An Attempt to Discuss the Nature of Taiwan’s High Degree of Autonomy After Peaceful Reunification: Based on the Practical Experience of Hong Kong
试论和平统一后台湾地区高度自治权的性质： 基于香港的实践经验
This academic article published in a leading Taiwan studies journal argues that in a “post-reunification” Taiwan, Beijing should design a “One Country, Two Systems” formula for the island based on its experience with Hong Kong. Under an institutional design of what he calls “delegated authority,” in which Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of operational autonomy but Beijing retains the power to intervene when the “fundamental interests of the country” are threatened, the author argues that Hong Kong has transitioned “from chaos to governance.”
