More on Hu from the Post

Sounds like a great guy who's going to be fun dealing with. One has to love his references to the Cultural Revolution, a program that worked oh so well for Mao, not to mention the millions who starved to death because of officials cooking the books with food supplies. Also right up there is his aggressive campaign to arrest and stamp out dissent and limit debate within the press and on university campuses. Much like our own dear president, Hu never spent much time outside of his home country and we all know how much that broadens ones mind and makes one open to any foreign ideas. This might explain his love of radical nationalism that strikes a cord with the Chinese population, much like we have witnessed in recent years in the good old US of A.

Anyone who thinks that Hu wants to continue opening up China ought to read more because this guy is bonkers. Threats to Taiwan and Japan are just the beginning. The business class in China has to be worried and if foreigners are dreaming of massive profits in China, they better think twice because there's a new sheriff in town and it's his way or the highway. This is going to get interesting in the next few years.
