Besides the remaining founding fathers of PRC, which are four, only two of whom (Jiao Ruoyu and Wan Haifeng) are indeed notable, it will be interesting to see which cadres show up. Zhu Rongji, Wen Jiabao, Hu Jintao have not taken part to Li Peng's funeral, still are being advertised for this event. Reportedly Jiang Zemin and Song Ping are too sick to be there. Song Ping was also recently widowed, I'd be surprised if he sees the year out. Jiang Zemin turned up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 12,085 Posted October 1, 2019 Yes, even Song Ping was there. The only notable absence was Zhu Rongji. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, I'm still pretty sue Biden is losing his marbles (and Trrump has none at all), but it hasn't stopped either one of them yet... IMO, there needs to be a max age limit for running for President - I'd say 70 - but that'll never happen, so this sort of news will continue to happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrWonderful 481 Posted October 17, 2019 Just saw this on CNN, but U.S. House Rep. Elijah Cummings has died at the age of 68. Apparently he died in the early morning hours at Johns Hopkins Hospital of what is being described as a "long-standing illness." I'm sure more info will come out in the coming hours, but he had surgery in May of 2017 to repair his aortic valve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
