“These cards were developed to educate the international community about the political personalities that make up the government of China. Each photo identifies who’s who from a variety of important Chinese government ministries, provincial party secretaries, and government owned media. All are the most politically influential. Unfortunately were were not able to include every important political figure from China.” -Kenins.com
A reference list of who’s who in government of the People’s Republic of China (Wikipedia link). The role of each politician you can identify in the National People’s Congress (Wikipedia link). Leaders are all senior politicians forecast to be governing for a long time to come. The focus is on leaders with secured positions, but it is possible that one or more are reassigned in the coming years. In this case our deck of cards becomes a marker in time, a historical document of political change in China…and for the collector, more valuable than had no change occurred.
We believe our playing cards can stimulate political discourse, and hope that if critical it will be productive.
A fun way to learn about China in school.
