BEIJING: The "one country, two systems" formula that charted Hong Kong's successful 1997 return to China remains Beijing's platform for both a strident nationalism as well as its efforts to reunify Taiwan.
“It has also eased the pain of more than 100 years of humiliation by imperialist powers who tried to carve up and colonise China following the Opium Wars of the 19th century,” a Chinese official and academics said.
"During the past 10 years, 'one country, two systems' and 'a high degree of autonomy' has achieved great success in Hong Kong," Foreign Ministry spokesman
Qin Gang told journalists last week.
"We are full of confidence in the 'one country, two systems' and the continuous successful implementation of the Basic Law in Hong Kong in the future. The future of Hong Kong will be brighter," he said.
China took back Hong Kong in July 1997 with the promise that it would not impose its communist system on the former British colony, and that it would be allowed to keep its vibrant capitalist economy for at least 50 years.
