Exclusive: China power brokers agree preferred leadership team - sources

China's three most powerful men have come up with preferred candidates to head up the nation's incoming new leadership team, sources said, in a ticket that includes financial reformers but leaves a question mark over its commitment to political reform.

Guess we'll find out the final list in 1.5 week.

If 4 of them are in their mid-60s, they're more likely to be one 5 year term candidates. The emphasis seems to be on "Change via maintaining Stability," since the EU debt crisis won't likely be over until 2016.

One party rule is proven to be a disaster to any country. Graft and corruption will still be the norm in every corner of China even with the new leadership. There should be a Gorbachev like leader willing to sacrifice himself for the fast track political,legal,economic and social change in China.

Why would a country wait for the European economy to recover before making a drastic move to change the political, legal, economic and social system of China? It's either the only party, CCP-Politburo have to do it or not. Or is it that the people in the party who committed crimes against the people are trying to cover themselves up for fear that they will be hunted down once China becomes a democratic government?

Philippines is democratic. How's that working out?

Graft and corruption are much worse next door in the world's largest democracy--India.

Gorbachev is recogonized as a LOSER in China and Chinese people are not stupid. If any economy is going to fail, look around you.

Why fix it when it's doing great?

If you want to fix things, via evolution or revolution, look around you.

We don't care what the Chinese think. They are second rate compared to our old nemesis the Russians. What ever happened to them?

In a related story....My dog has her own bedroom. She lives better than approximately 97.43% of all Chinamen.

Since you live in one of those PIGS countries, I'd recommend REVOLUTION for you. You've done it before, you can do it again. Let blood flow.

One party rule is what lead South Korea and Taiwan to Prosperity. It's also why Singapore is one of the ten richest countries per capita in the world. And the same in many Middle Eastern countries--Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, etc.

China's on the same track to prosperity.

Nice. Very nice. Awesome country to live in. The people are free to impeach their elected officials who are incompetent and corrupt.The cyber law that was introduced in Congress is DOA, meaning anyone can still say anything about a public official without fear of being arrested or jailed.The people can still tweet or re-tweet anything of importance without fear.They booted out the Chief Justice of the Supreme court and other midnight appointees and still prosecuting the past corrupt former President.
The rebels down South Philippines exercised their democratic rights by signing a peace agreement with the government in Malacanang Palace witnessed by representatives of different countries. The Moros are now free to find their own destiny in their part of the world.The agreement is subject to the drafting of laws for the Sultanate State of Sulu and Bangsamoro and its implementation.
The Filipinos are also in the process of setting up a new system of government to become the Federal Republic of the Philippines consisting of 11 States with Metro Manila as the seat of the Federal Government. Tagbilaran City will be the site of Congress.
The Philippines is aiming to become the next tiger economy of Asia with her new status as a lender to the IMF. Debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio declined to approximately 48% and foreign currency reserves shoot up to approx. 80 billion dollars. The economy grew by approx. 6% in the first half of the year.
All of the above are product of democratic exercise where the people could change anything, freely, with the consent of the governed.
China? I never heard about the existence of freedom in China.

All Chinese food and food products either for human consumption or for animals are suspect. I don't think I could trust foods made in
China.

One way to determine if a food product or any product is made in China is by looking at UPC Barcodes. Any product that starts with numbers: 690, 691 or 692 are made in China. Be very suspicious of these codes.

Recommend a revolution to overthrow a democratic government? Are you kidding me? I prefer freedom than a commie concentration camp.

I've lost track of how many "People's Power" revolutions you've had down there. Pray tell?

And your democratic Philippines is a lot more Corrupt than China.

The unsuspecting Filipinos buy their food in Chinese restaurants where the chinks put cancer causing ingredients like msg's, melamine and mercury. The Filipinos were taken advantage by these Chinese in their own land.

The Pinay that you encountered in Subic and Clark are low flying doves just like the doves in Brooklyn slums, Hainan's Sanya and Shenzen Nanshan district called "the farm".

The Pinays are the best though, they can speak straight English. They can even utter the word, Pleas....e ,sir?

Ah, you're talking about the commie on the block. They're being hunted down by the CAFGU like chicken. But once their heads pops out of their burrows, guess what happens to their heads.
