The organization was founded after Tien complained that the New People's Party was becoming too close to Beijing.^[2][3]

Although it is aligned with the pro-Beijing camp, Roundtable has found itself at odds the camp on certain issues. One such example is when Tien supported scrapping the pro-Beijing extradition law.^[4] Another example is when he supported an independent inquiry into police abuses. The group has been considered one of the more moderate members of the pro-Beijing camp.^[5]
