SPEAKER LUNCHEON “The Corolla & Corollary of Democracy” Speaker: Tsim Tak-Lung, Political analyst and writer 5 April 2017, Wednesday, 12:30 – 14:00 Hong Kong Club, 1 Jackson Road HK$450 for HKDF Members and Sponsors HK$600 for Guests Cultural values and social institutions give rise to, nurture and sustain a democratic form of government. These values and institutions are the petals which make up the corolla of the flower that is democracy. They are the conditions that must obtain if democracy is to blossom and bloom and become whole. The corollary of democracy is what leads off from there - after democracy has become a generally accepted way of life. How does this apply to Hong Kong and China? |
