Deng Xiaoping was far-sighted in directing China's foreign affairs. Deng successfully negotiated an agreement with the British government to return Hong Kong to Chinese control in 1997. Even during the Cold War he proposed "Peace and Development" as the world's two themes. To solve the Taiwan issue Deng Xiaoping proposed the "One Country Two Systems" conception which was applied first in the return of Hong Kong to China. Besides the "One Country Two Systems" conception Deng Xiaoping also proposed the three steps development strategy for China's economic construction. The first two goals to meet people's basic needs and double the country's GDP have been fulfilled. As Deng said China's next goal is to modernize by the middle of the 21st century. Then China could do more things for the world.
