inlinesix Supersonic November 30, 2022 Share November 30, 2022 (edited) Jiang Zemin, who succeeded Deng Xiaoping as China's leader, died from leukaemia and multiple organ failure. BEIJING: 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 leukaemia 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. When Jiang replaced Deng Xiaoping as leader in 1989, China was still in the early stages of economic modernisation. Jiang was president from 1993 to 2003. By the time he retired as president, China was a member of the World Trade Organization, Beijing had secured the 2008 Olympics, and the country was well on its way to superpower status. Analysts say Jiang and his "Shanghai Gang" faction continued to exert influence over communist politics long after he left the top job. He is survived by his wife Wang Yeping and two sons. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/former-china-president-jiang-zemin-dies-age-96-3111731 Edited November 30, 2022 by inlinesix ↡ Advertisement 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodooman Supersonic December 1, 2022 Share December 1, 2022 Wonder how history will judge him. He lived to a ripe old age, probably did more good than bad. Many of his kar kia are however not so lucky, languishing in prison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of his kar kia are however not so lucky, languishing in prison. It is never easy to rule 1.4 billion. Nobody is perfect and I am very sure he has made many mistakes but end of the day, during his time, has the life of the people improved or suffer? It is for them to judge. From outside, we can say good or bad, that didn't matter to those that are directly affected. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
