hu's troubles continued. sometimes the electricity was turned off, or broken water pipes were not repaired. the police repeatedly came by and harassed the small storeowners. more and more of them closed down their shops. >> the regrettable thing is that a single person -- this chief of police -- has so much power to do so much harm. he managed to prevent my business from developing and caused me great financial losses. it's really sad. >> the police chief has since been dismissed, but the shop owners who were driven away have not come back. suing for damages is not an option in china. the party functionaries protect each other. there's no point in charging them -- forget that. because if you want to win your case in court you have to bribe the judge." +++ >> as more and more cases emerge, china's communist party has vowed to curb corruption. but critics say the problem is that the system itself is corrupt. as long as that doesn't change, these boring official photos continue to be very revealing. >> creating

xi is expected to take over from president hu jintao in march. xinhua television reported xi squatted with villagers in their homes over the weekend and held their homes. he reportedly asked them whether they had warm blankets and enough coal for heating. the vice premiere, li keqiang, visited poor inland villages. li is the second-ranking leader in the communist party. the reports say he braved cold temperatures and snow to visit the mountainous area. >>> the chinese embassy in tokyo has dismissed a document that says some disputed islands are part of japan. japan controls the senkaku islands in the east china sea. china and taiwan claim them. japanese wire service jiji press says the chinese government issued the document in 1915. the document says the islands are part of ryukyu, an old name for that area that is now okinawa. the paper mentions the islands's former name. the chinese embassy issued a statement on its website. it rejected suggestions that the document should serve as proof of japan's claim. they have historical and law enforcemen

hu jintao is the ultimate functionary. i don't think he ever -- and secretary campbell would know better than i -- but he really didn't drift off the script at all. xi jinping is an altogether more ebullient, human representative, i think, for china. and in that respect, that's got to be a good thing. >> well, talk about him a little bit, chris, because i know you know something about him. >> sure. sure. >> i mean, what an unusual background he has. >> yeah. he definitely has an unusual background. and i think -- let me just amplify a few things that richard said. i mean, first and foremost, i think, what we're seeing is a person who's kind of composed of two primary elements. the one is this privileged background of being a so-called princeling, the child of, you know, the founders of the regime and having that privileged lifestyle for much of his early days. you know, quite heady, actually, after the revolution, growing up in zhoungyuan, henan, formerly the compound of chinese emperors. you know, this is the sort of thin

"hu jintao's approach was 'build the middle class.' i don't know if the next leader will make that his goal." and in europe, observers think the worst is over, but the first half of the year will be slow. "they're going to make progress, but not enough to change much. what they need is private equity, private investment." finally, investing in community or regional banks - an alternative that may surprise you. "you can invest in small banks and help your community. if enough people do that, the country will improve." lastly, financial analysts say the ipo calendar will be worth tracking in 2013. with roughly 150 private companies ready to make their initial public offerings, more than in each of the last two years. a possible strike that would hit ports stretching from massachusetts to texas could have a ripple effect on the national and global economy. just days after a west coast port strike was resolved, this new walkout is being threatened by nearly 15,000 longshoremen union members who are upset over wages and royalty payments. th

the president greeted marines this morning in haw hu. he plans to fly back to washington tonight in hopes of pushing the negotiations forward. any agreement worked out is unlikely to be the grand funding and debt reducing plan the president and speaker want. >> i have thought for all long for more than a month we were likely to see some last minute, slap dash, unsatisfying deal thrown together that won't do anything to solve the long term problems but will get politicians out of the bind. >> one stake point, the president's push to raise taxes on those making more than $250,000 a year. republican opposition to that plan. >>> some san francisco reward its employees for making healthy choices? that's the issue leaders debating as they look for ways to cut health care costs. a new study shows two thirds considered to be the healthiest are over weight or obese. doctors say it can lead to health problems, some say paying employees to eat better and exercise can save money in the long run. >>> holiday celebration still going for many of you bu

china's xinhua news agency says li conveyed a message from xi jinping, who succeeded hu jintao as general secretary of the communist party. li referred to the long-range missile preparations, saying china and other countries are concerned. he also stressed that china is working to promote peace and stability in the region. the north korean leader was quoted as saying he's eager to develop relations with china's new leadership. >>> police in myanmar have used force to break up a protest against a copper mine with links to china. patchari raksawong in bangkok has the story. >>> at least 70 people were injured when police broke up the demonstration. the protesters say the copper mine is damaging the environment. myanmar's decision to use force is likely to cause alarm among western nations who have praised its democratic reforms. and so why did the government press ahead with the crackdown? well, nhk world's jun kobayashi reports from yangon. >> reporter: since thursday, they've disbursed hundreds of protesters. the crowd included local residents and buddhist monks. the demonstrators demande

october and she jinping stepped in to take over from which and how and the sort of outgoing speech of hu jintao was concept of scientific development and that was real. only in a way enshrining this whole growth model that we can create social stability by making people happy by giving them more wealth by having more growth and more is better and in that whole party congress one word came out which is kind of huge in ping's new new word in that ecological civilization not what does that mean maybe it means that we can have lots of cars but if we're breathing polluted air if we don't have clean water to drink we don't have a healthy lifestyle and so we could see yet to see what will happen but it's possible there could be a rethink on this growth model and i think the question right now people talk about the politics how are the politics of china evolve or change or be destabilized or can it continue to be stable i think the stability of chinese politics depends upon the sustainability of china's economy and that will be critical for the sustainability of the planet to use the local curre

much less was done than optimists had hoped would be possible during hu jintao's second term. hopes for legal reforms seem to be rising again. not because anyone imagines that china's new leaders have in their desk drawer the program for legal reform, but they're waiting -- but they're waiting to implement patiently. probably not. optimism, because of the need for legal reform seems so clear to so many people. i think any effort to seek truth from facts would reveal that continuing broad legal reform is needed to sustain china's strengths, to sustain a choice stability. there is a rising demand for it in chinese society. that demand is not necessarily framed in terms of, we want legal reform, rule of law, but they want the things that a stronger and better legal system can provide. more orderly ways of addressing grievances, more fairness, less corruption, more transparency in government, more limitations on government, more practical ways to implement legal rights. i want to comment on three areas of law, and to point to some aspects of each. the three areas are judicial refo

i think, personally, there's a hu storm in miami in the 20s, not because of global warming, other signs you know, people ask for money, and them it brings that debate, deserve the money, this costs a lot of money, $100 billion, we have to solve the problem, and then it's a legit gat debate because of the money spent. i think we'll see something, but no consensus on the globe about it. we can't get it in our country. you never get the emerging markets in line with this. i don't know what we could do to stop it. neil: giving a lot of money in the meantime to get a control on it; right? >> absolutely. it does, i mean, it sparked the debate in a way, but look at places on the earth wth there's icecapsow, where there used to be rain forests, long before humans were on the planet. you have to wonder how much impact we have. using sandy, a lot of problems that were, you know, brought to the floor as a result of sandy. i don't know that climate change is the number one one, i mean, it could be where we are living. i mean, the type of insurance that we're buying and selling, what the government

they'll be responsible for the largest tax hike in american hus ri. >> they can support these measures or be responsible for reckless spending and the largest tax hike in american history. >> they've already put forth a plan that's balanced. >> let's extend the middle class tax cuts right now. in fact, the senate has already passed a bill doing exactly this. all we need is action from the house. and i've got the pen ready to sign the bill right away. >> if we can get a few house republicans to agree, i'll sign this bill as soon as congress sends it my way. i've got to repeat. i've got a pen. >> that's the choice now on the table. the president's plan that gives tax relief to 98% of americans of the republicans plan to help the rich while gutting the safety net. it's all a question of numbers. and here's a number for you. the number 11. that's the approval rate of boehner's congress. here's another number. 57. that's the president's approval rating. anyone want to guess who has the upper hand in this fight? >> joining me now is congressman emanuel and jane walsh and an msnbc analyst. th

right now, we're, essentially investing in solar and wind because we have hu government subsidies acrossustrialized world. melissa: right. >> but thais not sustainable. nobody can actually afford that. germany is one of the leaders basically had to cut back dramatically because they can't afford it when it started counting. melissa: they say every energy industry at beginning needs to be propped up by the govement until it is viable then it is viable. way we started everything else. why is that wrong? >> the problem we've been saying that for 30 or 40 years and it hasn't really happened. the point here gas actually, and fracked gas offers the opportunity tout carbon emissions dramatically. melissa: how is that possible? >> fundamentally gas emits 40% less than coal for the same amount of energy. and so you produce most of your energy in the u.s. with coal. now you're moving towards gas. that is a great tng for the environment. actually, you have cut twice as much as what everyone else in the world including the kyoto protocol and all the e.u. instead of what the e.u. is paying 20, $30 bi
