QUALCOMM's biggest customer here: nytimes.com <Oct. 28 EIt might seem like the most commonplace of diplomatic missions: the vice president of China touring Moscow, London, Paris, Berlin and Madrid for handshakes with presidents, prime ministers and business titans. But the vice president is Hu Jintao, and to the cognoscenti of Chinese politics his journey is filled with meaning. As he makes the trip, which began in Russia this weekend and continues in Britain on Monday, his every word will be scrutinized, and not only in Washington and other foreign capitals, but also at home. That is because Mr. Hu, 58, now appears virtually certain to take over as China's supreme leader in the next 18 months and, if he keeps his cards in order, he may well lead the world's most populous country for 10 years. He is expected to succeed Jiang Zemin, who is now 75 and slated for retirement as head of the Communist Party in the fall of 2002 and then as president that winter. ... Mr. Hu has been part of the ruling inner circle and the presumed successor since 1992, when Deng Xiaoping, then the paramount leader, labeled him the most promising leader of his generation and promoted him, at the tender age, for China, of 49, onto the all-powerful seven-member Standing Committee of the party Politburo. He has been China's vice president since 1998. ... Born in December 1942, Mr. Hu was a student of hydroelectric engineering at the prestigious Qinghua University in Beijing in the 1960's. During the Cultural Revolution he was sent to the remote province of Gansu, where he worked his way up the party ladder in engineering and construction bureaus. He also became involved with the Communist Youth League, and in 1984 he moved to Beijing as its national leader, developing wide contacts that serve him now. ... More recently, Mr. Hu has had responsibility for major internal party affairs and for the Communist Party School, a core training ground and think tank. Under his guidance the school has become a more lively site of inquiry into political and economic alternatives, experts say, leading to speculation about Mr. Hu's interest in bolder change. .... Heads were turned in the spring of 1999 when he and not the president delivered a delicate television address to the angry students who threw rocks at the American Embassy here after the NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. In that appearance, the best glimpse many Chinese have had of Mr. Hu, he emphasized the need for everyone to get back to their studies and jobs, even while repeating China's anger over American policy. ... > Is it really 10 years since Jiang Zemin became chief big boss of China? Wow, time flies. The new guy looks good to me. A hydroelectric engineer no less. Jiang Zemin is an engineer too. Mqurice
