Is Hu really deserving of the title of World’s Most Powerful? How about the other Chinese big names on the list? People’s Bank of China chief Zhou Xiaochuan, often imperfectly described as the Ben Bernanke of China, is ranked 11th, just three spots below the Fed chairman, who in point of fact is considerably more powerful, if you’re just measuring based on the levers at their disposal and their independent ability to maneuver them. Unlike Bernanke, Zhou answers to higher authorities, including Hu and Premier Wen Jiabao, who didn’t make the list.
