(50.Socialism is to remain dominant in China while capitalism is allowed in certain regions like Hongkong and Taiwan. And the concept of “One country, two systems” which proved successful in solving the Hongkong issue could also be used to settle international problems.Using a collection of Deng‟s talks with foreign guests and people from Hongkong and Macao, the article traces the formation of these ideas since they were first discussed after the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Chinese communist Party Central Committee （十一届三中全会）in 1978.If the capitalist system is not guaranteed in Hongkong and Taiwan, Deng is quoted as saying, prosperity and stability there cannot be maintained and a peaceful settlement will become impossible. The idea that the capitalist system in Hongkong should remain unchanged for 50 years after 1997, Deng said, was advanced because China needs 50 to 60 years to realize modernization. According to Deng, the “One country, two systems”policy that has been adopted suits China‟s position and is not an expedient measure. Deng also said that the unification of China is a national desire and will be realized even if it takes a thousand years. “The …one country, two systems‟concept is not my personal idea but a principle and law adopted by the National People‟s Congress （全国人大）and therefore will not change,” Deng said.The article also quoted Deng as saying that it was possible for other countries to use the same concept to settle difficult problems.
