(In joining the party and swearing the party oath: "'It's quite an emotional experience,' according to one female party member, who did not want to be named. 'In China you don't even swear an oath at your wedding, so joining the Party was my only time'")

Note: The commentary says, "Xi Jinping, a princeling with extensive family ties, pipped Hu Jintao's protege Li Keqiang for the top job."
