Deng Xiaoping had famously said China should "hide its capacity and bide its time". “There was no doubt that Riyadh perceived a need to maintain cordial ties with Moscow, both to coordinate oil production as well as maintain a solid dialogue with Russia over its Iran initiatives,” Joseph A Kechichian, a senior fellow at the King Faisal Centre in Riyadh, told Al Jazeera, referring to Moscow’s relationship with Saudi Arabia’s regional rival, Iran. http://irannews.ru/ - irannews.ru Now he had the ammunition to destroy his most potent political rivals.

He says the party needs a "unity ticket" in wake of the economic situation, and that there's no point spending another four to five days voting for a leader. In Xi's China there is almost no room for diversity. Xinjiang's 12 million Uyghur Muslims are being forcibly assimilated. Similar programs are under way in Tibet and Inner Mongolia. Earlier this year, a Chinese friend spent 83 days alone, locked in a Shanghai hotel room. They believe it indicates an "if we can't have it, no-one can" approach. So his ruinous legacy was covered up with reverence. And now, Xi loses no opportunity to channel Mao, even usurping his defunct titles - Great Helmsman, People's Leader, Chairman. But what he seeks is much bigger.
