If it's entirely a numbers game – numeric representation – then obviously you'd be talking to half the people in Hong Kong [that] earn less than US$1,800 a month [the median wage in HK]. You would end up with that kind of politics and policies. View quote

People are disenfranchised because they don't vote, they are disengaged because we don't talk to them, and we don't listen, not directly. There is a sense of being disowned, and therefore, there's a deep sense of distrust between the people and the government, or by the people of government. I want to bridge that gap and I want to re-engage with the people. View quote

We are still a model in ways economic and non-economic. When I say things non-economic, I would include governance - and rule of law is a key element. Many, I sincerely believe they tell the truth, say that they still look to Hong Kong for inspiration. View quote

Before 1997, some people were publicly claiming that they would be put behind bars [after the resumption of Chinese sovereignty], or not be allowed to return if they left. Some people even feared that certain books or magazines would not be read in Hong Kong and that the Chinese government would somehow monitor the Internet. They've been proved wrong, and I can prove them wrong again. View quote
