Chinese President Hu Jintao has been named the most powerful person in the world by 'Forbes',
ahead of US President Barack Obama who is ranked second among 68 people "who matter," a list that also includes Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Gandhi ranks 9th on the Forbes 2010 list of the 'World's Most Powerful People.' Singh comes in at number 18.
India's business tycoons Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, Tata Sons Chairman Ratan Tata and head of ArcelorMittal, Lakshmi Mittal also make the list.
Of the 6.8 billion people on the planet, Forbes' list comprises "the 68 who matter." The heads of state, major religious figures, entrepreneurs and outlaws on the second annual list were chosen "because, in various ways, they bend the world to their will."
Jintao, 67, occupies the top slot for being the "paramount political leader of more people than anyone else on the planet" and one who "exercises near dictatorial control over 1.3 billion people, one-fifth of world's population."
