Healing China - Manifesting Rule of Law, Justice and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in the People's Republic of China (ePub)

Jiang Zemin obituary: "Chinese leader who oversaw economic growth and a stable relationship with the US, and encouraged his country to enter the world"

In his parting speech, at the 16th party congress in November 2002, Jiang completed the dismantling of Maoist China begun by his patron Deng Xiaoping, when he formally invited China's "new social strata" - private entrepreneurs, employees of foreign firms and the self-employed - to join the party.

There was no more talk of the "ultimate goal of communism": the guiding ideology instead was Jiang's much vaunted and awkwardly phrased doctrine of the Three Represents.

Jiang's more consensual approach to internal political life now seems very distant from the assertive and increasingly repressive rule of the current leader, Xi Jinping. The stable relationship that Jiang achieved with the US, already weakened, was further weakened by growing mistrust on both sides over a host of issues including Taiwan, the South China Sea and lack of Human Rights in China.

Jiang is survived by his wife, Wang Yeping, whom he married in 1949, and their sons, Mengheng and Mengkang.

Jiang Zemin, politician, born 17 August 1926; died 30 November 2022.

So we wish to express our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Jiang Zemin, who was a great statesman and peacemaker.

President Clinton also praised Jiang as a man who 'can imagine a future that is different from the present.'

Jiang's more consensual approach to internal political life now seems very distant from the assertive and increasingly repressive rule of the current leader, Xi Jinping.

So we would like to encourage President Xi Jinping to take the great legacy of Jiang Zemin as an example, and contribute to manifest Peace and Prosperity in the International Community - in particular Korea and Taiwan.

Indeed, President Xi Jinping recently told Kim Jong Un that he was willing to work with the North Korean leader for world peace - which I'm sure President Xi will do :)
