I think that you are confusing One Country, Two Systems with the One-China Policy: the former is a policy originally devised by Deng Xiaoping in respect of the governance of Hong Kong, Macau and, he hoped ultimately, Taiwan; the latter is an agreement devised by the US and China so that they could agree to disagree."
yes - I know that there is a difference but Deng's policy also made it easier to envisage the eventual absorption over time of Taiwan. Xi isn't in the same league as a thinker - he wants to be up there with his own "thought" and all the trappings. . Deng was quite happy to list "Secretary of the Peking Bridge Club" near the top of his list of positions of power held.
