to represent authoritatively the views of the people Able of Hong Kong" and "More directly accountable to the people of Hong Kong" have all gone. What is in the new White Paper that is not in the old White Paper of 1984? In their place we have "prudent and gradual development", "smooth transition", "high degree of continuity

Are they in keeping with a high degree of self-administration from Hong Kong and autonomy for Hong Kong?

Sir, I have to respond to the speeches made by my honourable colleagues some have made loud calls for unity and ex everyone to look ahead. I am in favour of unity and of looking ahead, but unity must be based on the similar principles shared, or else it would be a betrayal. We cannot trade with principles; to look ahead in unity, there must be the same target or objective, or else we will lose our direction, go astray or go off on a tangent. Some say that we are idealists, although idealism is not a derogatory
word. I must return this paper crowng I do not admit I am a pure idealist; my every opinion offered has to do with reality. Forget not the past, for it serves to instruct futures There are rear mirrors in motor cars. When one drives forward, it is inevitable
