The Election of the Hong Kong Deputies to the National People's Congress.;This book aims to achieve a breakthrough in relating the development of Hong Kong politics to the future of mainland China and Taiwan. By broadening the focus of the 'one country, two systems' from governance to the process of Sino-British negotiations and their thrust-building efforts, it argues that the diplomats from mainland China and Taiwan can learn from the ways in which Hong Kong's political future was settled in 1982-1984.
