My Take

Edmund Ho occupies a fascinating seam in history, and that is what holds my attention. Born in Portuguese Macau in 1955 and educated at York University, he became the first Chief Executive of the Macau Special Administrative Region, steering it through the delicate decade after the handover. Standing at a hinge point between Portuguese and Chinese eras takes real nerve, and the honors he holds from both worlds underscore how thoroughly he bridged them. I judge politicians by what they leave behind, and the composure Ho showed at such a pivotal moment earns my genuine admiration.
