. Then formally put forward by Deng Xiaoping, the former leader of China, in January 1982 in order to reunify the country. However, this concept was aimed to reunify Taiwan, not to reunify Hong Kong or macaw. One country, two systems means there is only one China, but the regions of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan could retain their original economic and political systems while mainland China keep pursuing socialism, after they reunified with mainland. This arrangement has been implementing since China resumed sovereignty over Hong Kong and Macao in 1997 and 1999 respectively. We call these two provinces as Special Administrative Regions of China, and they have high degrees of autonomy and independence. Actually, the idea or concept is not the first time to be conceived; it can be traced back to 10th century AD. The Emperor Taizu of Liao reunion all the tribe of Khitan; and in ordered to keep the tribes fit the convention, he established northern Bureaucracy System and Southern Bureaucracy System. This is the earliest One country, two system in the would. Now One Country, Two Systems is implementing on Hong Kong and Macaw for years, and some people say that when Hong Kong and Macaw run pretty well after returned to China; however, some other people say that mainland drags Hong Kong and Macaw down in certain aspects. People who like One Country, Two Systems state that China fulfilled the promise to give Hong Kong and Macaw enough autonomy and independency, to not interfere their policy and economy, and to let them run by their own way. Other wise, people do not like One Country, Two System claim that Hong Kong has certain extent decrease on economy; also the unemployment rate is increased in recent years. Let’s only talk about Hong Kong. I would say the One Country, Two Systems policy is

    During British Imperialism in the 1800s, due to its weak military defense and disorganized political structure, China ceded its southeastern island—Hong Kong in the Treaty of Nanking, as the result of losing the Opium War. Since 1842, Hong Kong has been a British colony that adopted English laws and system. As Mainland China develops its economic and political power throughout the 20th century, United Kingdom reverted Hong Kong back to Chinese sovereignty in 1997, ending 156 year’s British ruling. Because of its many differences--political, cultural, and economic—Hong Kong was established as its own special administrative region called HKSAR of China. Although it is officially a part of China, Hong Kong has its own regional…

    China is a political oddity, as it is one of the very few surviving Communist states and arguably the only truly successful one; but it is not exclusively this political identity and structure that have made it an emerging superpower but rather the government’s pragmatism. The modern Communist Party of China is above all pragmatic, so much so that the base pillars of communism have essentially been abandoned. They are willing to compromise their ideology to accommodate the demands of a globalized world and to some extent the demands of their people. The events of 1989 are a prime example, following the bloody Tiananmen Square protests, which called for social and political reform; an informal agreement called the Beijing consensus was made…

    China’s influence in the world economy was minimal until the late 1980’s but we are now seeing China being one of the most independent countries and leading the manufacturing producing market. China started with a fragile economy with minimal infrastructure from frequent revolutions and invasions in 1949. In the early 1980’s, China’s economy was still extremely weak as a result of its inward looking government system of a socialist planned economy under the Mao government. This resulted in living standards below world averages and economic growth at nearly zero. China has risen from the edge of economic obscurity to lead the world in terms of economic growth, and this is done is just over a quarter of a decade. The People’s Republic of China has transformed from a planned economy into a socialist market economy and is now the world’s second largest economy to the USA being number one, by nominal GDP at $7.3 trillion and by purchasing power parity (PPP). “Pay attention to what’s going on in China. “ – Jeff Mbanga – The Observer.…

    The PRC’s desire for territorial integrity means that China must remain ‘whole’ at all costs. As a state with a population of over 1.3 billion, China will undoubtedly encounter social problems particularly when 100 million of its population are not ‘ethnic Chinese’. The state’s ‘One China’ policy does not have room for secessionists. This has been demonstrated through the suppression of the continuing protest by the Uighars. The 2009 Riots in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, which contains a majority Uighar population, proved that there will continue to be deep-seeded social issues if the Chinese government wishes to maintain their forceful policy in keeping these people in PRC.…
