...balance of power. A little over a week ago, Jiang called for the strengthening of the role of Communist party cells in privately owned businesses - the latest in a series of statements and decisions over the past year that signal a growing caution over making a great leap forward on the path to capitalism. Last August, Jiang called for a revitalization - rather than privatization - of state-owned enterprises, stressing they'd play an integral role in China's future.
