The development of Northeast NT in Hong Kong

There are lot of citizens against the development plan because of damage to the ecosystem, the existing farming community and waste of urban area needed for redevelopment.

Some environment protection organizations urged to develop the nearby golf course without thinking that it is unique tournament venue for Hong Kong Open for many decades.

Though there some sessions of public consultation, the public opinion was rejected without a good reason. Thus the public anger develops for a few months.

The bundling negotiation technique used by  legislators may be annoying. However, it is not good for a government to ignore it. The government should reveal more its own principles and rationale.

On the other hand, the citizens who fights for local interests may set up a shadow cabinet to conduct a more open and sound public consultation. It can help citizens to gain more bargaining power. It also be a good chance to practice autonomy which should be legal under one country two systems. It is also what Hong Kong Autonomy Movement fights for.

新儒家思想

其實中國古代儒家思想在清朝已經開始沒落，從原本以禮儀形式來體現仁的精神與道德變成只注重形式。當西方列強入侵中國時，中國文化已經非常僵化，不能自我完善，更不能面對當時科學精神及民主自由思想衝擊。從洋務運動的半信半疑，到五四運動的徹底西化，文化革命的徹底破壞，基本上走上厭棄本身文化的道路。可是，當放棄原有價值的時候，卻未能接納或者建立新的價值。在這個社會轉變的時候，出現了社會價值真空。輸入了馬克思思想仍然未能解決問題。唯物主義未能針對人性與文化提供恰當的思想架構。直到80年代，學者由儒家思想探索，希望建立新儒家思想，讓它成為現代中國的社會價值。

當代新儒家代表人物牟宗三先生提出了「三統論」的解釋，嘗試疏清中國現代化的問題。所謂「三統」就是道統、學統、政統。道統代表著道德主體，即肯定道德價值的重要性，肯定孔孟所開出的人生及宇宙的價值根源；學統代表著知性主體，即肯定科學發展的意義，肯定學術的獨立性；政統代表著政治主體，即肯定民主政治的必然性。如果傳統道德價值與現代自由民主平等兼容，便能夠為現代中國建立穩定的價值。

可惜，單單肯定道德價值，卻沒有實際操作，於是流於空泛概念。當中需要更多更複雜的問題。
