Abstract: "One Country, Two Systems" is the policy that will guide China's recent resumption of sovereignty over Hong Kong. In examining howpeople categorise capitalism by using Hong Kong/China as one of the paired stimuli, results show that there is a significant difference between the Chinese sample and the Australian sample in making a similarity judgment and, most important, those who tended to judge Hong Kong/China as more likely to bea capitalist nation are not Chinese subjects but their Australian counterparts. The results are interpreted to suggest that people do not behave in a qualitative way of thinking and the differences are discussed in terms of the cognitive dynamics that may cause more disparate judgings to occur.
