Hu's China

On Saturday the Chinese President will have officially consolidated his power over the Chinese communist party and over the nation as a whole. President Hu Jintao who since 2002 has been China's leader has never really been in complete charge of the communist party, but over the last few years he has completed replacing many members of the party with his own cronies.

Many analysts believed that Hu would be a liberal, reformist President that would push China towards more democratic reforms. However, after three years in power it has been seen that he is a party loyalist that wishes to bring back many of the socialist ideals that have been lost over the last two decades of economic reform.

Hu has also shown that he is a man that believes in the ultimate goal of China becoming the dominant superpower of the world. This has led to a much more nationalistic feeling in China that currently threatens world stability.
