China's New Rulers
Just-completed Communist Party Congress replaces China's top leaders

A Roundtable Discussion
The just-completed 16th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party has ushered in a new generation (the so-called fourth generation) of China’s top leaders. Chinese President Jiang Zemin and other top leaders have handed over office to a younger generation (generally in their late 50s and early 60s), which includes many individuals with substantial experience (education, etc.) abroad.
The roundtable will discuss who the new leaders are; what residual power may remain with the older, third generation; what policy changes, if any, can be expected; and the likely direction of development in China over the next decade or two (the 16th Congress committed the government to quadrupling China’s national income by the year 2020).
