("Mr Xi's recent record has delighted and emboldened many former Bo [Xilai] supporters * * * 'Chairman Mao is a rich source for us,' said Hu Angang, an economist and leading member of the 'New Left' intellectual movement that backed Mr Bo. 'I'm not surprised by what Xi is doing.'  Zhang Hongliang, another New Left economist, said in a blog post last month that the New Left should support Mr Xi because his recent speeches showed he had fully absorbed their political agenda")

My comment: This theme appears in many American newspapers, but who knows where the truth lies. It is possible Xi just pays lip service. I am not interested.
