Trained as a hydrolic engineer, Hu Jintao joined the Communist Party in
1964 and spent the next 38 years working his way up the hierarchy.
While serving as Party Secretary of Tibet, he did not hesitate to
administer martial law and to oversee the killing of unarmed
demonstrators. Now that he is General Secretary of the Communist Party
of China, Hu, although not all-powerful, is the leader of an unusually
repressive regime.
The communist party still controls all media, and
uses 40,000 internet security agents to monitor online use. More than
200,000 Chinese are serving re-education sentences in labour camps and
China performs more than 4,000 executions every year, more than all of
the other nations of the world combined, and many of them are for
non-violent crimes.
