CLAREMONT, CALIFORNIA – One question that should have been asked about the Chinese Communist Party’s just-completed leadership transition is whether the entire elaborately choreographed exercise was akin to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

加利福尼亚州克莱蒙特——针对中国共产党刚刚完成的领导层过渡，该问的问题是整个精心设计的动作是否类似于泰坦尼克号躺椅的重新分配。在中共统治结束可以预见并且极有可能的情况下，新领导班子的上任也许没有什么意义。
