China's Communist party unveils new team

It seems like China is sticking to the same president as the last five years. Hu Jintao won a second consecutive five-year term in office, as China's Communist party chief today. With a new era, comes a new lineup that features potential successors, but yet, it could invite a divisive battle to succeed him. During this new era, Hu’s signature policy programme is to help the poor and saw the retirement of a key rival. I quote “We are fully aware of our difficult tasks and great responsibilities," Hu said as he introduced the new nine-man Politburo standing committee, the party's most powerful body. Hu’s ability to manage his policy and making it happen will determine how united the party is in dealing with tension over the yawning gap between the rich and poor in the country. However, if he does manage to stick to his policy and goal, he will be able to turn his attention and money on health, education and other services which had beed negelacted in the headlong drive for economic suceess and growth.
I am shocked by the outcome of the election, yet happy of the result. Hu Jintao has been a great chief of China, and has led China to the glory road, from my own opinion. China is developing and spending quickly and with the same leader in office helps because there won’t be much changes made and growth of China can progress at the same speed. I support Hu’s policy towards helping the poor and decrease the gap between the rich and the poor because it can really affect China’s economy in the future. If Hu can manage this big tension, he will be favored by the majority of the people of China and he will have more time on his hands to imporve health care and education in China which are also crucial for the growth of China. I believe Hu Jintao and his new team will continue to lead China into prosperity and wealth!

I agree that ONE OF THE OBJECTIVES should be balancing the rich and the poor. However, what is the crucial factor that prevents this from happening? It should be a corrupted government. The government system of China is not perfect enough. The Central Government could not control the corrupted branches and politicians. A city/province could be apparently prosperous, underneath may be corrupted government who abets gangsters that harshly impacts the poor and weak of that society. That's why I think the first thing that Central Government should do is to get rid of corrupted provincial/municipal governments.
