Hamilton Professor of Government Cheng Li is one of this nation’s foremost experts on China, especially Chinese leadership. The author of China’s Leaders: The New Generation, Li is frequently called on by U.S. government officials and media representatives to offer an informed perspective on who will succeed Jiang Zemin later this year at the 16th Communist Party Congress. When he gets to China, President Bush is expected to meet with Hu Jintao, the person Professor Li says is the frontrunner to succeed Jiang.

Cheng Li, Hamilton College professor of government, was quoted in a TIME Asia article that discusses President Bush's visit to China. The piece suggests that the current period of unity is important both to Bush, who continues to build a coalition against international terrorism, and to President Jiang Zemin, who is struggling to secure his legacy prior to his year-end retirement. Li commented, "If Jiang can show that relations with the US are in good shape, it will enable him to appoint more of his own men to the top positions."
