Jiang
Zémín (born August 17, 1926) was the
"center of the third generation" of Communist Party
of China leaders, serving as General Secretary of
the Communist Party of China from 1989 to 2002, as
President of the People's Republic of China from
1993 to 2003, and as Chairman of the Central
Military Commission from 1989 to 2004.
His
theory of the Three Represents has been written
into the party and state constitutions. Under his
leadership, China experienced substantial economic
growth with reforms and improved its relations with
the outside world while the Communist Party
maintained its tight control over the government.
The books are a testament to Jiang's hybrid
persona during his time in office as leader of a
communist dictatorship that crushed any challenge
to its monopoly on power and a globe-trotting bon
vivant.
His travel book, "For a Better World: Jiang
Zemin's Overseas Visits," includes 167 pictures of
Jiang with leaders including former President Bill
Clinton and South Africa's Nelson Mandela. It
describes Jiang's campaign in the early 1990s to
thaw ties with the United States and the West and
end the diplomatic isolation imposed on Beijing
after it crushed pro-democracy protests in 1989 --
an incident that the book avoids
discussing.
Some analysts say that the book reflects
Jiang's desire, three years after he gave up power,
to be remembered as the leader who presided over
China's rise to unprecedented importance in trade
and global affairs.
NEWS
REPORT FROM RUSSIA 03:02
2004-09-20
Former President Jiang Zemin gave up the top job in
China's military yesterday, handing over his last
post to the Communist Party chief, Hu Jintao , to
complete the leadership transition to a younger
generation.
The Central Committee accepted the resignation of
Mr Jiang, 78, on the final day of a four-day
closed-door plenum and approved Mr Hu's rise to
chairman of the Central Military Commission. Mr Hu,
61, who replaced Mr Jiang as party chief in 2002
and as president in 2003, now holds the three most
powerful positions in China, completing out the
first orderly succession in Chinese Communist
history. "The Hu Jintao era has started," a Chinese
analyst said.
In a sign that Mr Jiang's influence is waning, his
closest political ally, Vice-President Zeng
Qinghong, did not join the military commission. Xu
Caihou, 61, took the post of vice-chairman, the
state Xinhua news agency said.
Rivalry between Mr Hu and his predecessor had
emerged subtly in recent weeks, but analysts said
the rivalry had not developed into a full-blown
power struggle because both saw stability as
indispensable to sustaining the economic growth
needed to maintain stability among China's 1.3
billion people, reports the NEWS.
According to the Straits Times, former Chinese
president Jiang Zemin yesterday relinquished his
last official post as head of the military.
The move completed the first peaceful power
transfer in China since the Communist Party came
into power in 1949.
His resignation as chairman of the Central Military
Commission (CMC) ended weeks of speculation over
the power struggle between him and President Hu
Jintao, and whether he would choose to hang on to
power.
Mr Jiang, 78, is replaced by Mr Hu, 61, who
succeeded him as general secretary of the party in
November 2002, and as President in March last
year.
Another member of the commission, General Xu
Caihou, 61, was promoted to the post of
vice-chairman, to fill the position vacated by Mr
Hu.
Significantly, Mr Jiang's protege, Vice-President
Zeng Qinghong , was not named to the commission, as
was widely speculated.
The commission was also expanded from eight to 11
members.
The chiefs of the navy, air force and artillery
corps were appointed to the commission, in a move
which was seen as diluting the influence of the
army.
Jiang, who oversaw China's rapid economic
development in the past decade, including the
acceptance of capitalists in the communist party,
was China's top ruler until 2002 - when he gave up
his post to President Hu in a reshuffle designed to
usher in a "fourth generation" of leaders. Yet
Jiang, still regarded as the most powerful
politician in China, had retained a firm grip on
the Central Military Commission. From this
position, he initiated a major modernizing of
China's military, wielded authority on the most
sensitive policies on Taiwan and North Korea, and
met foreign officials such as US National Security
Advisor Condoleezza Rice last June.
A number of prominent American scholars argue that
Jiang's half-in, half-out official status over the
past two years has caused confusion and a
"paralysis of policy," as Richard Baum of UCLA puts
it, at upper echelons of power in Beijing. The
emotional issue of Taiwan, for example, was made
"more dangerous and uncertain" in Mr. Baum's view,
due to a "lack of flexibility" among top leaders,
informs the Christian Science Monitor.
