由此引申的,是對何謂愛國的定義。其中最奇妙的,就是香港愛國保守陣營在道德立場上,竟然無法從任何國家感情民族大義的訴求來公開反駁。反對平反六四的「愛國」陣營的最大理據,就是近20年來國家發展迅速。這就形成「自由民主派講愛國道德、保守愛國派講經濟發展」的超級荒誕結果。Gordon Mathews與馬傑偉、呂大樂合寫的《Hong Kong, China: Learning to belong to a nation》中就以「國家對市場」作為分析框架,觀察到香港跟世界大部分地方不一樣,不以國家而以金錢作為合理化一切行為的傾向。而本地保守派的經濟發展穩定論,其實相當100%香港人之餘,妙在國內的國家觀念,也受到這種100%的資本市場經濟主義影響。
Keep dreaming.
Democratic and economic growth can surely co-exist.
Since when only dictatorship would foster economy?

Hong Kong never had democracy under the British regime, and yet HK was able to develop its ecconomy. On the other hand, the slumdog millionaire in India are way poorer than China or Hong Kong even though India is democratic.
Japan had experienced rapid economic growth during the Meiji era, long before they had any democracy whatsoever.作者: soli 時間: 2009-6-6 06:52
What id common sense?
CCP waste hundreds of billions, half of a century and numerous lives to find a workable way to handle economy, by morphing from socialism to extreme capitalism, while maintaining dictatorship , the only one of a kind in the world.
The CCP keep breaking their promise not to intervene HK government, and the empty promise of a general election, when is it going to be now?
Common sense is Human Right and Democracy belong to people, they just robbed it from their people. They rule by the law they made, but fail to comply themselves.
If anyone believe their philosophy , they might as well return and live their lives there, and ditch the Canadian passport.作者: peter236 時間: 2009-6-6 20:13
