In these circumstances, the role of the country’s political leadership will become much more important. Although the current president, Hu Jintao, is due to step down in 2012, he will continue to hold a degree of power through the military, so the succession of power to the next generation will not be completed until around 2015.
在这种情况下，该国领导层所扮演的角色将变得更加重要。虽然现任中国国家主席胡锦涛必将在2012年卸任，但他依然在一定程度上掌握着军权，因此权力向下一代领导人的交接要到2015年才能彻底完成。
