forecasting political system after 2047 HK
The “One Country, Two Systems” experiment implemented in Hong Kong has, in fact, failed. Since 2003, the mainland public has gradually become disillusioned with the reality of “One Country, Two Systems” in Hong Kong. This disillusionment has gradually evolved into anger. Since 2016, voices of opposition to the prospect of “One Country, Two Systems” in Taiwan have also emerged among the mainland public. By 2019, clear opposition to the prospect of “One Country, Two Systems” in Taiwan had emerged.
The outcome of the “One Country, Two Systems” experiment in Hong Kong is already evident: it has increased the costs of China’s national governance, making its eventual demise inevitable. After 2047, the likelihood of Hong Kong continuing to maintain the “One Country, Two Systems” framework is extremely slim. It cannot even be ruled out that the “One Country, Two Systems” arrangement in Hong Kong may come to an end prematurely.
