On universal suffrage of Hong Kong: "The Basic Law grants Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy, which is our core value. If elected, I will uphold the policy of 'one country, two systems; Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy'."

On children born by non-native parents: "177,000 children have been born in Hong Kong by non-native parents over the past few years. This greatly influences Hong Kong. A slow remedy cannot meet such urgency. Administrative measures should be adopted."

On real estate policy: "The policy of 'Hong Kong land for Hong Kong people' should be implemented in order to relieve the housing demand pressure caused by non-native people. More public rental apartments should be constructed. Low-interest or interest-free loans should go to the masses in order to help middle-class real estate buyers."

On youth policy: "After my participation in the election, I hope to win support through my philosophy and political programs. Regrettably, people throw mud at me, attacking my integrity and personality by unlawful and immoral means."

On education policy: "We should promote free infant education, improve qualifications of kindergarten teachers and establish a remuneration system; relieve the burden of primary and secondary school teachers and students; increase the funding for college enrollment and private university enrollment; set up quality private universities; and reduce parents' expenses on textbooks.”

On freedom of speech: "If elected, I will maintain Hong Kong's core values, which include freedom of the Press and freedom of speech. People who make allegations must have concrete evidence. The accused ones don't need to testify against themselves."
