Witch hunting is a fun pastime, isn't it?

Uhm, I wouldn't call outing the de facto ruler of China witch hunting.

[logfromblammo]

He's the de jure head of state. The de facto rulers of China are the "princeling" descendants of revolution-era party leaders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princelings).

He is certainly one of them, and perhaps the most influential, but he is certainly not powerful enough to be "the ruler".
