Of course, everyone knows the answer to that one. What’s less clear is whether the populist image Hu and party spinmeisters have been cultivating for him is to be believed. Soon even that may not matter: the risks associated with cracking down on corruption–sacking VIPs and party colleagues–are rapidly being eclipsed by the risks of not cracking down.
