China's Hu Gives Hong Kong Leaders a Scolding, Chinese-Style
Chinese President Hu Jintao told Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa and his senior officials to reflect on the past seven years and learn from mistakes, an expression often used in political scoldings. ``Hong Kong has to draw conclusions from experience and find out what's been insufficient,'' Hu told Tung, according to a videotape of a meeting between the two in Macau during festivities marking Macau's return to China five years ago.
Too much democracy.
Hong Kong officials ``must continue to increase their governing ability and the standard of administration,'' Hu said. The admonition to Hong Kong was in contrast to the praise heaped on Macau during Hu's first visit to the city. In a speech marking the second inauguration of Macau Chief Executive Edmond Ho, Hu praised the former Portuguese colony's progress, saying its achievements ``are a source of great joy to all of us.''
Too little democracy.

#2 Thought it interesting. Macau is Tong central and fairly crawling with "organized crime." If I recall correctly.

#3 Hu had better "draw conclusions from experience and find out what's been insufficient" because he's the one that's riding on the back of a tiger. Hong Kong is not one of China's big problems.
