1. The political creativity and institutional innovation of the "one country, two systems" system is a worldwide example. In his report, General Secretary Xi Jinping not only clearly pointed out that "'one country, two systems' is a great innovation of socialism with Chinese characteristics", but also emphasized again that "'peaceful reunification' The "one country, two systems" policy is the best way to achieve cross-strait reunification, and is most beneficial to compatriots on both sides of the strait and the Chinese nation." In essence, "one country, two systems" is a matter of sovereignty norms. Sovereign norms are of great significance to safeguarding China's independence and territorial integrity. While adhering to the principle of sovereignty, China has creatively innovated sovereignty norms. The concept of "one country, two systems" and its practical innovation are mainly manifested in: First, under the framework of a sovereign country, different types of political systems are allowed to coexist and develop, thus breaking through the traditional idea that a country can only have one political system; Second, the two political systems are not parallel but subordinate. Therefore, the great concept and practice of "one country, two systems" is a breakthrough in the sovereign state norms of Westphalia (the first multilateral treaty at the turn of the medieval and modern times in Europe), and it is also a way for China to solve historical legacy that is different from Western countries. innovative approach to the problem. The practice of the "one country, two systems" system in Hong Kong and Macau also shows that China does not just socially accept the norms imposed by the outside world, but innovates the norms according to its own national conditions, so that the "one country, two systems" system can better solve its own problems. face real problems.
How to implement the great concept of "one country, two systems", we cannot find ready-made answers from the works of Marx, Engels and Lenin, let alone rely on the "assistance" of foreign forces. As General Secretary Xi Jinping called in the report: "The resolution of the Taiwan issue is the Chinese people's own business, and it is up to the Chinese people to decide." Adhere to the party's overall strategy for solving the Taiwan issue in the new era, and unswervingly promote the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, first of all Innovation and breakthroughs at the theoretical level are needed. In terms of its national system and structure, the "one country, two systems" system is the product of the combination of the Marxist theory of the state and the reality of China, and is a new development of the Marxist theory of the state. It not only provides new content for our country's political construction, but also proposes a new mode of state structure for the socialist country. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important speeches on the theory and practice of "one country, two systems" have always run through the dialectical thinking, the overall vision and the innovation theory. Exploring "One Country, Two Systems" and its innovation and development from the perspective of systems thinking is of great significance, whether it is to expand the understanding of the theory and practice of systems philosophy, or to deepen the understanding of the theory and practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
2. The exploration and practice of "one country, two systems" has continuously enriched the theoretical connotation of "one country, two systems". General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his report that "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong", "Macau people governing Macao", The policy of a high degree of autonomy, adhere to the rule of law in Hong Kong and Macau, implement the central government's overall governance power, and implement the principles of "patriots governing Hong Kong" and "patriots governing Macau". The practice of "One Country, Two Systems" in Hong Kong and Macao is permeated with rich methodological features, which are embodied in the innovativeness of its theory, the realistic nature of its conception, and the flexibility of its strategies. strong vitality and far-reaching influence. Therefore, "one country, two systems" must be the realization of the motherlandThe scientific conception of peaceful reunification is an important part of the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is the product of the combination of the basic principles of Marxism and China's concrete practice of accomplishing the great cause of reunification of the motherland. In fact, "one country, two systems" does not use the socialism of the mainland to unify the capitalism of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but allows the capitalism of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and the socialism of the mainland to coexist for a long time and develop together, realizing the two different social systems. The peaceful coexistence of different regions within a country creates a special kind of united front between the two systems. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his report, "We support the Chief Executive and the government of the Special Administrative Region to govern in accordance with the law, keep the capitalist system and way of life in Hong Kong and Macau unchanged for a long time, and promote the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macau." Changes, with the establishment of the central government's new strategy and policy for Taiwan's work, exploring the relationship between "one country, two systems" and peaceful reunification has become a top priority. "One country, two systems" was created to solve the Taiwan issue. The successful practice of Hong Kong and Macau has made "one country, two systems" the best model for China to achieve cross-strait reunification in the future, and has increasingly become the biggest consensus of people on both sides of the strait. political security.
3. "One Country, Two Systems" provides a practical scenario for the country's reform and opening up and the new development pattern. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his report that he should support Hong Kong and Macao in developing their economies, improving people's livelihood, and solving deep-seated contradictions and problems in economic and social development. , to promote the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macau. 2022 is the 25th/23rd anniversary of the return of Hong Kong/Macao to the motherland and the implementation of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong/Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It is a key stage in maintaining prosperity and stability in the middle and late stages of the “unchanged”. Practice has proved that only by accurately understanding the deep meaning of "one country, two systems" and continuously exploring and improving it in practice can we ensure the stability and long-term success of governing Hong Kong and Macau. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has actively responded to the ever-changing new conditions in Hong Kong and Macau. Many new breakthroughs and new developments have been made in the work of Hong Kong and Macau, further deepening the understanding of the regularity of "one country, two systems". Organically combine the maintenance of the central government's overall governance over the Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions with the protection of the Special Administrative Region's high degree of autonomy, ensure that the "one country, two systems" policy will not change or be shaken, ensure that the practice of "one country, two systems" will not be deformed or out of shape, and that Hong Kong will be governed in accordance with the law. The governance of Macao has continuously formed institutional achievements, taken solid steps to integrate into the overall national development, and steadily implemented various measures to enhance the national concept and patriotism. The practice of "one country, two systems" will surely continue to achieve fruitful results. The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a major strategic plan to promote the reform and opening up in the new era, and it is also an objective requirement for Hong Kong and Macau to explore new development directions, explore new development space, and add new development momentum, which is conducive to the comprehensive and accurate implementation of "one country, two systems". The policy is to give full play to the comprehensive advantages of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, deepen the cooperation between the Mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, further enhance the supporting and leading role of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in the country's economic development and opening up, enhance the well-being of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, and maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao. Let the Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and the people of the motherland share the historical responsibility of national rejuvenation and the great glory of the prosperity of the motherland. Promoting the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward in the report two "better" - will "support Hong Kong and Macau to better integrate into the overall national development, and play a better role in the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. ". At present, the construction and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is entering a new historical stage. The development goal of Greater Bay Area is to achieve coordinated regional economic development, and institutional cooperation is the main way to achieve coordinated development. The "one country, two systems" system is the fundamental guarantee for the economic development and long-term stability of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It also provides a practical scenario for the country's reform and opening up and the new development pattern, and continuously deepens the more open and closer exchanges and cooperation between Hong Kong and Macao and other countries and regions.
Fourth, "one country, two systems" provides institutional guarantee for the historical trend of national reunification and national rejuvenation. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his report that the historical wheels of national reunification and national rejuvenation are rolling forward, and the complete reunification of the motherland must be realized and can be achieved. Realize! - The historical trend of "the motherland must be reunified and inevitably reunified" requires a strong institutional guarantee. "Peaceful reunification, one country, two systems" is the foundation for promoting the great cause of peaceful reunification of the motherlandThis policy is also the best way to achieve cross-strait reunification. "One country, two systems" has been transformed from a scientific concept into a political reality, and the successful practice of the Hong Kong and Macao model has proved the great ideological power and theoretical guiding function of "one country, two systems". In recent years, cross-strait relations have entered a new era of in-depth adjustment and innovation and breakthroughs, and national unity has taken on the new feature of "still more complex, but more promising". Fully combine the actual development of cross-strait relations, maximize the available resources of "one country, two systems", and explore the "one country, two systems" Taiwan model or plan that is different from Hong Kong and Macao and more suitable for Taiwan, which is conducive to establishing a sense of direction for the future development of cross-strait relations and increasing Taiwan's The centripetal force of the people towards national reunification, thereby promoting the peaceful development and peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait.
In the process of continuous development and changes in cross-strait relations, many relevant people have called for the enrichment, development and innovation of the historical role of "one country, two systems" in promoting national reunification and national rejuvenation, and trying to expand the connotation and tolerance of the "one country, two systems" Taiwan model from different perspectives. sex. However, it is undeniable that the current "one country, two systems" as the final model to achieve complete reunification of the two sides of the strait is not highly recognized and accepted in Taiwan, and "one country, two systems" has repeatedly encountered bottlenecks in Taiwan. In this regard, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in the report, "We adhere to the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and our best efforts, but we will never promise to give up the use of force and reserve the option of taking all necessary measures, which is aimed at the interference of external forces. And the very few 'Taiwan independence' separatists and their separatist activities are by no means aimed at the vast number of Taiwan compatriots." Therefore, in-depth exploration of the "one country, two systems" Taiwan plan, study and improve the institutional arrangements and policy measures to promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation under the framework of "one country, two systems", and strive to It is extremely necessary to promote the early realization of the complete reunification of the motherland.
The wheel of history, rolling forward. The next few years will be a period of profound qualitative change in the strategic environment of national reunification and a critical period for the national rejuvenation process to shift gears and speed up. The successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China not only strengthened and shaped the general trend of the reunification of the motherland, enriched the development of the Party Central Committee's policy towards Taiwan, but also pointed out the way forward for the complete reunification of the motherland. On the historical journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, resolutely implement the Party's overall strategy for solving the Taiwan issue in the new era and the Party Central Committee's decision-making and deployment on Taiwan's work, and solidly advance the process of the reunification of the motherland. The complete reunification of the motherland will surely be achieved!
