What Will Be Hu's Pet Project?


According to John Gittings, "a well-placed journalist in Beijing" told him this in 1993:

"Deng Xiaoping (邓小平) has the Special Economic Zones. Party Secretary Jiang Zemin (江泽民) has Shanghai. Premier Li Peng (李鹏) has the Three Gorges. We all know how the system works."

So what will be Hu Jintao's (胡锦涛) pet project? Building a harmonious society? But that is not exactly a project involving any real infrastructure. So is Hu going to be an aberration? Or is he merely bidding his time? But that is assuming that he will be re-elected at the next sitting of the 17th Party Congress which must be held before the end of this year. But are there any reasons why he will/won't be elected?
