As I said on post 13, we all know where this discussion will go....not been disappointed.
I read somewhere (but can't find the reference) that the total wealth of the NPC is in the high hundreds of billions.
The China Communist Party is no different to any Dynasty before it. Few people hold all the wealth.
Not sure what will bring China down, but this might bring the western world down : http://vimeo.com/9518258

A bit off topic but the US just reported 2% growth. That is incredibly good news for everyone. Not out of the woods yet, but enough to quiet those who predicted a collapse.
Forget Barack and Mitt, my money is going on an unexpected candidate... DG for President.
Granted Romney's approach to China is similar but I think DG has the bottle to implement this.
