Quote:
"Beijing is in the throes of its own 2012 leadership change, with top
politicians jockeying for power. There's no election, but public opinion
matters. Being seen as close to the U.S. at a time when Washington threatens
to whack Beijing is as much a burden for a Chinese politician as being a
pal of China would be for an American candidate campaigning in Cleveland.
"Cheng Li, a Brookings Institution China scholar, says the threats from
Washington have already hurt a US favorite, Vice Premier Wang Qishan, who is
viewed as having an outside shot at becoming Chinese premier, the No. 2
position in China. Mr. Wang has argued that China needs to rely more on
domestic consumption rather than exports—precisely the U.S. position.
"A backlash against U.S. threats could help Bo Xilai, the nationalist party
secretary of Chonqqing, a city that recently shut down 13 Wal-Marts for
allegedly selling mislabeled pork. Shutting down a supermarket for such a
common infraction is unusual.
"He's aiming for a slot on the standing committee of the Politburo. 'You're
hurting economic policy makers that have strong ties to the U.S,' Mr. Li
said. 'It puts them in an awkward position.'
My comment: I do not know if the analysis is correct, but it is what he says
. There is no need to read the rest. |
