But Ding completely lacks the experience outside of Shanghai and the party central. His career path in the party has been very staright and focused. Basically since 2006, he worked his way up from Shanghai as the chief of staff of the local CPC branch into the party central and became of chief of staff of the 19th PB.
Unlike all the other 20th PB members, Ding has not had any position in the State Council and regional leader offices. In the traditional Chinese political wisedom, people like him would be considered 不懂实务. It's going to be really unprecedented if he becomes the next boss.

Hu jingtao has been known to have health issues even before he took the throne. There was a rumor that Deng Xiaoping once said "没想到江泽民这么滑头，没想到胡锦涛身体这么差".
Judging from the videos he likely had Parkinson's from the way he moves and walks. It can be associated at times with rapidly progressing dementia. Just my guess.
I'm not too familiar with the Chinese politics but has the CYL been that problematic?
I hope this isn't a situation of absolute power corrupting although judging by the results (China's GDP increase, higher tech focus, decrease corruption, improved livelihoods) Xi has done the best job as a leader compared to the entire world in the last 10 years. And that's using western data. The more western media hates on him the more I feel he is doing a good job.
Twitter China watchers noticed the Politburo has 24 members this time instead of 25 (they are good at counting heads I'll give them that). So was Hu Chunhua excluded at the last minute?
Anti-China Western clowns on Twitter are sad at this new line up. They are especially sad that Hu Chunhua isn’t on the politburo and many Xi loyalists are in. This means China chose some good patriots.
Do those Sinophobic Western clowns see Hu Chunhua as some sort of a Chinese Gorbachev?

MSM is pushing the idea that Hu Chunhua, Li Keqiang, and Wang Yang are market friendly and reformers. Doubt that they truly believe that but were hoping to cause a division within China. And they do believe Hu, Li and Wang would be willing to move China back to less confrontational and more accommodated foreign policies.
