Sure. I'm more comfortable with Hu.

It's an incremental improvement.

However, There are plenty of power mongers and aged dyed-in-the-wool Communists who are looking over his shoulder and lurking in the wings.

And, as with Shrillery Hellery--there are plenty who naturally love tyranny and want it increased with them on top.

THANKFULLY, MOST OF THE POPULACE AND EVEN A FAIR NUMBER IN THE PARTY are *sick* of tyranny and aching deeply for more democracy, freedom, integrity in government, the rule of law etc.

But when I spoke to a lot of Party leaders, I was impressed by the sincerity on the part of virtually all of them in the room who REALLY WANT AN END to the sorts of craziness that multiplies corruption instead of removing it; that multiplies tyranny and abuse instead of removing it; that prevents personal freedoms instead of encouraging and supporting them.

They want a China truly for the masses that they can all be proud of with their heads held high for reasons of integrity, honorable governance etc.

They are not sure exactly what forms such should take for China and very unsure how to get there.

Hu is an improvement. Jiang is still too powerful, however. I pray he steps in his own pits and doodoo so horribly that his power is rapidly diminished.

From time to time, I lurk in mainland Chinese forums and found, sadly, that a majority of China’s general public still relates conquering and/or defeating the US as an ultimate justification of China’s national strength. They believe China can and should become the king of the world. I blame this on the ChiCom’s so called “nationalism” education. They were misguided into believing that aggression means patriotism. If you don’t hate America, you are not a patriot. See how Communism can deteriorate mankind and change a generation’s thinking. They are turning human into monsters. I think no one except Christianity can save them.
