There will not be consensus and there will not be major progress (in Hong Kong),

India is a very sexy market right now and I don't see why Hong Kong should not be much more ambitious to expand the market to serve other Asian companies as well.

We need to be part of the big national conversation, albeit as Hong Kong residents. We need to butt in, and we need to have something to say. In the end, this has got to be a battle of ideas.

We may need a Hong Kong II,

If we scale back in Hong Kong, we should not scale back for the round as a whole. It is too important.

You can call it a farce; it's not an election in the way you know it, but that's Hong Kong, it's very sad.
