    The thing is, like the pro-democrats, the pro-establishment camp is also rivened with internal divisions and power struggles. There is no love lost between the pro-business end of the camp, like the Liberal Party, and the more pro-union/working class end of the camp that Tsang and his brother originally belong. Only the HK government, and above that the Liasion Office and Beijing, holds the pro-establishment camp together through it's directives and instructions on how to vote in Legco, etc. Some in the pro-establishment camp have a little more leeway to stake out an independent position while others are under the direct control of the CCP and must follow their orders to the letter.

    Or has Tsang mellowed in old age?

    Just cannier. Proper politician understands how to cultivate his image, unlike the plutocratic or bureaucratic employees.

    It is not about all politicians, what Tsang and Lam have in common is blind obedience to Beijing, with Tsang's track record of doing so stretching much longer in time then Lam even. Besides the fact that Tsang is much better in words and ways of expressing Beijing's will doesn't make the truth any different.
