China appointed Donald Tsang as Hong Kong's new leader Tuesday, and the veteran civil servant began his two-year term by expressing confidence the territory will become more democratic.
Tsang's appointment completed Hong Kong's first leadership change since the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997 with promises that the capitalist city would enjoy a high-degree of autonomy.

Hong Kong's leader said Friday that too much democracy could lead to another Cultural Revolution, when gangs of youths were given free rein to persecute suspected government opponents in mainland China.
Donald Tsang 's comments quickly drew criticism from pro- democracy lawmakers who questioned his willingness to fight for democracy in Hong Kong. Days earlier, Tsang delivered an annual policy address that was criticized for lacking a timetable for establishing full democracy in the former British territory.

HONG KONG -- Tung Chee-hwa submitted his resignation to China's leaders on Thursday after nearly eight years as Hong Kong's chief executive, beginning the first transfer of power since Britain returned the territory to Chinese rule in 1997.
The second-ranking official here, Donald Tsang, who will take over at least through this summer and probably well beyond then, now faces the tricky balancing act of assuring China of his loyalty without antagonizing the many Hong Kong residents who want a leader willing to stand up to Beijing, especially on democracy and civil liberties.

HONG KONG - Pressure mounted for Hong Kong and Beijing leaders to respond to calls for full democracy in this Chinese territory as tens of thousands of protesters marched Sunday, demanding the right to choose their leaders.
Outside the government's headquarters, protesters demanded Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang respond immediately to calls for a road map specifying when and how the territory can have universal suffrage, promised as an eventual goal under its mini-constitution.

Donald Tsang was comfortably re-elected as Hong Kong's chief executive yesterday, days after dismissing advice from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that he use Afghanistan as a model for democratizing the Chinese autonomous territory.
Mr. Tsang, who was given a five-year term by a 795-member committee representing various professional groups, said the former British colony's first contested election for chief executive had "laid out a solid foundation for moving toward" direct elections in the future.

HONG KONG -- The Hong Kong government on Thursday closed the pier through which British governors had arrived and departed for decades, as a British diplomat speaking a few blocks away said that although his country remained committed to its former colony, relations with Hong Kong had become "just another foreign relationship.
No senior Hong Kong officials attended the speech by the diplomat, Stephen Bradley, the British consul general. Some went to the airport to greet two pandas donated by the Chinese government to live at a Hong Kong amusement park. Donald Tsang, Hong Kong's chief executive, was at a trade show in central China.

About 800 delegates cast ballots early today for Hong Kong's next chief executive in a vote that is widely expected to return incumbent Donald Tsang to power for a five-year term.
No one here even pretends that the election today is fully democratic. The delegates from Hong Kong's business and professional groups, will choose between Mr. Tsang and Alan Leong, who represents the pro-democracy camp.
