With all the communists here, I figure I'll get a response pretty quickly.
Who is the political leader of China. Is it Hu Jintao?

What does China have to do with communism (at least what the members of this forum call communism) :p ?
But this may help:

chief of state: President HU Jintao (since 15 March 2003) and Vice President ZENG Qinghong (since 15 March 2003)
head of government: Premier WEN Jiabao (since 16 March 2003); Vice Premiers HUANG Ju (since 17 March 2003), WU Yi (17 March 2003), ZENG Peiyan (since 17 March 2003), and HUI Liangyu (since 17 March 2003)

Zhou En-Lai still about? His quote about the significance of the French Revolution ("It's too early to tell") rocks.

The President of PRC is not necessarily THE political leader of China (examples: Mao, Deng).
The difference? In the UK, Queen Elizabeth II is a head of state, and Prime Minister Blair heads the government.

So then the chief of state is just a figurehead? That isn't the case in China, though, right? So what is the difference in the powers of Hu and the Powers of Wen?

In this case France would serve better as an example. There President Chirac is the head of state and the 'paramount leader', and prime Minister de Villepin copes with the day-to-day responsibilities.

Explain as I have never understood France and it's political system despite visiting numerous times.

OK. No only France, but also my homeland, Russia, have the semi-presidential system of government.
A president and a prime minister both participate actively in the functioning of the government, no one of them is a figurehead. In France, the president is traditionally responsible for foreign policy, he is the supreme military authority.
A French prime minister is responsible before the parliament, and is mostly preoccupied with domestic policy.
And, of course, a prime minister in the semi-presidential system is a perfect scapegoat... ;)

And how are they elected? Chirac directly and Prime Minister via parliamentrary majority or by presidential appointment?

chirac buys his way in then appoints prime ministers on his own say so when something goes against him

The president of France appoints the prime minister, but his choice has to be approved by the lower house of parliament.

Ever been in a Wal Mart?
Not only are 70%+ of the goods there made in China, but the workers have been indoctrinated. :p
...
I can't remember if Jiang Zhemin is still in his special position within the defence ministry. They made him something along the lines of commander-in-chief a while back, after Hu took over the Presidency.
...
No, Hu Jintao succeeded Jiang Zemin as the supreme military commander in autumn of 2004.
