China is moving toward another leadership transition, relatively calm by the standards of other powers, where elections sometimes take on the characteristics of political warfare. China’s political rivalries do not play out in televised national debates; rather, they play out in the shadows, leaving the public to guess what the country’s leadership has in store.
而中国的问题则更严重。中国正在经历另一场领导层转换，这相对于其他大国的标准来说较为平静，因为后者的选举有时会显现出政治战争的特征。中国的政治斗争不是以全国电视辩论的形式呈现，一切都是暗中操作，留待公众猜测究竟谁会是接班人。
