This type of territorial unit occupies a special place and has a specific legal status, which is especially noticeable in relations with the central authorities. The authors focus on the historical prerequisites for the formation of such a legal status and analyze the current situation. A special feature of this study is the research methodology, since a comprehensive analysis requires the use of a mixed research method. The conclusions reached by the authors can be used to formulate a new form of government.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>special administrative regions</kwd><kwd>government</kwd><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>executive power</kwd><kwd>legislative power</kwd><kwd>judiciary</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This article was prepared in the framework of the work on the grant of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists No. MK-6113.2021.2 on the topic “The State Structure of Russia and China: Comparative Legal Research.”</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Creswell J.W. &amp; Plano Clark V.L.
