the 17th Congress of the CCP:princelings mean legitimacy?


Posts:


As outcome of the 17th Party Congress,Xi Jinping, a princeling, whose father is elder Xi Zhongxun, was set as heir presumptive to Hu Jintao. In the new 25-member Politburo, Xi and his fellow princelings, which come from families of former high-ranking officials, occupy about ten seats. Today,the booming princelings are children of Mao Zedong's red veterans. The princes of Mao Zedong's Red Army men, however, are the most acceptable in China today.At least,the democrats should know,they are well fed,not hungry! Bo Xilai, the trade minister and son of Bo Yibo, one of the eight "immortals" who ran China with Deng Xiaoping. Liu Yandong's father, Liu Ruilong, former vice minister of agriculture. Li Yuanchao's father, Li Gancheng, was vice mayor of Shanghai. Wang Qishan, a "princeling" son-in-law of late vice premier Yao Yilin. Zhou Yongkang's father,Zhou Yiping, former Vice Commissar of the Commission of Science, Technology, & Industry for National Defense. Yu Zhengsheng,the son of former Tianjin mayor and minister of the First Machine-Building Ministry Huang Jing (whose original name was Yu Qiwei). 十七大 太子党是合法性的来源? 对民众来说,或许,这是现在情形下最好的。
