One country, one system (Chinese: 一国一制; pinyin: yīguó yīzhì) means that the People's Republic of China governs Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan in the same political and judicial system as Mainland, unlike one country, two systems; meaning the abolition of the Special Administrative Region and direct rule by the Central People's Government after the unification of Hong Kong, Macau or the future unification with Taiwan. In addition, some outside radical pro-Beijing figures have expressed their support[1] to the implementation of one country, one system in Hong Kong.

Description

One country, one system is not the official position of the Chinese Communist Party and the government of China, nor is it a viable direction to take; for example, during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests.[citation needed] However, controversy over China's implementation of de facto one country, one system has been repeatedly raised by critics outside of China since Xi Jinping became the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and the supreme leader in 2012; on June 30, 2020, the Standing the 13th National People's Congress (NPC) passed the 2020 Hong Kong national security law. The NPC's legislative action aroused doubts in the West, including the United States government, that Hong Kong's "original one country, two systems had become [de facto] one country, one system".[2][3]
