Tho I like to see a Chinese on the top WHO posting, Margaret Chan's famous blunder line, "I eat chicken everyday" is still scaring the heck out of me these days.

Chan moved up in rank in HK Government in the 70's during the Brits' rule.  Well, you and I know damn well how the medical professionals treat the general public in the past.  Even now, if you want to schedule a prostate cancer surgery in a public hospital, you have to wait about 10-18 months to get it done.  That's not really adequate medical treatment.  The handling of H5N1 and SAR a few years ago truly reflect the HK officials irresponsibility.

China has been grooming Chan lately.  But where is the "one country, two systems" spirit?

Well, Dr. Magaret Chan's got the job now.  I certianly hope she can excel without any northern influence but it's easy to say than done becuase she owes them a lot.  Surprised China would groom her instead of its own Minister of Health but I guess it's w double whamy -- Chinese and female.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。6 h: e' z) u: v1 R

I still remember China's strategy in the Summer Olympic game bid the 1990's and how Beijing reacts to it when Australia (or was it Spain) was picked.  A lot of anger shown and a lot of name calling at the time.
