昨晚（12月18日）灼見名家在灣仔龍袍酒家舉行「名家飯局」，探討近日區議會選舉結果出人意表，泛民壓倒性勝出，「香港往何處去？」
曾在英、美、港等地新聞機構任職的資深傳媒人、著名電視時事節目主持兼專欄作家褚簡寧（Michael Chugani）為嘉賓作深入分析。
曾在2014年「雨傘運動」後，以犀利的洞察力指出，港獨不可行；今天他以同樣犀利的詞鋒，指出林鄭政府施政的弊端，抗爭青年的彷徨，給香港把脈，為未來作出啟示。
除非林鄭月娥鼓起勇氣告訴北京的上司停止侵蝕香港的自治權，允許進行真正的民主選舉並結束廣泛的大陸化，否則香港危機可能會以悲劇告終。
需要替換的不是特首，而是政治體制。 缺少這些都不會避過香港的計時炸彈。林鄭和她的老闆們以為街頭的憤怒最終會消散，一切都會恢復正常，是自欺欺人。
「香江第一才子」陶傑作客席主持，當然亦有他的精闢評論。指出香港特首林鄭月娥，全香港都知道，多次失去和解的時機，一早就應該辭職。香港6月來的反送中亂局，始作俑者就是林鄭及她北面的領導，解鈴還需繫鈴人。
Master Insight organised a seminar in Wanchai on “What Next for Hong Kong?” last night to explore the results of the recent district council elections with the unexpected overwhelming success of the pan-Democrats.
Michael Chugani, a senior journalist who has worked in news agencies in Britain, the United States, Hong Kong and other places, a well-known TV current affairs host and columnist, made in-depth analyses for the guests.
After the “Umbrella Movement” in 2014, he pointed out with great insight that Hong Kong’s independence is not feasible; today, with similar incisive views, he pointed out the shortcomings of the Carrie Lam government administration, the disillusion of the young protesters, and reveals where he thinks Hong Kong is heading.
Unless Carrie Lam summons the courage to tell her Beijing superiors to stop eroding Hong Kong’s autonomy, allowing genuine democratic elections and ending widespread mainlandisation, the Hong Kong crisis could end in tragedy.
Carrie Lam and her bosses thought that the anger on the streets would eventually dissipate, everything would return to normal? They are deluding themselves.
“Hong Kong’s No. 1 Talent” Chip Tao as the guest host, of course, also shared his brilliant commentaries. He pointed out that Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam had lost the opportunity for reconciliation many times and should have resigned long time ago as the root cause of the current crisis since June. The key to resolution lies in Lam and her superior up north who initiated the fiasco.
