Article Abstract:

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) general secretary Hu Jintao's hold of his 'fourth generation' and the development of a corruption investigation in Shanghai have demonstrated its dominance over the CCP. President Hu's party has to share power with other parties and hence this intra-party competition will baffle his reforms, affect China's policies and relationships with other countries and encourage the nationalism and projections of China's power.
