I am 79 years old, and have been working for five decades as a barrister and advocate for Hong Kong. Thus, Deng adopted this policy for the good of the whole of China, not just Hong Kong. Twenty years ago, the “one country” part of this agreement was implemented, when China assumed control over Hong Kong on July 1, 1997. But Hong Kong people are still waiting for the “two systems” part to be fully implemented. These young people understand very well what makes Hong Kong special and different from mainland China.
