The position of "one country, two systems"
is a concept put forward by Deng Xiaoping for the settlement
of the question of China's reunification. It is a component
part of the theory of building socialism with Chinese
characteristics and has become a fundamental state policy of
the Chinese Government.
The concept of
"one country, two systems" respects history and
the prevailing situation. It not only safeguards the
fundamental interests of the entire Chinese people including
the compatriots in Taiwan, but also fully respects the way
of life of the compatriots in Taiwan and their aspiration
for becoming the masters of their own affairs and protests
their interests. Therefore, it is reasonable, practical and
workable.
The concept of "one country, two
systems" was firstly put forward for the settlement of
the Taiwan question, but was successfully put into practice
on the settlement of the Hong Kong question. The Chinese
Government has smoothly resumed the exercise of its
sovereignty over Hong Kong and maintained the stability,
prosperity and development of Hong Kong in accordance with
the concept of "one country, two systems". People
have reason to believe that Macao question and the Taiwan
question can also be successfully settled in accordance with
the concept of "one country, two systems" to
achieve a complete reunification of China.
