| Summary / Abstract (Note) | ON NOVEMBER 8-15, 2012, China held the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in which a process of generational change in Chinese leadership began.
This time around the preparation and the congress itself occurred in the midst of a rather complex situation. It is impossible not to recall the removal from power (at the year's start) of one of the most popular politicians, the head of the Chongqing municipal Party committee, son of famous revolutionary Bo Yibo - Bo Xilai, who aspired for one of the highest party posts. In addition, a role was played by Western media reports concerning Vice President Xi Jinping and Premier Wen Jiabao's "family riches" that are hard to make without protection from above. |
