Grammar
"The leader of the gang " = gangleader?
That is, here it is a disparaging term.
Context:
BEIJING – China's magnificent seven, the fifth and latest generation of Communist Party leaders to helm the world's most populous nation, strode into the limelight Thursday morning to end a week of public ceremony in Beijing – and many months of backroom bargaining.
The leader of the gang is Xi Jinping, 59, who has a celebrity singer wife and a daughter studying at Harvard. He took over from Hu Jintao as general secretary of the 82-million-strong Chinese Communist Party.

It seems to be used properly here. Have the People of China , the real owner of the power of state, bestowed them the power? Oh no. So USAToday is right.
