1. "Don't forget the original intention": fully understand the uniqueness of Hong Kong in the national strategy

The unique advantage of Hong Kong lies in geography, that is, at the intersection of mainland China and the global ocean world. Therefore, the central government's strategic positioning of Hong Kong always focuses on global strategy. The key to whether we can open up a new chapter of "one country, two systems" is how we look at the global capitalist system and how to view Hong Kong's positioning in national strategy.

The essence of reform and opening up and the "one country, two systems" is to adhere to the Chinese wisdom of virtuality and Rong Nai, with the spirit of reform and opening up, to learn about the cultural knowledge and governance experience of Western civilization with an open mind, and continuously enrich, develop and improve themselves. The theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics needs to keep pace with the times and start theoretical innovation. Just as the earth absorbs rainwater, accommodates rivers, and even the sea, the great rejuvenation of Chinese civilization also needs to continuously draw nutrition from Western civilization and other human civilization.

Only by understanding the true meaning of the philosophy behind the "one country, two systems" can the successful experience of "one country, two systems" is to always tolerate and learn the beneficial elements of Western civilization with an open mind. The key to the "one country, two systems" will develop a new chapter in the future. The key lies in "not forgetting the original intention", maintaining strategic determination, and not singing in Hong Kong. We must always adhere to the "one country, two systems" not shaken, unable to deform, and unswerving. Re -examine the unique advantages of Hong Kong in the national strategic pattern.

2. Politics and culture: Hong Kong's new positioning in national strategy

Since the establishment of the New China, the central government's strategic positioning of Hong Kong mainly focuses on the economy. It has made full use of Hong Kong as a channel for the Mainland and global capitalism to serve the national strategy. After the reform and opening up, it is also a big strategy to solve the Hong Kong issue with "one country, two systems". a part of.

As China has continuously integrated into the global capitalist system since the reform and opening up, we have gradually mastered the ability to control the global capitalist market economy. Hong Kong's "window" status in the national economic strategy is constantly declining, and Hong Kong is facing its own economic problems and needs to integrate into the national development strategy. In this context, we must not only adjust the position of Hong Kong in the national economic strategy in a timely manner, but also adjust from the past "going in" strategy to the "going global" strategy to promote China's capital, technology, management, information, and even cultural concepts to go out to go out. More importantly, the positioning of Hong Kong in national strategy has shifted from economic positioning to political positioning and cultural positioning.

With the further development, China must not only have the ability to control the global capitalist economic system, but also have the ability to control the global capitalist political system and cultural ideology to effectively carry out the construction of the community of human destiny. China adopts a socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and most countries in the world outside China adopt the capitalist political system. The political, judicial independence of the Parliament of the multi -party competition election, and the freedom of speech under the civic society have become the basic logic of this political system operation. It is necessary to actively participate in global governance and start the construction of the community of human destiny. It is impossible for China to push its domestic system to the world like the Soviet Union and the United States today. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring that the mainland's socialist system is unchanged, it is necessary to learn how to control the political system of freedom and democracy around the world and win the right to speak under global public opinion. This is undoubtedly a major and urgent task currently facing, just like the problem of how to control the global capitalist economic system at the beginning of reform and opening up.

Summarizing the successful experience of China ’s success in controlling the global capitalist economic system since the reform and opening up. The most important one is to make good use of Hong Kong’ s “one country, two systems” and “learning swimming in swimming”. From this perspective, Hong Kong's competitive election system, judicial independence and judicial review of the rule of law system, and open free remarks, in fact, provide excellent training grounds for China to fully understand Western civilization and learn how to control global capitalist politics Essence As a result, the importance of Hong Kong in the national strategic pattern must gradually shift to political and cultural strategic positioning from the economic strategic positioning since reform and opening up.

Third, "two good construction": Chinese and Western wisdom that integrates global governance

"One country, two systems" must create a new chapter from economic strategy to politics and cultural strategy. We must adhere to the "two construction" strategies and integrate Chinese and Western wisdom. it is good. This means that the mainland can not use the method of governing socialism in the Mainland to govern Hong Kong's capitalism, but to solve the Hong Kong issue with the rules of Hong Kong capitalism.

In this new strategic positioning, the significance of Hong Kong is to accumulate knowledge, experience and skills for China to control the global capitalist political system and cultural ideology, and more importantly to cultivate corresponding governance talents. Therefore, Hong Kong's national strategic positioning cannot stay at the International Financial Center, and it must also actively promote it to become an international arbitration center, international judicial center, international non -governmental organization activity center, international cultural and creative center, and international communication center. Capitalist methods to control Hong Kong's capitalism, promote Hong Kong elite talents to actively participate in international organizations and global governance affairs, and become an important ladder for China to actively participate in global governance. As a result, the "two good construction" strategies will gradually construct a new world system with an internal socialist system with Chinese characteristics, while the outside world is a new world system. This is not only different from the Soviet Union's system of promoting communism in the world, but also different from the world empire system that the United States has promoted the end of history in the United States. The creative transformation of the system provides Chinese wisdom or Chinese plan for global governance.
