Description

After the People's Republic of China(PRC)recovers her sovereignty over Hong Kong on July 1, 1997, Macao will also become the PRC's Special Administrative Regions(S.A.R.)under the direct authority of the Central People's government with a promise of a high degree of autonomy on December 20, 1999. From the Basic Law of the Hong Kong S.A.R.which was enacted on April 4, 1990, Hong Kong is intended to be a model of the concept of"One Country, Two Systems". This same formula is also applied to Macao. This "One Country, Two Systems"formula was originally proposed with Taiwan but has been applied to Hong Kong first. The framework, however, is not obvious. It contains much political and strategic meanings. From the objective viewpoint, this concept is ultimately contradictory, overbearing, and tkansitional in nature. It is the purpose of this paper to examine its historical background, concept and feasibility.
