Foreign Policy in Focus: Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao
Interhemispheric Resource Center/Institute for Policy Studies, Foreign Policy In Focus (FPIF) Program, Albuquerque, NM, USA
Supplied note: "'Jiang's Game and Hu's Advantages', By Cheng Li, November 21, 2002. [...] The much-anticipated 16th Party Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which ended in early November, followed the classic rhythm in China studies: optimism alternating with cynicism, certainty giving way to ambiguity [...] Two contrasting scenarios loom large in assessing Hu's political future. [...(1)] Hu does not necessarily intend to challenge Jiang; Jiang in turn may not have any incentive to replace Hu. [...] [...(2)] Hu is politically too weak and too naive to effectively manage the political apparatus of this most populous nation in the world. [...] - tmc."
