Xi opens generation gap
The most significant part of China's power transition was not the shift to a new leader but the resignation of his predecessor from posts of influence. That should give new Party General Secretary Xi Jinping an opportunity to govern alone, out of the shadow of the older generations. Steps have been taken to ensure elements of the past survive, but it's unlikely these can hold back reform. - Francesco Sisci (Nov 20, '12)
