Xi is regarded to have closer ties with Jiang's faction, gievn that he was Party Sec in SH and has a liberal persepctive towards economic reform. In any case, he is generally identified as a princeling; his father was Party elder Xi Zhongxun. Hu's Tuanpai faction was pushing Li Keqiang as their preferred choice for Hu's successor. I still dont think it's totally clear as to who will be chosen. Right now it seems that both candidates have a shot and consequently one can expext more factional infighting and policy balancing.
