In her talk entitled ‘The Future of Democracy’, Ms. Eu outlined the importance of democracy even in a society like Hong Kong. ‘There’s always an inevitable conflict of interest between the government and the people. All governments, autocratic or not, prefer efficiency, harmony and control.’ She urged contemplation of questions such as ‘Who will guarantee that Hong Kong values will last?’ Quoting Legco’s debate on Zhao Lianhai, she observed a marked difference between the pro-democrats and the pro-establishment camp: the former based their arguments on issues of conscience and rights, while the latter, though in favour of leniency for Zhao, believed the incident was strictly a matter of China’s internal affairs. The RCHV is dedicated to making explicit the values that underpin people’s choices about a range of important issues for the future of our community, issues such as democracy, the environment, housing, health care, social justice and so on. Prof. David Parker, RCHV director, says, ‘Whether we follow everybody else to the shopping malls on Sunday afternoons, or attend a rally about the environment or the political future of Hong Kong—such choices depend on our values. In the end, our community is either enriched or impoverished by the choices that people make about matters like these. But how many of us ever take the time to reflect on or to discuss the values that underpin our choices?’ The process of discussion in the seminars, he explains, is designed to bring the debated values up into awareness through explicit articulation.
