Deleting news events[edit]

Introductory section[edit]

I streamlined it a bit because I don't see a need for such in-depth description of an event, especially in an introduction.

Election of the Chief Executive[edit]

I deleted a small paragraph in this section. I think that this article is about who the Chief Executive of Hong Kong is, as well as information about this position, and not about Tung's (or anyone's) history. Political debates in Hong Kong is pretty much unrelated to this article as well. Anyone who wanted to know about these information would have searched for Tung Chee Hwa and Politics of Hong Kong (which are linked from this article btw).

"The 2005 events"[edit]

The entire section was well-written but I think it's, sadly, unrelated. It's merely a brief account of a brief period (Mar 2005 - Jun 2005) in Hong Kong. Anyone who wanted to know more about Tung's resignation would have gone to Tung's article and, possibly, furthered to Tung Chee Hwa's resignation. 199.111.230.195 00:46, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Table[edit]

the wikicode is impossible to figure out. Please add that Donald Tsang served as acting CE from 12 Mar 2005 to 1 Jun 2005 and Henry Tang served as the same from 1 Jun 2005 to 24 Jun 2005.--Jiang 01:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sir Donald[edit]

Has anyone noticed the tendency of editors of this page to have a tug of war over Sir Donald, Sir Donald, Sir Donald? I'm kind of tired of watching the pendulum swinging backwards and forwards on this. I don't particularly care one way or the other, although I am of the opinion that one or two 'Sir Donald's is enough, and any more would be in violation of WP:POINT. Maybe I'll get rid of all references in the article, replacing them simply with 'Tsang' ;-) Ohconfucius (talk) 10:06, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Section moved out[edit]

The following section was taken out of the article. It is too much info all around the first CE. 90% of the info here is too detailed to apply to other CEs. Please summarize and put back in the article. Benjwong (talk) 04:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Election or byelection?[edit]

Article 46 of the Basic Law states that "The term of office of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be five years". However, following the resignaton of Tung Chee-Hwa, doubts were expressed over whether the new Chief Executive would serve a 'new' five year term, or only serve the remainder of the term of a predecessor/incumbent who departed prematurely. The debate became polarised and elevated to a mini-"constitutional crisis", since most of the individuals involved with drafting the Basic Law in the 1980s, as well as many legal experts in Hong Kong, felt that it was quite clear that the term should be five years, and that an NPCSC interpretation was opposed by Hongkongers.
On 12 March 2005, Tsang, as acting chief executive, together with Elsie Leung, the Secretary for Justice, announced the Hong Kong Government had decided, based on the advice from legal experts from the mainland, it will be the remainder of Tung's term, and would proceed to the Legislative Council to amend local laws to confirm.
On 15 March, Tsang and Elsie Leung told legislators in a council meeting that the former understanding of the government was incorrect. (See Elsie Leung's transcript for details)
On 23 March, Wang Rudeng, assistance director of the Central People's Government Liaison Office in Hong Kong, said to the press that the central government would not let the debate to carry on. He also commented that many well-educated people had shown their support to an NPCSC interpretation of the Basic Law. However, many others expressed fears that, in view of the clear lack of ambiguity of Article 45, seeking an interpretation of the Basic Law by the National People's Congress Standing Committee would undermine the principle of "One Country, Two Systems" in Hong Kong. One day later legislator Albert Chan admitted he was planning to file a judicial review.
Pre-empting the outcome of any further debate and formal interpretation by the Standing Committee, on 30 March, Cheng Siwei, a vice president of the NPCSC, reiterated the statement by the Legislative Affairs Commission of the NPCSC in mid-February that the successor should serve the remainder of the unexpired term.
Tsang and Elsie Leung met members of legislative council on 31 March and 1 April. Tsang told the press he was worried the election would not be able to be held on time, if some file a judicial review. On 1 April, both the Law Society of Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Bar Association said the term should be five years. They requested to join the delegation to Beijing during the meeting with Elsie Leung.
By 2 April, pro-Beijing parties Liberal Party, DAB and The Alliance indicated that they could accept an interpretation. Cheng Yiu Tong, non-ex-officio member of Executive Council and president of pro-Beijing Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, said there were many more benefits than shortcomings of an interpretation.
On 5 April, Tam Yiu Chung, vice-chairman of DAB, announced to the press that the government would seek an interpretation. Acting chief executive Tsang, as chief secretary, announced formally on 6 April at Legislative Council meeting.
The NPCSC confirmed their interpretation on 27 April 2005, stating the new Chief Executive would fill the vacancy only for the remainder of Tung's term.

Intro[edit]

I would think the CE is the head of Gov. first and president of ExCo second. Should I revert the first sentence? RayYung (talk) 17:03, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did it. RayYung (talk) 00:34, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Party allegiance[edit]

Although the CE is Communist Party-endorsed, (s)he is forbidden from having party allegiance. It would be simpler if we stated this in the text and removed the repetition in the table. -- Ohc ¡digame! 11:15, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated leader[edit]

Carrie Lam is the new chief executive of Hong Kong. I don't know how to change the images, and someone needs to change it. 808pikachu (talk) 18:30, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
