Maybe i shouldn't have made that offhand comment about his predecessor because now i risk exposing a gap in my knowledge, haha...
What i meant was, as far as i know, and i admit my knowledge on this subject is not the best, but i've heard that the turn toward addressing the most glaring problems such as corruption and inequality that were caused by the economic reforms in fact began already in the later part of Hu Jintao's term.
I just wanted to make it clear that it is not solely a Xi Jinping achievement, it was clearly something that the CPC as a whole understood needed to happen.
I'm 99 percent sure you didn't mean it in the sense that Xi Jinping is solely responsible for China's success, and yes, I can see that Jintao seemed to crack down on excessive capitalist elements.
