Why not One Country Two Systems?



Why not one country two systems?

On my site I talk Gonave having its own independence, and being a separate country.  While this could be a great thing, it could also be a major league problem.  Many things have to be done to actually have your own country, and you need a large amount of money as well.  While some countries have been newly established, such as South Sudan, the road to success has been very bumpy.

Not only do you have to have your own military, but you have to have your own constitution, judicial system for laws, political parties, etc.  The costs and complexity are enormous, and you have to make sure that you don’t have other countries who are much more powerful, take you out.

With that said, why not adopt a policy that China setup many years ago, that is still practiced today.  The have a One Country, Two Systems.  Here is how it breaks down, the one country being China, and the Two Systems being Capitalism, and Socialism.  The capital giant and world city of Hong Kong now belongs to China, but has its own policies, currency, flag, and even immigration.  Also Macau is also owned by China, but like Hong Kong has its own system.  Now of course all countries have some form of capitalism and socialism, but not in the way China has it setup.  Macau was ruled by Portugal, and Hong Kong by the British.  The agreement was after so many years, both countries would return the islands back to China, but China would have to defend them militarily, and also allow both regions to have their same rule of law for a specific number of years after the handover.

So how does this relate to Haiti and Gonave?  Well some feel that Gonave would be better off as its own country from Haiti.  Others feel that Gonave should still be a part of Haiti as it has been.  So how do you ensure that the people of Gonave get the best available?  Well possibly have a similar approach to what China has done.  Now the difference is that both Gonave and Haiti are capitalistic places, and Gonave is firmly in the control of Haiti.  My thought is why not allow Gonave to be a Special Administrative Region, where it can financially be responsible for itself, but militarily supported by Haiti.  Done right, Gonave could be the Hong Kong of Haiti.

I will talk more about this, and some research I did while on vacation, until then.  As of now, I don't know what would be the best option for Gonave.  There are risks with both, and benefits to both.  My goal is for the people of Gonave to have a better life, and that means all people.  Go Gonave!

La Gonave could serve as the template for all of Haiti

Image
La Gonave has an opportunity to do it right the first time.  Meaning that if the right people get involved and their goal is to help the Haitians to help themselves, then La Gonave could serve as the template for Haiti. La Gonave has many advantages over the mainland.  For one, with a smaller population the needs of food, housing, water, etc are less, so programs that are developed could easy cover this small population.  La Gonave is a blank canvas, so streets can be placed based on results that other cities around the world have tried.  La Gonave can build it's economy on just about any industry, although tourism and agriculture are probably the prime industries.  The list goes on and on. My point is that if done correctly, and La Gonave is a modern and vibrant place.  If La Gonave could have the majority of it's population literate, and that there are enough schools for every child.  If La Gonave could have a strong economy similar to the Baham...

Carnival Cruise to build port in Haiti/Carnival Cruise yo bati pò an Ayiti

I remember early on when writing this blog, I stated that Gonave should have a cruise company build a port in Gonave, and it would be a major boost to Gonave's economy.  I was told by a local group who wants to turn Gonave into its own country, that I was incorrect.  They said cruise companies don't build ports and that the local municipality has to do that.  Of course that is incorrect!   I knew this because once taking a cruise myself Carnival mentioned they built a port in Cuba and are waiting for the US to overturn somethings so that cruises from America to Cuba can happen.  So again Gonave, be sure you know who you are listening to, and what their goals are.  Here at Let's Build Gonave Haiti, we have a core group that does research before we speak. With that said, Carnival is building a port in Northern Haiti.  Check out the information here .  Now some feel cruise companies take the profits back to their home countries.  While that i...

Flag of Gonave?

Image
I created the image below.  I will explain why I choose the colors I choose. So three basic color were chosen to represent the future island nation of Gonave, which are yellow, sky blue, and green. I did research on flags, and why colors should be chosen, what colors shouldn't be put on a flag, the meaning of colors, how not to over complicate a flag, and make sure that a made can easily be remember by school age kids. So here it is, and I will explain the colors. First off, the green portion of the flag represents the green lush vegetation of the island.  It also means a land rich with fertile soil which provides the energy of it's people. The blue portion represents the bright skys over the island of Gonave.  The color is a sky blue, which shows a cloudless day, one with no storms, but of a clear day.  It also means that the sky is the limit.  Finally yellow represents the sun.  The sun is shining on a lush green nation on a cloudless day,...
