Latest amendments to the Chinese Communist Party's constitution concerning Hong Kong have reaffirmed Beijing's commitment to the "one country, two systems" policy and its vision the principle would be the governing solution for Taiwan, according to analysts.
Observers have pointed to an additional description in the important document guiding China's ruling party, which states that one country, two systems should be implemented "fully, faithfully and resolutely". An extra line warning against Taiwan independence was also inserted into the same paragraph, marking the first such explicit reference made on cross-straits tensions.
