John Kennedy

Navigation: China abroad | China at home | Chinese media
In 2002 when Hu Jintao gave his acceptance speech at the Communist Party's 16th national congress, he spent half of it praising then-outgoing president Jiang Zemin and his "Three Represents" theory.
Yesterday at the Great Hall of the People, Xi Jinping had his first opportunity to give the world indication of what sort of leader he plans to be, and during his speech Xi not only left out any mention of Hu but also what Hu wants to be his political legacy, a 'scientific concept of development'.
'Harmonious society' also failed to get a shout-out, as did Mao Zedong, but Xi was generous enough to give Hu a handshake for the cameras.

	-- Less money, mo’ problems: What China, the U.S., and Europe have in common The stakes are unimaginably huge.

	-- China Drone Maker Expects to Double Sales on Islands Dispute The country intends to increase monitoring at sea amid a row with Japan about the ownership of islands in the East China Sea, Huang Xingdong, deputy head of CASIC’s drone-making arm, said in a Nov. 13 interview at the Zhuhai airshow.
CNBC
	-- Why China’s New Conservative Leaders Will Be Reformists At first glance, China’s new set of leaders look like a conservative lot, but country watchers warn not to go simply by the past credentials of these seven decision-makers as they are likely to push ahead with market-friendly reforms crucial to the future of the world’s second largest economy.
CNN

Guardian
	-- China unveils new faces but old policies as Xi takes over party and military It was only the second orderly transition since the founding of the People's Republic by revolutionaries, who included Xi's father.
