Xi–Li Administration

The Xi-Li Administration (simplified Chinese: 习李体制; traditional Chinese: 習李體制; pinyin: Xi-Li Tizhi) is the name given to the Chinese leadership that will succeed Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao, whose official start date will be 2012. Using the two leaders' surnames, it is abbreviated as Xi-Li (simplified Chinese: 习李; traditional Chinese: 習李)

The fifth generation of the CPC leadership has not produced yet, but most people expect the current Politburo Standing Committee, Xi Jinping will replace Hu Jintao as CPC General Secretary and Li Keqiang will replace Wen Jiabao as Premier of State Council, becoming the fifth generation leader of collective leadership, so known as the "Xi-Li Administration".

Xi Jinping at the fifth Central Committee Election of 17th National Congress of CPC was elected to the Vice Chairman of CPC Central Military Commission, followed the way of the current Paramount Leader Hu Jintao's succession. Li Keqiang now takes up the deputy party secretary of the State Council and the deputy head of the Financial Work Leading Group, also responsible for a number of important government work. The visiting specifications of the two leaders have reached the level of the Head of State and the Head of Government, so most of the media consider that the two men will take over with no suspense.

However, the 18th National Congress of the CPC will convene of the second half of 2012. For the duration, "Xi-Li Administration" may still be variable.
