When President Hu Jintao assumed the chairmanship of China's central
military commission in September, he quickly demonstrated the
incisive
managerial style that has distinguished him from his predecessor,
Jiang
Zemin.
But as is often the case in the People's Republic, impressive
external
appearances may have served to conceal internal weakness.
After only five days at the helm, Mr Hu set out a tough policy for
dealing with Taiwan's "splittists". The People's Liberation Army
(PLA),
he said, must "strive for negotiation, prepare for war, and have no
fear of Taiwan's procrastination".
