In this photo taken on March 14, 2010, Ling Jihua, a loyal aide and confidante to President Hu Jintao, left, looks as Chinese President Hu Jintao, bottom right, signs a document after attending a closing ceremony of the National People's Congress at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Chinaâs hopes for a smooth, once-a-decade political transition have been shaken by a lurid new scandal involving the death of a senior officialâs son who crashed during what may have been sex games in a speeding Ferrari. Details of the March accident in Beijing, which allegedly also left two young women injured, have stayed under wraps in China but are leaking out via media in Hong Kong. The media blackout underscores official fears that the public will be outraged by another instance of excess and recklessness among Chinaâs power elites. (AP Photo/Andy Wong)
