The Rise of Liu He: China's New Economic Czar
APS INSIGHTS Tan Kong Yam 27 March 2018 The Rise of Liu He: China’s New Economic Czar (1) Liu He and Xi Jinping: Colleagues who have been friends for decades When President Xi Jinping rose to the pinnacle of power in Beijing in 2012, his political position in the Communist Party of China was tenuous at best. More significantly, few in his trusted inner circle had the requisite extensive experience at the highest levels in economic policy and finance. For the newly minted President Xi, Liu He was the right man at the right time. Beijing’s economics and finance bureaucracy in 2012 was still packed with supporters of former President Jiang Zemin, who still wielded substantial power nationwide via a vast personal network. Governor of the powerful People’s Bank of China (PBOC) Zhou Xiaochuan was a key Jiang protégé. His father Zhou Jiannan was in charge of the First Ministry of Machine Building when Jiang was a director there in the 1980s. Jiang rose under the elder Zhou’s patronage, eventually replacing former Premier Zhao Ziyang as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China in the wake of the 1989 Tiananmen incident. Zhao was purged by then paramount leader Deng Xiaoping for taking an overly conciliatory stance with the student protestors, and Zhou Xiaochuan went into exile on account of him being Zhao’s protégé. However, his father’s links with Jiang led to the younger Zhou being able to return after just a year, and he was promoted steadily under Jiang’s patronage. Zhou was eventually appointed PBOC governor in December 2002, just months before Jiang was succeeded by Hu Jintao as President. -

Xi Jinping's Inner Circle (Part 2: Friends from Xi's Formative Years)
Xi Jinping’s Inner Circle (Part 2: Friends from Xi’s Formative Years) Cheng Li The dominance of Jiang Zemin’s political allies in the current Politburo Standing Committee has enabled Xi Jinping, who is a protégé of Jiang, to pursue an ambitious reform agenda during his first term. The effectiveness of Xi’s policies and the political legacy of his leadership, however, will depend significantly on the political positioning of Xi’s own protégés, both now and during his second term. The second article in this series examines Xi’s longtime friends—the political confidants Xi met during his formative years, and to whom he has remained close over the past several decades. For Xi, these friends are more trustworthy than political allies whose bonds with Xi were built primarily on shared factional association. Some of these confidants will likely play crucial roles in helping Xi handle the daunting challenges of the future (and may already be helping him now). An analysis of Xi’s most trusted associates will not only identify some of the rising stars in the next round of leadership turnover in China, but will also help characterize the political orientation and worldview of the influential figures in Xi’s most trusted inner circle. “Who are our enemies? Who are our friends?” In the early years of the Chinese Communist movement, Mao Zedong considered this “a question of first importance for the revolution.” 1 This question may be even more consequential today, for Xi Jinping, China’s new top leader, than at any other time in the past three decades. -
The Importance of Thorium to China
Fuel for Thought: The Importance of Thorium to China by Cindy Hurst February 2015 Institute for the Analysis of Global Security (IAGS) The Institute for the Analysis of Global Security is a Washington based non-profit think tank dedicated to research and public debate on issues related to energy security. IAGS seeks to promote public awareness to the strong impact energy has on the world economy and security and to the myriad of technological and policy solutions that could help nations strengthen their energy security. WWW.IAGS.ORG Cindy Hurst is a government contractor working as an analyst for the U.S. Army's Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. The views expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Introduction Over the past few years China has launched efforts to develop the world’s first commercial thorium-fueled reactor based on the use of liquid salt. At one point thorium was widely used in gas mantles. It has also been used in night flares from the Milan weapon system and in magnesium alloy aircraft components, optical lenses, refractory ceramics, and some laboratory compounds. As a magnesium alloy, a small quantity of thorium can be used for its hardening and lightweight properties, making it ideal for the aerospace industry.1 One problem with thorium is its mildly radioactive nature, producing concerns over its safety and potential harmful effects. Therefore, today there is little use for thorium. -

The Rise of the Bureaucratic Bourgeoisie and Factional Politics of China
Journal of Contemporary Asia Vol. 42, No. 3, August 2012, pp. 514–521 COMMENTARY The Rise of the Bureaucratic Bourgeoisie and Factional Politics of China WING-CHUNG HO Department of Applied Social Studies, City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong On 1 October 2009, China’s top political leaders presided over the lavish ceremony celebrating the 60th anniversary of communist rule. On that day, on top of Tiananmen Square, television viewers saw on the screen an unprecedented scene. Standing beside President Hu Jintao (b. 1942) was his predecessor Jiang Zemin (b. 1926). In front of the camera, Jiang, then the 83-year-old party veteran who stepped down from the posts of president in 2003 and Central Military Commission chairman in 2004 still looked healthy and strong. The surprising appearance of Jiang struck many China watchers as significant as it was the first time that the autocratic state, which resolutely upholds single-party rule, apparently had two leaders of comparable power. Equally surprising, albeit with relatively less media exposure, in October 2007 the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Congress abandoned usual practice and announced not one but two heirs apparent: Xi Jinping (b. 1953) and Li Keqiang (b. 1955). The succession plan is that Xi will take up Hu’s presidency, and Li will succeed Wen Jiabao (b. 1942) as premier of the State Council in 2012. Like the Jiang-Hu Tiananmen appearance, the Xi-Li pairing also consists of two persons who share little in terms of family background and factional affiliation. Xi Jinping has a ‘‘princeling’’ (taizi) background with his father Xi Zhongxun (1913-2002) being a former vice-premier, whereas Li Keqiang gained his political power mainly through being secretary of the Communist Youth League (CYL) in the early 1980s. -
'Princelings' in China Use Family Ties to Gain Riches
May 17, 2012 ‘Princelings’ in China Use Family Ties to Gain Riches By DAVID BARBOZA and SHARON LaFRANIERE SHANGHAI — The Hollywood studio DreamWorks Animation recently announced a bold move to crack China’s tightly protected film industry: a $330 million deal to create a Shanghai animation studio that might one day rival the California shops that turn out hits like “Kung Fu Panda” and “The Incredibles.” What DreamWorks did not showcase, however, was one of its newest — and most important — Chinese partners: Jiang Mianheng, the 61-year-old son of Jiang Zemin, the former Communist Party leader and the most powerful political kingmaker of China’s last two decades. The younger Mr. Jiang’s coups have included ventures with Microsoft and Nokia and oversight of a clutch of state-backed investment vehicles that have major interests in telecommunications, semiconductors and construction projects. That a dealmaker like Mr. Jiang would be included in an undertaking like that of DreamWorks is almost a given in today’s China. Analysts say this is how the Communist Party shares the spoils, allowing the relatives of senior leaders to cash in on one of the biggest economic booms in history. As the scandal over Bo Xilai continues to reverberate, the authorities here are eager to paint Mr. Bo, a fallen leader who was one of 25 members of China’s ruling Politburo, as a rogue operator who abused his power, even as his family members accumulated a substantial fortune. But evidence is mounting that the relatives of other current and former senior officials have also amassed vast wealth, often playing central roles in businesses closely entwined with the state, including those involved in finance, energy, domestic security, telecommunications and entertainment.
