Policy Address

170.     We should prepare well for the implementation of universal suffrage.  Democracy is a system for power sharing.  It is not a panacea.  It works differently in different circumstances.  Only in a mature and rational social environment can it bring about good governance and benefit the people.

171.     Opportunities come to those who are ready.  Hong Kong must ride on the opportunities brought about by the rise of our country, and make giant strides in our political, social, economic and cultural development in the coming decade.  This is a mission for the SAR Government.  This is a mission for every one of us.
