The Political and Economic Analysis of the Hong Kong-China Integration

After Hong Kong returned to China, the integration of political field has completed. However, the divergence in social and economic fields remain significant which triggers the motives for this study. In the process of integration between Hong Kong and China, the ¡§One Country, Two System¡¨ and ¡§Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement¡¨(CEPA) have provided political and economic schemes respectively. The integration procedure in Hong Kong-China case, that is to integrate in political sphere first and then push forward other areas of integration subsequently, conforms to the characteristics of Federalism. In addition, it is found that the local government is subordinate to the central under the Hong Kong Basic Law, which means the principle of ¡§one country¡¨ is prior to ¡§two systems.¡¨ On the other hand, the practice of CEPA provides new opportunities for economic development in Hong Kong. Beijing also hopes that Hong Kong could help develop the Pan Pearl River Delta Region under CEPA. Under all kinds of forces from the central and local, it is predictable that Hong Kong will integrate into China gradually in the near future.
