Her connections and feel for the permissible limits of sensitive issues have been credited with helping Caijing score repeated "edge balls," the Chinese term for a Ping-Pong serve that's within the lines but just barely. "We always try to find a way to [publish] something," Hu told TIME in a 2008 interview. (See pictures of the toil behind China's economic progress...
