CHINESE PARTY CONGRESS
CONFIDENTIAL
1. Good Congress for reformers with clean sweep of older, Long
March generation.
2. Congress marked climax of Deng's career. Now stepping down
from all posts (except Chairman of Military Commission) but will
remain influential.
3.
Zhao confirmed as Party General Secretary. Li Peng, more
cautious reformer and technocrat, may soon be announced to succeed
him as Premier.
New leaders must now make more progress on economic reform,
especially price reform and labour market reform.
