Sixth Generation
Provided China's power transitions and government institutions remain stable in the next decade, the sixth generation of leaders will come to power at the 20th Party Congress in 2022. Under current unspoken Chinese political conventions the leaders of this generation would be mostly born in the 1960s, and speculated future leaders were born from 1960 to 1967. China specialists believe this is the generation where significant political reform will take place after economic growth has been stabilized. Current speculation places former Communist Youth League head and current Inner Mongolia party chief Hu Chunhua as a possible core figure. Jilin party chief Sun Zhengcai has also been named. U.S.-based news portal Duowei also listed Fujian Governor Su Shulin, Hunan party chief Zhou Qiang, ACAC consortium CEO Zhang Qingwei, and CYL head Lu Hao as other potential figures in this generation of leadership.

Famous quotes containing the words sixth and/or generation:
“The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Once I prophesied that this generation of Americans had a rendezvous with destiny. That prophecy now comes true. To us much is given; more is expected. This generation will nobly save or mainly lose the last best hope of earth. The way is plain, peaceful, generous just. A way, which if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
