The Development And Innovation Of The Theory "One Country, Two Systems"

In 1970's and 1980's, Chinese Communist Party put forward the theory "one country, two systems" in order to solve the problem of reunification of China. At the same time, the researches on the theory at home and abroad also started to set off. Generally, the research in the field develops very quickly though it set off relatively late. In recent two years, as the communication between the mainland and Taiwan extends constantly, the new results of the research increase in number greatly. But there are still some weak points of the researches in the field:lack of balance in the aspects, lack of variety in the methods, lack of academic air and the application of theory. Therefore, through combing the theory "one country, two systems" and inspecting the original meaning of the theory, the author intends to explore how to develop the theory further under the new situation, expecting to provide the cause of the reunification of our motherland with theoretical support.With dialectical materialism and historical materialism as its guidance, with Marxist theory about national rules as its tool, and with comparison and history as its method, the author does some research on the theory "one country, two systems". First, the author looks back to the ideological source of the theory and the process of its formation and development; and then the author focuses on the practical operation of the theory in Hong Kong and Macao, analyzing the troubles the theory will face while solving the Taiwan problem; finally, the author makes the exploration of the concrete content in development and innovation of the theory in the aspect of "one country" and "two systems". According to the author, the future "one country"will refer to the reunification of China after the confrontation between Taiwan and the mainland ends. The reunified China will integrate the state' class nature with its nationality and sociality, and hence the recognition of the state's essence will be elevated to the level of rationality. "Two systems" not only means allowing the main bodies of administrative power under one sovereignty to coexist, but also means that the form of the state's structure in the future will continue keeping the complicated unitary system while using some characteristics of federal system. Accordingly, the unified China will defend the long-term coexistence of "two systems", arbitrate the contradictions of "two systems", safeguard the benefits of "two systems", resolve the contradictions correctly among the people from the four places in China, maintain the social stability of the mainland and the special administrative regions, and coordinate the economic cooperation and development under "two systems".The new and bright point of the paper is:in the future plan of the Taiwan pattern of "one country, two systems", the vertical angle in the past has been abandoned and more attention has been paid to the reality between the mainland and Taiwan. At the same time, the dream of employing various theories and methods has been fulfilled.
