...streets, one thing I heard again and again is that people want to see somebody punished for corruption and tax evasion. What is your response to that? Will people see punishment? I get that all the time. This is the sense that I was telling you, that people feel that you do not have the rule of law, but the law of the powerful. So that's what we have to change around, so it's not as if simply because you've got money or simply because you have some high position somewhere you can do anything you want...

You could spot this in the candid remarks made by Vice President Xi Jinping - front runner to become President in 2012 - during a trip to Mexico last year. "It seems there are some foreigners who've stuffed their bellies and don't have anything else to do but point fingers," he said. "First, China does not export revolution. Second, we're not exporting hunger or poverty...
