| Summary/Abstract |
The recently installed leadership in Beijing has to carry forward the legacy of Deng Tsiaoping. He was a life-long communist and Chinese nationalist who espoused market economics, not for its own sake but to help the Party and China. China has strengths, like the power of the economy, the lack of a political opposition and a middle class that has been bought off. But wealth disparities, corruption and the environment will all need careful handling. Only Xi Jinping and Li Kegiang remain from the old Politburo. They and their colleagues must maintain control while meeting rising expectations.
