Snippet:
The Hubei Daily on Aug. 17 spoke to "a small group of people," telling them, "The idea of trying to develop behind closed doors is destined to lead nowhere." The hubbub in political circles is that "small group" refers to figures backing Xi Jinping's current policies. (Nikkei montage/Source photos by Yuki Kohara and Reuters)
