Our country's Constitution and the Basic Law of the Special Administrative Region stipulate the implementation of "one country, two systems", that is, within the territory of the unified People's Republic of China, the main part of the mainland adheres to the socialist system and adheres to the four basic principles; under this premise, in order to solve the problem of Hong Kong , Macao, and Taiwan's historical problems, the establishment of a special administrative region in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution will maintain the original capitalist social and economic system and lifestyle for a considerable period of time, and will not implement socialist systems and policies.

The Special Administrative Region is a local administrative region of the unified People's Republic of China. However, unlike other general administrative regions, it exercises a high degree of autonomy and enjoys legislative power, administrative power, independent judicial power and final adjudication power in accordance with the provisions of the law. . The Special Administrative Region uses its own currency and is financially independent. All revenue is used for its own needs and is not turned over to the Central People's Government.

(3) The affairs of the Special Administrative Region are managed by local people. That is, the government organs of the Special Administrative Region are composed of local people, and the Central People's Government does not send cadres to the Special Administrative Region to hold public office.

Collapse Government Relations

The Central People’s Government has unified leadership over the Special Administrative Region. The National People's Congress passed the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and the Basic Law of the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China in 1990 and 1993 respectively. Article 1 of the two Basic Laws stipulates that the Special Administrative Region is an inseparable part of the People’s Republic of China; Article 12 stipulates that the Special Administrative Region is a local administrative region that enjoys a high degree of autonomy in the People’s Republic of China. Directly under the Central People's Government. This is the concrete implementation of the provisions of our Constitution. It can be seen that the Special Administrative Region is part of the People's Republic of China and is a local-level administrative region; the government of the Special Administrative Region is a first-level local government of the People's Republic of China and is directly under the Central People's Government; the Central People's Government and the Special Administrative Region The relationship between administrative regions is the relationship between the central and local governments within a unitary state structure. The Special Administrative Region enjoys a high degree of autonomy, but it does not enjoy national sovereignty; it has no diplomatic and defense powers, and it is not an independent political entity. Its legal status is equivalent to that of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.

The Special Administrative Region can have its own independence and can implement different systems from those on the mainland. The judiciary is independent and the final adjudication power does not need to go to Beijing. After the peaceful return of Taiwan, as a special administrative region, it can still have its own army, but it will not pose a threat to the mainland. The mainland will not send people to station, not only the military will not go, but also the administrative personnel will not go. The special administrative region's party, government, military and other systems are all managed by itself. The central government also needs to set aside quotas for special administrative regions.
