The \u201cexcerpt\u201d<\/a> [Chinese] is actually an edited version of the original. The English \u201ctranslation\u201d on China Daily<\/a>\u2019s website also omits sentences which must have been deemed sensitive or unfit for English readers. For example, the English version mentions the late South African president Nelson Mandela\u2019s \u201cspecial connections\u201d to China, but omits the quotation attributed to Mandela in the opening paragraph: \u201cHe once said, \u2018While I was imprisoned on Robben Island for over twenty years, my moral support came from China!\u2019\u201d (\u4ed6\u66fe\u79f0\uff0c\u201c\u6211\u4e8c\u5341\u591a\u5e74\u5728\u7f57\u672c\u5c9b\u72f1\u4e2d\u751f\u6d3b\u7684\u7cbe\u795e\u652f\u67f1\u6765\u81ea\u4e2d\u56fd\uff01\u201d<\/a>) In the conclusion, former president of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew is quoted as putting Xi in \u201cthe Nelson Mandela class of persons<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n From the China Daily:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n After showing his resolve with a sweeping and unprecedented anti-graft campaign, which netted Zhou Yongkang, a former member of the Political Bureau Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee, the spotlight of global attention is now on President Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n A year ago, many in China didn\u2019t believe that the CPC would investigate such a high-ranking former top official as Zhou, nor did observers in other countries imagine that Xi, who just come to power, had the capability and courage to cage such big \u201ctigers\u201d as Zhou and Xu Caihou, the former vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission.<\/p>\n The outside world has mostly been impressed by the ruthlessness of the CPC\u2019s anti-corruption campaign. Yet, many people close to the CPC ruling circle said that the fight against corruption is just part of the political objectives of the central leadership led by Xi. Behind the anti-graft campaign is a grand blueprint, which analysts have labeled \u201cThe Second Reforms\u201d. The new concept contains a lot more than the word \u201creforms\u201d can convey and has gone farther and wider than the outside world would imagine. Xi aims to break the entrenched bureaucracy and vested interests of officialdom formed during the fast economic expansion and initiate a brand-new model of governance for a modernized country. What is even more noteworthy is that Xi is quietly leading a revolution that is transforming the CPC\u2019s theory of governance and the legal framework for governance. It has yet to be seen how Xi is going to implement it, but one thing is for sure, he highly cherishes the breadth and depth of traditional Chinese culture. As for economic development, the \u201cnew economic normal\u201d idea, which runs counter to the reckless development of the past 30-plus years, has appeared and is starting to take root. What is more, reform of the People\u2019s Liberation Army has been initiated and rebuilding the soul of military has become a top priority.<\/p>\n […] Xi Jinping insists that he is a loyal descendant of revolutionary elders and it is his mission to revive China and achieve the ruling party\u2019s modernization. \u201cXi could have enjoyed a relaxed term of office, but as a descendant of revolutionary forerunners, he feels obligated to choose a harder road.\u201d said another offspring of revolutionary elders. Hu Jintao turned over both the power of Party and military to Xi at the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012. Despite being in office for less than two years, Xi\u2019s confidence has made him a mature leader who is not afraid of hardship. The image Xi presents to the public is unimaginable for others, even for friends and colleagues who used to be familiar with him. His every word is no longer an empty slogan, but from his deep thinking.
