    (ii)
    Source A Excerpted from an article of China Daily dated 7th April, 2020
    Choosing “one country, two systems” over “one country, one system”, according to
    Deng Xiaoping, was a political decision “in full respect of Hong Kong’s history and
    reality”.

    The decision was accepted by all parties concerned because its original intent of
    preserving Hong Kong’s unique advantages as much as possible would let the city
    maintain its prosperity and stability after its return to China.

    According to the video and the Source A, why did Mr. Deng Xiaoping propose the
    principle of “One Country, Two Systems” in the early 1980s?
    As there was a big difference between Hong Kong’s capitalist system and lifestyle
    under the British colonial rule and China’s socialist system, Mr. Deg Xiaoping
    proposed the principle of “One Country, Two Systems” to preserve Hong Kong’s
    unique advantages and to maintain its prosperity and stability after the return to
    China.
