Xi may still be enjoying a honeymoon with the Chinese public, but it is likely to be a short one. His predecessors had ten years to carry out real reforms and accomplished little, leaving the Chinese in no mood to endure another decade of government by shibboleth.
习可能还正与中国的民众享受着他们之间的美好“蜜月”，但这个“蜜月”期会很短。他的前任有十年的时间来实施真正的改革但只实现了很小一部分，这使得中国人失去了再次忍受十年空喊口号的信心。
