Dying Probably 579 Posted July 26, 2020 Surprised to learn there wasn't a forum for Jiang Zemin, president of China from 1993 to 2003. He is already 93 years old and seems to be so frail that people were holding his arms to ensure he didn't fall at the funeral of Li Peng. Those images are a year old on Wednesday. He's got to be soon to kick the bucket! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's got to be soon to kick the bucket! He was seen at PRC 70th anniversary celebration last October. He spoke for two hours and can walk with aid. He is not going anytime soon, actually. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 12,134 Posted November 4, 2020 Death rumours (completely false!) are circulating again after he failed to attend the PCC plenum. Mind you, both Zhu Rongji and Song Ping, who are severly ailing managed to appear, though not in person. Song looked frail and all he said was like "it's fine" after a 50 minute speech of someone else. Jiang should probably be included on next year DL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 12,134 Posted February 23, 2021 The company founded by his grandson, Boyu Capital, moves from Hong Kong to Singapore. Insiders say this is due to the declining influence of 94-year old Jiang, which is seen as a sign his health is not at best. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sideik 236 Posted March 6, 2021 My browser wasn't able to translate this page, but the title seems to suggest that Jiang Zemin might be dead already, doesn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Secretchina, Epoch Times, Soundofhope are all rubbish websites which spend 90% of their time attacking Jiang Zemin. I guarantee he is very much alive and it won't be fucking secretchina to break the news when he dies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 12,134 Posted July 2, 2021 Fails to appear at CCP 100th anniversary. The old man is very sick as there is no reportedly political reason behind this. Also absent premier Zhu Rongji, who has been hospitalised for over two years, and Jiang's henchman Luo Gan, who is said to be seriously ill too. Present and in great shape was 104 year old fucker Song Ping, who quite stole the show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,868 Posted July 2, 2021 Xi Jingping and Hu Jintao. Song Ping. Do we know who are the two people behind him and the one next to him (+ the one behind the person next to him)? They don't look as great as the 104-year old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure but the guy next to the person behind him should be Hu Qili. Not bad for someone who was on his deathbed in 2018. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 11,073 Posted September 26, 2022 Well... His death wasnt over-shadowed by the Queen after all, just a little late. (Arguably, nobody's death was over-shadowed, as it turned out. I thought Jean-Luc Godard got a sufficient amount of coverage.) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 12,134 Posted October 4, 2022 Notice three oldest and ailing Chinese cadres, Zhu Rongji, Song Ping and Jiang Zemin have all managed to show up in some form in recent months. The upcoming CCP Congress may bring up other zombies such as Hu Qili and Chi Haotian. It just seems it is not their time yet. IMHO three/four years will be needed before they even start to fall.

arghton 6,868 Posted October 4, 2022 Should be on DL 2023 IMO if he makes it that far. The average lifespan of a toad (see this) is around 10-15 years and he's a bit above that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 12,134 Posted October 4, 2022 Like many of them now he and his wife live in a hospital. That does not mean they are particularly ill, just they have some issues which require to be monitored continuosly. They will be kept alive no matter what. I think he'll actually make It to 100, maybe in dire condition, but still there. Bad Pick for 2023. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
