	Hong Kong Leader Seen Ready to Quit (washingtonpost.com)
		BEIJING, March 2 -- Hong Kong's embattled chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa, who faithfully carried out China's wishes in the former British colony and then became a target of mass street protests, is preparing to resign at the end of a meeting of the Chinese legislature this month, two people close to his government said Wednesday.
		Though chants for Tung to step down have become a standard chorus at pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong, politicians and analysts described his possible departure as a deft political maneuver by the Chinese leadership that could ultimately weaken the territory's democratic opposition by depriving it of a favorite target.
		China last year ruled out direct elections to choose Hong Kong's next chief executive, but Tung promised to consider limited reforms, and lawmakers have been pressing a variety of changes aimed at diluting Beijing's control of the process.
