BEIJING (Reuters) - China's new leaders must stabilise the economy this year to keep employment high while avoiding a surge in housing prices and inflation that could undermine reforms needed to overhaul the country's export-oriented growth model. Without stability, incoming President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang, who are set to be confirmed in March, have no chance of delivering a slew of reforms they say are needed now to tackle a host of financial, industrial and income imbalances that threaten China's future. Failure to close one of the world's widest rich-poor gaps or deflate a dangerous property bubble could create a backlash that could even break the Communist Party's grip on power.
