I don't think that capitalism should be unbridled, if by "unbridled" you mean unregulated.

It behaves more like a tribe than a democratic institution...responding to custom rather than reason and using its own liturgy and language for the conduct of its domestic affairs.

I believe in trying to get a balance between individual freedom on the one hand and social responsibility on the other.

Hong Kong represents the kind of Asia with which both West and East are comfortable... It offers, in that sense, a vision for the future of Asia.

In democracy everyone has the right to be represented, even the jerks.

I think that if politics is just about getting your backside on important seats, then it's a pretty worthless endeavor.

Hong Kong's people will get what they want, despite China's objections. Freedom invariably wins in the end.
