Nice article.

And Hu Jintao has a funny expression on his face. I think he saw a reporter that he doesn't like.

I think he always looks like that. The man doesn't seem like a leader at all, but the next guy Xi Jinping looks confident, just like how the leader of China should look.

Personally, I really like Hu and Wen. They are among my favourites.

Xi Jinping seems good as well, but we'll have to wait and see.
