ziasudraBig, BIG news for me, since I have friends and family members in Hong Kong.
Well, so honestly I'd be hard pressed to find anyone who *likes* Tung Chee-hwa as Hong Kong's (soon to be ex-)Chief Executive. But while not many might be sad to see him go, the political implication could be huge.

Speculations, anyone?

Ming Pao: here if you have an onlin Ming Pao account, here if you don't. Standard HK newspaper, good news source.
Sing Tao Daily: here. I liked this paper better before it became stereotypically commercialized—for the U.S. edition anyway.
South China Morning Post (English): here, here and here. Unfortunately, a paid account is required :(
The Standard (English): here and specifically, here. No quality control from me here...I'm unfamiliar with The Standard so I don't know its news bias. It seems to be an offshoot of Sing Tao, and the articles look okay.]
