China's new Poliburo

[ahfatzia]

China's ruling Communist Party unveiled an older, conservative leadership line-up on Thursday that appears unlikely to take the drastic action needed to tackle pressing issues like social unrest, environmental degradation and corruption.

The Politburo Standing Committee, the top decision making body of China, is expected to reduce the number of members from 9 to 7 for quicker decision makings and efficiencies. This is the lineup to run China for the next 10 years:

* Xi Jinping 习近平 59- General Secretary of CPC, expect to takeover the Presidency of China and most likely the Chairman of Central Military Commission as well in March next year.

You should know as well as anybody, of all the countries in the world, China always has a soft spot for Vietnam.

Sorry mate vietnam is the last thing on their mind

You should know as well as anybody, of all the countries in the world, China always has a soft spot for Vietnam.

No we dont the SCS ring the bell?

 

[terranMarine]

The way we debate with Vietcongs on PDF should answer that question.

It's all geopolitics and Deng said it aptly when 小朋友不乖 some punishments are called for.

I think this team is a group of professionals that represent different political cliques and should work together well enough. On the surface there won't be much political changes but with a new addition of the anti corruption czar, Wang Qishan 王岐山, we see which way China is heading. There's no doubt corruption is the biggest hindrance for any country to move ahead and if China can somewhat control it, nothing will stop her from becoming one of best if not the best run country in the world.

LOL... 他们真的不乖。

As for those who are interested in the foreign policy of the new Politburo, the word here is "continuity". It's a collective leadership, there aren't going to be any sudden policy shifts.

 

[INDIC]

Are we Indians going to experience any change in foreign policy towards us.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

Are we Indians going to experience any change in foreign policy towards us.

Probably not.

Same as before, if your actions are against our interests, we will respond negatively... if your actions help our interests, we'll respond positively.

Standard geopolitics.

 

[gpit]

I only have a question: are they all friendly to Vietnam?
or who is the hawk, who the deaf?

Why would or how could anybody be friendly to the untrustworthy ones?

On a serious note, if Vietnam and China were enemy, it would be bad for both, and it would be worse for VN than for China due to many aspects. So the two countries should strive to be friends.

 

[Icecreamcart]

Are we Indians going to experience any change in foreign policy towards us.

Probably not, the line-up just says - "Business as Usual". A few economic reforms here and there, but nothing revolutionary.

Everywhere I read is just disappointment that the reformers are being sidelined by Jiang Zemin's group.

Probably because all the Western press were secretly hoping for radical political reforms, turning China into a perfect democracy, freeing Tibet and filling the land with rainbows and unicorns.
