We compare the entity count ratio of Hu Jintao in relation to everyone else in the 17th Party Congress Politburo Standing Committee against the entity count ratio of Xi Jinping to everyone else in the 18th Party Congress Poliburo Standing committee. We compare the average entity count share among other members of the politburo standing committee since the committee headed by Hu contained nine members while the current politburo standing committee contains seven members.
