After months of heated speculation, China's new leaders were unveiled to the world on Nov 15, 2012 in Beijing's Great Hall of the People. But despite all the anticipation, what path they will take -- with China struggling to create a more sustainable growth model and less brittle political system -- remains uncertain. As expected, 59-year-old Xi Jinping got the top job as party secretary, and is first among equals, in China's now seven-member Politburo Standing Committee. The new No. 2, English-speaking Li Keqiang, 57, with a law degree and a doctorate in economics from China's elite Peking University, is a likely proponent of more reform. To build a more sustainable, consumption-driven economy, the new leaders must make progress on liberalizing China's strict control of interest rates to create a more market-based lending system. They must also push policies that create a more level playing field for private enterprises, including lessening the role of China's powerful state-run entities.
