China's former leader Jiang Zemin, who steered the country through a transformational era from the late 1980s and into the new millennium, died on Wednesday (Nov 30) at the age of 96, state news agency Xinhua said.
Jiang took power in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square crackdown and led the world's most populous nation towards its emergence as a powerhouse on the global stage.
"Jiang Zemin passed away due to leukemia and multiple organ failure in Shanghai at 12:13pm on Nov 30, 2022, at the age of 96, it was announced on Wednesday," Xinhua reported.

Bump
Burning.
Got put in place by Dung because was fine with mass murdering the people calling for liberty in 1989.
Started the mass organ harvesting of enemies of the state.
MSM saying he “stabilized” China after massacre. Sick. He was part of the massacre.
Two weeks ago I heard he died. Now today they announce he’s dead.
At least his condition is stabilized.
Just a few weeks after being led out of the party conference.
No, not at all suspicious.

Commies just gotta commie.
Between Xi and Putin, I wonder who is going to win this years Arkancide Cup? The winner gets the Cup and a kiss from Hillary. The looser gets extra tongue with their kiss.
“Just a few weeks after being led out of the party conference.”
Wasn’t the guy at the party conference Hu Jintao, not Jiang Zemin?
Evil lives such a long time on this Earth. So many “old” people damaging the lives of millions, it not billions. It gives me zero comfort that they will be dealt in the afterlife.
I believe you are correct. Just the same, Xi has been assiduously removing Jiang’s allies from positions of power for the last 10 years in a bid
to strengthen his power base.

The Chinese communist party resembles more the five families of the mob than a political structure. Always vying for power and authority, using fear and corruption to further their agendas.

I have observed that the CCP actually lost control. The people were allowed to prosper. Many went into business from Jack Ma at the top to street vendors and push cart operators. All the above are being destroyed by the CCP in some form or other.
Xi is wresting control and eliminating the party probusiness factions. Xi is leading the country back in the direction of Maoism. Business will be under government sanction and control. The CCP will control business. The current freedoms will be extinguished.
Meanwhile, the youth lie flat and the economy is sickened by tofu drang construction that invades all aspects of the economy.
The real estate development that produced the GDP growth has ended. The extent of that fact has yet to be realized as it filters down to job after job after job in businesses supporting the development.
Trouble? the only certainty is instability during the change, the transition
Good one.
Yes. Jiang was too infirm to go to it.
Agreed.
Rob Henderson has a fascinating essay on the phenomenon of what he calls the artificial dialectic in Communist countries: https://robkhenderson.substack.com/p/let-a-hundred-flowers-bloom
What’s happening in China now seems to fit in well with this perspective.
Jiang Zemin is still valiantly clinging to death.
He removed Hu Jintao’s allies. Zemin would start to have fewer allies anyway, he’s been out of power for 19 years.
