Chan is Hong Kong's most popular official, but she didn't win Tung's confidence right away.
Chan now says she was involved in two of Hong Kong's biggest economic initiatives: negotiations with Disney to build a theme park and government plans to help develop a cyberport.
Chan has had to accept that Tung consults policy secretaries directly, second-guesses her decisions, and just doesn't depend on her the way Patten did.

Tsang's sycophantic performance was on par with those regularly given by his boss, Hong Kong chief executive Tung Chee-hwa, in terms of pandering to the whims of the Chinese central government in Beijing.
Chan, viewed by many as the conscience of Hong Kong, never really clicked with Tung Chee-hwa, the shipping tycoon hand-picked to run the city after the British handed it back to China.
Chan was not only a passionate defender of the rule of law in Hong Kong, but she believed that much more needed to be done to make its government accountable to the people.

Mr Tung's first term had some taste of that, when he was forced by the political realities of the transition to share power with Anson Chan Fang On-sang, then the incumbent chief secretary.
Despite the dismal performance of his first term, the central government decided it was the lack of support from senior mandarins under Mrs Chan's shadow that rendered his leadership ineffective.
He was given the go-ahead to introduce a ministerial system and handpick his own team, with key pro-central government and pro-business parties co-opted into the executive council.
