In what I think is one of the best pieces he has ever written for the Wall Stret Journal, Boalt Law professor Stanley Lubman obliquely raises a compelling specter: if the Party and the government do not compel local governments to start protecting consumer interests as a first priority, they are allowing a vacuum into which non-governmental forces could step.
This prospect scares the daylights out of the Party, because they believe that the emergence of popular non-governmental associations could form the nexus of a viable political opposition. One need look no further than Poland's Solidarity movement to understand their fear.
The same could be said for Hu in Washington. Make no mistake, any position he takes, any messages he delivers, any concessions he grants have been discussed and vetted before he got on the plane. This is a stark contrast with U.S. foreign policy, where the President makes the deal, then comes back to Congress for approval.
