From Karen Moley today:
You had to listen closely, but Chinese President Xi Jinping provided two important clues as to the economic policies he will pursue in his second five-year term in the course of his epic three-and-a-half hour opening address to the Communist Party congress.
The first clue was provided by what he didn’t say. Xi made no mention of the ambitious target to double China’s gross domestic product between 2010 and 2020 which was set by outgoing President Hu Jintao at the previous Congress five years ago.
