The Chinese Communist Party just announced the leadership team that will set the trajectory of their country for decades, replacing President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao. The Party formally named the people who will lead the world’s most populous nation, direct the second-largest economy, and control the third largest nuclear arsenal. Our new digest addresses three topics:

1. The transition process and China’s new leaders;
2. How Chinese leadership decisions are made;
3. What the leadership transition means for China… and for the U.S.
