Alan Leong
One month before his death, he wrote "Hong Kong Wrong—What would Cowperthwaite say?" in "The Wall Street Journal", criticizing Donald Tsang, Chief Executive of Hong Kong, for abandoning "positive non interventionism." Tsang later said he was merely changing the slogan to "big market, small government", where small government is defined as less than 20% of GDP. In a debate between Tsang and his rival Alan Leong before the 2007 Hong Kong Chief Executive election, Leong introduced the topic and jokingly accused Tsang of angering Friedman to death (Friedman had died only a year prior).
