Heilmann, Sebastian (2013) China's new Government: Priorities, Programs, Reform Signals. Asia Policy Brief 2013/02, May 2013. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
Never before has any change of leadership in China drawn this much international attention. The composition of the new party and state leadership in China is the result of many years of probing and negotiating within the top levels of the Communist Party. New priorities and leadership styles may cause fundamental shifts in the mechanisms of governance during the decade that China’s new leadership will be in control. Thus, the installation of a new government in China has potentially stronger long-term effects than most government turnovers in Western Democracies.
