Career civil servant Donald Tsang (???) was declared the winner of Hong Kong's race for chief executive yesterday, but he received few congratulations from editorial writers, who accused him of arrogantly steamrolling his rivals in an undemocratic campaign.
Tsang snapped up about 85 percent of the nominations from a 796-member election committee that picks the leaders in the territory. The election panel is dominated by members partial to Beijing.
Hong Kong officials certified Tsang's win yesterday, and China's State Council was expected to give its final approval next week.
