My Take

What strikes me about Xia Baolong is the patience of his climb. Starting in the Communist Youth League and grinding his way from Tianjin vice mayor to governor and Party Secretary of Zhejiang is the kind of slow institutional ascent that says far more about him than any single headline. Peking University polish paired with relentless ground-level maneuvering is a potent combination in Chinese politics. He keeps a low public profile, which I find telling: this is a man who lets the work, and the appointments, speak. As a behind-the-scenes power broker, I think he warrants close attention.
