The World’s Most Powerful People
1.Barack Obama
How powerful is he? Let’s count the ways: Presides over world’s largest, most innovative, most dynamic economy; commander-in-chief of planet’s richest, deadliest military; finger on button of nuclear arsenal containing more than 5,000 warheads; head-of-state of world’s sole superpower; his Democrats have majorities in both U.S. House and Senate; recently awarded Nobel Peace Prize, apparently for general awesomeness.
2.Hu Jintao
Paramount political leader of more people than anyone else on the planet; 1.3 billion Chinese, some 70% in their prime working years of ages 15 to 64 powering world’s low-cost workshop, transforming nation. Biggest buyer of U.S. debt avoided Chinese meltdown during financial crisis with massive stimulus package to encourage domestic spending. “Coming-out party” at 2008 Beijing Olympic Games showcased young, modern, harmonious society; reality often quite different—few political, religious, press freedoms; brutal suppression of Tibet; refusal to acknowledge Taiwanese independence. Still, credible estimates have China poised to overtake U.S. as world’s largest economy in 25 years—although, crucially, not on a per-capita basis.
3.Vladimir Putin
Prime Minister might as well be known as Czar, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russians. Vastly more powerful than his handpicked head-of-state, President Dmitry Medvedev. Presides over one-ninth of Earth’s land area, vast energy and mineral resources. Former KGB officer unafraid to wield his power; invading Georgia, cutting off natural gas supplies to Ukraine or Western Europe (again). Declared nuclear power has veto on U.N.’s Security Council. The anti-Obama: “I’m deeply convinced that constant change is not for the better.”

福布斯权力榜揭晓 美中俄领导人居前三
1.美国总统奥巴马
他领导的国家有世界上最大、最有创新性和活力的经济体,他是世界上唯一一个超级大国的元首,他是这个星球上最富裕、最有杀伤力的军队的总司令,他的指头控制着拥有超过5000枚核弹头的核武库,他所在的民主党控制着美国参众两院。
2.中国国家主席胡锦涛
中国是世界上人口最多的国家,而其13亿人口中有大约70%的人都处于15岁到64岁之间的黄金工作年龄阶段。中国也是美国最大的债权国,在全球金融危机中,中国政府实施大规模经济刺激计划,使中国人在危机中屹立不倒。2008年北京奥运会向世界展示了一个现代、和谐的社会。
3.俄罗斯总理普京
俄拥有世界1/9的土地面积,丰富的石油、天然气和矿产资源。这名前克格勃特工和前总统现在似乎比他的继任者、现任总统梅德韦杰夫权力更大。他也毫不惧怕运用自己的权力对世界施加影响。
