Yesterday at the Great Hall of the People, Xi Jinping had his first opportunity to give the world indication of what sort of leader he plans to be, and during his speech Xi not only left out any mention of Hu but also what Hu wants to be his political legacy, a 'scientific concept of development'.
'Harmonious society' also failed to get a shout-out, as did Mao Zedong, but Xi was generous enough to give Hu a handshake for the cameras.
