The importance of one country, two systems in the Hong Kong issue

First, ensure national unity.

Second, ensure Hong Kong’s social stability. In the end, we have to protect the unity of the country.

Hong Kong has been occupied by the British for more than 150 years. Although the British have implemented a governor-general system in Hong Kong - the governor has overall power, the legislative and judicial power still has a certain independent status. Moreover, more than a hundred years of development have made British cultural concepts deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, creating Hong Kong people who uphold the concepts of freedom, democracy and human rights. Have the spirit to question the government and have an independent personality. Economically, Hong Kong Island has always implemented a laissez-faire market economic policy. The capitalist economy is very prosperous, creating a large number of bourgeois tycoons and a broad middle class. In particular, the middle class is the backbone of Hong Kong society, and they have the above-mentioned concepts of freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

From the perspective of Western culture, the communist country is an authoritarian government and is hostile to the socialist system. Then, Hong Kong people naturally cannot tolerate the interference of government power in their free society, because this will destroy the interests of the broad middle class. In this way, it is imperative to implement one country, two systems.
