		A day after Tung took the reins in Hong Kong, the Thai baht lost 20% of its value, triggering the Asia-wide financial crisis that eventually crippled Hong Kong's economy and pushed unemployment to an unheard-of high of 6.3% last year (it's now 5.1%).

Tung has also been saddled with an administrative and political structure that many regard as inherently unworkable: an unelected executive accountable to an elected legislature that has, effectively, no policymaking function.
		Indeed, Tung has frequently disappointed local citizens who would like to see him speak up more for the "Two Systems" part of Hong Kong's political equation and less for "One Country." Unfortunately for Tung, deference to Beijing is not the only charge leveled against him.
