The American magazine, Foreign Policy, published its second annual list of the Top 100 Global Thinkers on Wednesday. More Chinese candidates find their names on the list, including Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of China's central bank.
Zhou was listed 'for holding the world's economic fate in his hands.' Proposing a new international reserve currency to replace the U.S. dollar and resisting pressure on China to appreciate its Yuan, Zhou is a living embodiment of China's growing clout in the global economy.
Apart from Zhou, who moved up the list from the previous No. 9 to No. 4, Editor Hu Shuli (No. 82) with Century Weekly and the most-read blogger Han Han (No. 86) were also listed.
World-renowned investor Warren Buffet and Microsoft founder Bill Gates both topped the list for "stepping up as the world's states falter."
