Tsang sworn in as HK's chief executive in Beijing
Hong Kong's new leader was sworn in yesterday at a ceremony in Beijing, completing the first leadership change in the former British colony since it returned to Chinese rule eight years ago.
Donald Tsang (???) took his oath of office in the cavernous Great Hall of the People, the seat of China's legislature, where he met with Premier Wen Jiabao (???).

Tsang replaced Tung Chee-hwa (???), who resigned in March citing failing health. Many believe that Tung was pushed out by Beijing, which had lost confidence in him.
