...Taken together with the recent expansion of social welfare and amendments to the rural land law that will enable peasants to effectively lease out the right to use their land, the changes amount to a "New Deal with Chinese characteristics," JPMorgan economist Jing Ulrich wrote in a recent report. They also represent a political triumph for President Hu Jintao and his Premier, Wen Jiabao.

Until now, their efforts to enact concrete measures to back those promises have...
