Sydney, Oct. 6 (ANI): China's future leader Xi Jinping is "the man for the times" who will transform the Chinese economy and reach a new security accommodation with President, Barack Obama, former Australian prime minister, Kevin Rudd has said.
Rudd believes that Vice-President Xi has the "vast experience" and "inquiring mind" to tackle the economic and global security challenges that will shape the world order for decades to come, after he takes charge of the Communist Party on about November 15.
"My own instinct is that the new leadership will use its first term to both entrench and deepen China's domestic economic reform agenda," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Rudd, as saying.
"This is a gargantuan task in itself. And any formal steps towards more political reform are more likely to be deferred to Xi Jinping's second term," he added.
According to the paper, his views about the incoming Xi administration come in contrast with the growing domestic and international pessimism about the capacity of Chinese leaders to confront vested interests and resume market-based reforms.
His glowing preview of the future Xi administration extended to its capacity to manage bilateral tension, prevent war and even carve out a new rules-based order with the US, the paper said. (ANI)
