China's Top Leaders Vow to Tackle Poverty - Yahoo! News

"China's communist leadership has made tackling poverty in the countryside a key priority, as it acknowledges that three decades of economic and social reforms have left great swaths of the population behind."

China's leaders are acting more and more like western politicians in a liberal democratic party, recognizing the importance of wooing people through the media since they are not able to control all of the news in the age of modern telecommunications.

While they continue to push for privatization and regulation in order to stimulate economic growth, they also recognize the importance of deifining the government role in providing public services in order to win citizens' allegiance.
