    Many of the top echelons of China's new leaders will take courses at Harvard. A bit ironic that the second program is sponsored by Amway!

Harvard’s Kennedy School has been expanding its offerings to Chinese officials and executives at state-owned enterprises since the first program -- for senior leaders at the vice- minister level -- began in 1998, sponsored by Hong Kong’s New World Development Co. About 150 officials have been through the program since its inception, with 20 each year at most, Saich said. Local Leaders In 2001, the school added a second program, for officials from local governments across China, called “China’s Leaders in Development,” taught both at Harvard and at Beijing’s Tsinghua University, sponsored by direct sales company Amway Corp. That program takes 50 to 60 officials each year, Saich said.
