With the new team of Chinese leaders at the helm following the successful hosting of the 16th Party Congress in November 2002, the attention of China scholars has now shifted to the raft of challenges that await the new leadership. In the economic realm, there are unlikely to be any sharp changes in the direction of economic policy-making although the leadership faces a number of daunting issues, such as rising urban unemployment, potential rural unrest and the huge debt burden of state banks.
In the political arena, power succession has only just begun even though the leadership transition is almost complete. It is unclear how the working relationship among the triumvirate of Hu Jintao, Zeng Qinghong and Wen Jiabao will unfold. The jury is still out whether Hu Jintao can provide the leadership and vision to deal head-on with a number of burning issues, like corruption and the need for political reform.
