Xi Jinping listed 4 musts and 4 hopes during his visit to HK. Think tanks from Guangdong, HK and Macau gathered at once to discuss how will these national directives apply to us.

As members of the civil society, we are also compelled to do things that the govt cannot or refuse to do. We can reach out to other groups, initiate policy consultation platforms and listen to aspirations of the youth.
