China Daily states clearly Mao Zedong Thought isn't going anywhere
Mao Zedong Thought is here to stay, at least for now, writes China Daily. Also, Hu Jintao is set to hand over his seat as Chairman of the Central Military Commission, according to an exclusive South China Morning Post report.
CCP 18th Party Congress roundup
Mark MacKinnon with The Globe and Mail looks at the written version of outgoing president Hu Jintao's work report and the parts he left out as he delivered his speech at the opening last week of the Party Congress.
On Saturday, China Daily clarified any doubts that Mao Zedong Thought is to remain the guiding principle of China's Communist Party.
The South China Morning Post also ran a few great pieces over the weekend, learning that rumoured reformer Li Yuanchao is likely to be assigned a portfolio making him responsible for Hong Kong and Macau affairs, that Wen Jiabao made last-minute calls for reforms, that the mainland's food safety crisis remains a smiling matter for top officials, and that public health administration, human rights, and Communist Party factional politics remain equally lighthearted issues. One of the biggest questions accompanying the Congress has also been answered.
The Sunday Times predicts that reformers will emerge from the congress with more sway within the Communist Party than conservatives, an outcome The New York Times doesn't expect to see any time soon although The Washington Post does see potential in future Premier Li Keqiang for some incremental reforms.
