The United States and China wrapped up two days of high level economic talks without any agreement.

The “one country, two systems” model is not perfect, but it is a pragmatic and realistic approach to reunifying the mainland and Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau. It allows the two sides time (50 years or longer) to come up with solutions that could bridge the development gap – economic, political, social and cultural – between the three sides. What’s more, mainland China will never allow any of the three to declare official independence.
To discuss the future of the “one country, two systems” model in Hong Kong is Zou Yue, anchor of CGTN’s China24, Martin Jacques, author of the bestselling book “When China Rules the World: the End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order” and James Keith, former U.S. Consul General to Hong Kong and currently runs the Asia practice at McLarty Associates.
In an inspired election campaign, he confounded his detractors and showed that he was – more than any other leader – in tune with the times.
There have been two great political turning points in postwar Britain. The first was in 1945 with the election of the Attlee government. Driven by a popular wave of determination that peacetime Britain would look very different from the mass unemployment of the 1930s, and built on the foundations of the solidaristic spirit of the war, the Labour government ushered in full employment, the welfare state (including the NHS) and nationalisation of the basic industries, notably coal and the railways. It was a reforming government the like of which Britain had not previously experienced in the first half of the 20th century. The popular support enjoyed by the reforms was such that the ensuing social-democratic consensus was to last until the end of the 1970s, with Tory as well as Labour governments broadly operating within its framework.
