| Power Points | Secure in his job as NPC chief, where he is pursuing a brisk legislative pace, Li owes his longevity at the top to strong support from elder and more conservative cadres, as well as the backing of the State Council, which he headed for two terms. Even a potentially damaging corruption scandal involving a key crony has been quietly brushed under the carpet. Much like the controversy surrounding his central role in the bloody Tiananmen crackdown, it seems Li isn't going away in a hurry.
