Xi Jinping is taking over the top job in China at a time when China is at its strongest in the last two centuries or so. Is he going to be more assertive? A: I don’t think that will make him feel elated and therefore cause him to throw his weight around. He’s a thoughtful man and he knows it’s not in China’s interest. So my impression of him is, he will continue Deng Xiaoping’s policy of keeping your light under your bushel, or tao guang yang hui.
