Best policy for HK prosperity and residents
July 1 marks the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's reunification with the motherland and the implementation of the principle of "One Country, Two Systems" in the special administrative region. Evaluating the implementation of this national policy of "One Country, Two Systems" is of great political significance today.
Two basic indices are needed to objectively evaluate the implementation of a policy: its original political goal and the actual result it produces.
When China first advanced the "One Country, Two Systems" policy in 1978, its political wisdom profoundly impressed the international community. But the process that transforms this political concept into actual institutional arrangement changed with the complicated global developments.
