Critical Thinking Assignment 1
…………. China is a developing country, but this country develops really fast that because many
people open the mind and begin thinking out of the box, leader need innovation.
There are two people who have important effect for Chinese. The first one that is
Deng Xiaoping, Deng Xiaoping is a leader for China, Deng Xiaoping was born in the
1904, and he was Chinese revolutionary and statesmen. Deng Xiaoping make
significant contributions, there are two thing is really famous in China, the first is ‘one
country, two systems’ the second is reform and opening policies that is a subverting
tradition and sweeping transformation. Therefore the other people is Xi Guohua who
is the chairman of China Mobile, China Mobile Company has changed the Chinese
telecommunications market, this company was a pioneer, now it has became really
successful company around the world. In 2014, China Mobile rank 28th in the Forbes
Magazine’s “Global 2000” List and were listed “FT Global 500” ranking 25th(Xi
Guohua, 2014) that is clearly show that China mobile can compete with other
world-class enterprise. There are two people who broken the rule, they can foresee the
trend, and brave broken the rule. Deng Xiaoping (1984) say that ‘new problems must
be solved by new means’ which mean with development of society, people must
follow the trend to innovate new rules that can make people to improve. They are two
people who is an example, there are many people influence this country, this two
people just one over ten thousand, but people can learn many thing from them.
One country, two system is a famous speech that influence many people especially for
Hong Kang, China is a socialism country, but Hong Kong is a capitalism country, this
two type of country are total different. However, Hong Kong was colonized long time
by England, all the Hong Kong people accepted capitalism, they cannot change their
mind at one time and they do not think that socialism suit for Hong Kong, on this
occasion Deng Xiaoping made ‘one country, two system’. This policy is for Hong
Kong people and government, this policy make a buffer for Hong Kong citizen, they
can keep before life style, they do not need to change, the government can keep the
power and insure the Hong Kong economy to become decrease which can satisfy
Hong Kong government and citizen, at the same time, China can insist ‘one china’
policy. (Geping Rao& Wang Zhenmin, 2007) this policy express that “one china”
prior to “ two system”, on that basis Hong Kong enjoy a high degree of autonomy.
This is why the speech topic is “one country, two system”, the most important thing isone country. Therefore, the speech say that China will station troops in Hong Kong
which clearly shows the China’s sovereignty. If we presume bold, firstly, Deng
Xiaoping’s content use “one country, two system” to influence Hong Kong people,
because, they can have high degree of autonomy, they do not need to change life style
and social system, citizen and government can easy to accept this policy. At the same
time China will station troops in Hong Kong that emphasize “one country” and
China’s sovereignty which mean Hong Kong is a part of China, this is intent, the
target is make “one china” policy, and the Hong Kong people consider that Hong
Kong and China are different country, but China station troops in Hong Kong which
mean Hong Kong is a part of China, China has power to control Hong Kong, also
China can protect Hong Kong. The argument is that China use “one country, two
system” to control Hong Kong and station troops in Hong Kong, so Hong Kong is not
a political entity. “One country, two system” is a political means, China use this
political means to control Hong Kong, so Hong Kong never be consider a political
entity. Although Hong Kong can enjoy high-level degree of autonomy, (Geping Rao&
Wang Zhenmin, 2007) “Essentially, the political system which defines it is that of a
non-sovereign state and non-political entity.” So Hong Kong was divided Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) which mean Hong Kong have to comply
China’s Basic Law, it is a countrywide law and Hong Kong followed China’s Basic
Law, so Hong Kong is a part of China. At the same time, some people were concerned
that Hong Kong does not have enough integrity, also (Fung Kalvin, 2014) “This
review found skepticism among Western bloggers about “One Country, Two Systems”
in terms of maintaining the liberal traditions of Hong Kong.” Other people argue that
Hong Kong cannot keep traditions and “ One country, two system” does not have
enough sustainability, because Hong Kong should followed Basic Law, gradually
Hong Kong will become a part of China. However, “One country two system is a
political means, that effective balance stability and economic development between
the Hong Kong and China. In 1984, “one country, two system” is an untraditional
decision, because China is not a open system country, but Deng Xiaoping believe that
Hong Kong people are quite capable of administering their own affairs, also China
insure “One country” policy. “One country, two system” policy help Hong Kong and
China link together.China Mobile is the biggest mobile company in China. In 2014 China Mobile’s
performance is really outstanding that because China Mobile can make right decision,
and correct change strategy. The telecommunications services is the main source of
income, but this year, China Mobile have a big increase that is data business that
increase 51.8 percent. Also China Mobile can maintain the old services; in this year
China Mobile have new strategies, the customers and business, data traffic and
corporate customer services are the main operations, this company have cracking
flexibility, they can followed trends, mobile internet is a big market, China Mobile
immediately change the strategies who focus 4G data traffic that make China Mobile
increase 51.8 percent. If China Mobile does not develop the data traffic, other
company will seize the mobile Internet market. The argument is that China Mobile is
a successful company, because China Mobile has the biggest subscriber base and
expensive network infrastructure, strong market presence in mobile. (Xi Guohua,
2014) “We have put in use 410,000 base stations covering more than 300 cities, and
built up the world's largest 4G network.” It is basic these infrastructure, more and
more people to begin use China Mobile. Mobile Internet become popular, most young
people use mobile internet who need faster web browsing speeds and downloading
speed, unquestionable China Mobile has enough capital and infrastructure. At the
same time, China Mobile does not forget voice quality that make more and more
people choose China Mobile, for China Mobile 4G network is a strategic
transformation, because previously China Mobile focus the voice quality, 4G is a big
challenge, it need to strengthened the accumulation of infrastructure resources, this a
venture investment, because even so China Mobile develop infrastructure, but there
are some people who still do want to use it, at the same time China mobile can
possible decrease voice quality that maybe can lead to lose registered customers.
(China Mobile, 2014) China Mobile has some weakness that is Weak market presence
in the fixed telecommunications sector, fixed telecommunication market is always to
hand by China Unicom and China Telecom, this market is very hard to compete with
China Telecom, because China Telecom has the largest wire line network in China
and over half of the country's people use China Telecom, some people suppose, if
China Mobile want to compete with China Telecom in the fixed telecommunications
market, China Mobile must update infrastructure and the price become more cheaper
that can help China Mobile compete with other company. Anther weakness isextensive government regulations, for example, China Mobile use TD-SCDMA
network, while the other company was allowed to use the global standards. The
government encourages non-state-owned telecommunications company to enter into
the telecommunications markets. The government makes the telecom market to
become more competitive and Telecom market is almost saturation (China Mobile,
2014)” the mobile penetration rate in Mainland China reached 90.8%” which mean
the telecommunications markets has began to show signs of saturation, if China
Mobile want to increase performance, the company must compete with other company,
because the total of people using telecommunications services can not rise, China
Mobile must contend people from other company.
“One country, two system” and China Mobile chairman’s statement are different
things, however, we can find some same idea from these two things. Firstly, they
innovate some new idea that is a revolutionary innovation, at the same time. They
must assume the risk, for example, China Mobile want to develop 4G data traffic, the
company must use a mount of money to buy some new infrastructure, but that not
mean the customer want to choose China Mobile. Furthermore, “One country, two
system” is a revolutionary innovation too, this policy influence entire Hong Kong
people, if this policy has some problem that can make a huge damage for Hong Kong,
especially the economic is the most dangers thing, due to the social system are
different, the economy is different, the economy of capitalism most part sale the
product for oversea countries, if Hong Kong change the social system that will make
economic crisis, many people lose the jobs that increase crime rate and some chain
reactions. Secondly these two things have specific target, China Mobile want to enter
into the 4G telecommunications markets, the company update some new
infrastructure to increase the competitive power. Therefore, “one country, two system”
policy has a most important thing that is “one country”. One country is premise for
total policies, it is true that Deng Xiaoping believe who can manage themselves, but
also Deng Xiaoping emphasize that one country can not change. Finally, these two
things have enough flexibility. China Mobile in order to go along with the needs of
people, China Mobile strives to develop 4G data traffic that can improve the
competitive power. “One country, two system” keep Hong Kong intrinsically
economy system and not change the social system. However, these two things havesome different. Firstly the content is different. “One country, two system” is a
political means. China Mobile Chairman’s Statement is an economic means. Secondly,
the intent is different, Deng Xiaoping want to use “one country, two system” to
accomplish the “ One China” strategy, China Mobile want to update the infrastructure
to attract more customers. Finally, the information delivery is different. “One country,
two system” is a speech, this policy emphasize that first is one country, and then is the
two system, Deng Xiaoping emphasize that China must be territorial integrity. China
Mobile want to use the better infrastructure to acquire new customers.
In conclusion, “one country, two system” is a absolute revolution that successfully
solves the social system and economic problems for Hong Kong, at the same time,
“one country” policy can effective execute. It effective linked two different social,
Hong Kong can keep their own culture and economic system, but some people
consider that this policy cannot use long time, because Hong Kong is not a political
entity, this is a kind of presume, it is true that Hong Kong never be consider a political
entity, but now “one country, two system” is a effective policy for Hong Kong. China
Mobile is a successful company, over half people use China Mobile in China, with
development of society, most young people like to use date traffic, China Mobile
conform to the trend of the times to develop the 4G service, at the same time, China
Mobile need to confront government to bring pressure of competition. These two
things have clear target, innovation and enough flexibility. However, they also have
some different things which are content, intent and information delivery. Hopefully,
“one country, two system” can use long time, China Mobile can conquer the difficult.Reference list
