BEIJING -- Chinese President Xi Jinping has entered his second term as party leader with power and clout rivaling that of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, leaving the world wondering just what he plans to do with it.
Beijing was filled with unabashed praise for Xi during the twice-a-decade Communist Party congress this month, including paeans to his "outstanding ingenuity and far-sighted stratagems" and "boundless love."
