FORTUNE -- Less than a month after the completion of China's leadership transition, Zhongnanhai's new occupants are facing two difficult tests: a destructive earthquake on April 20 that killed about 200 people and affected 2 million residents in Sichuan, and an unfolding bird flu epidemic spreading across the country's most prosperous eastern seaboard.
Minxin Pei is a non-resident senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States as well as the Tom and Margot Pritzker Professor of Government and director of the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at Claremont McKenna College.
