• <95% sure>

  Though without making a serious research, I think when a leader of anything (city, region, country) criticizes the media without giving concrete counter-evidence, he’s 95% doomed to be either (1) a dictator or (2) a soon-to-resign leader.

  The best response is NOT to comment on how bad media is. For that it is never to be good. So you have to either control the media (which leads to 1 above; to make it worse but for enemy only) or,  demonstrate you are good and committed nothing wrong (which means, the media is wrong)

  When you comments the commentaries, you bring nothing but more controversies. This NEVER solve the things, which eventually rewards you a resignation. Basically, the HK government as a whole is approaching towards the stage 5 of its policy-promoting cycle.

  But how can he defend? It is simply impossible. Maybe the media is true. Because the government is unyielding in all of its policies, and the officials are adamant in letting the critics win (even though this will cause lose-lose situation), everything is doomed to failure if it does not start correctly and smoothly. If withdrawing the policy at earlier stages, maybe it can help. But at this stage, retreating the policy will only bring more smoking-gun of a government-deliver-benefits-to-business conspiracy.

  And the most haliarious part of this story, which none of us would have expected, is this guy just took a couple of holidays when everything is out of control. You think Bush would have a trip in whenever during 911? Yes, Obama did have his trip when health care reform was under attack. But what? He has a team of professionals politicians to defend for him and his policies.

  How about Tsang? He has none. Basically, everyone in his circle is looking for the next CE.

  Goodbye Donald. I think your days as CE are counting down.
