Former Chinese President and Chinese Communist Party General Secretary Jiang Zemin casts his ballot during the closing session for the 18th National Congress of China's Communist Party at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Nov. 14, 2012.
He presided over the nation’s rise as a global manufacturer, the return of Hong Kong and Macao from Britain and Portugal and the achievement of a long-cherished dream: winning the competition to host the Olympic Games after an earlier rejection. He spoke enthusiastic if halting English and would recite the Gettysburg Address for foreign visitors. On a visit to Britain, he tried to coax Queen Elizabeth II into singing karaoke.
Like many technocratic officials, Jiang spent part of the ultra-radical 1966-76 Cultural Revolution as a farm laborer. His career rise resumed, and in 1983 he was named minister of the electronics industry, then a key but backward sector the government hoped to revive by inviting foreign investment. Foreign leaders and CEOs who shunned Beijing after the crackdown were persuaded to return. When Deng emerged from retirement in 1992 to push for reviving market-style reform in the face of conservative opposition after the Tiananmen crackdown, Jiang followed.
Activists who tried to form an opposition China Democracy Party, a move permitted by Chinese law, were sentenced to up to 12 years in prison on subversion charges.
智者，先生千古。
the Chinese 🇨🇳 government's attack on the International🌏 HumanRights system must be resisted. Now is the Time to take a stand. Decades of progress on HumanRights are at stake. The Chinese🇨🇳 government must be held accountable for its horrific Humanrightsviolations.
R.I.P
“中国人民是不可战胜的！”
默哀
Rest in peace
即使是最恶毒，最疯狂的白皮鬼子也不能否定他的成绩和历史地位😇
When studying for my bachelor's degree at SJTU, Jiang's alma mater, I heard of the contributions Jiang made to his country and the course of peace. Mr.Jiang was never a perfect human. Nonetheless, he was good enough to be regard as an outstanding man and a great leader. R.I.P

Appears the bots and the CCP nationals really feel they have to show love for this guy.
If JoeBiden and the Dems gave a sh.. about democracy and freedom they would be speaking out loudly and forcefully against the brutal communist dictatorship. They believe we should be like China
Why didn't he take a few with him?
great leader
Has *been killed* there, i fixed it.
Timing is everything. At a time of nationwide protest, former president dies. It sounds so familiar. 8964 see my pinned tweet plz
放你娘的屁！你要说清楚，拿的什么镇压！枪？催泪弹？还是开车碾压？日你妈
White pig so disgusting
☠️💉
🙏🙏🙏
great leader
End of the era of Chinese opening up. RIP
Great leader! R.I.P
You mean 'Chairman Jiang' A clue to better journalism can be found later in your sentence; someone who 'crushes pro-democracy' doesn't deserve the moniker of 'President'
Jiang, who sold a large part of China to Russia for his personal benefit, and instigated deadly persecution of Chinese spiritual groups. Several of my Chinese friends were locked in China's jails and labor camps for years, just because of their personal spiritual beliefs
Only the good die young.
走好，默哀
长者一路走好
R.I.P一路走好
we love him
R.I.P
Our president Jiang has served China and Chinese people well, led to high growth economically! immortal in the heart of Chinese people.
He was too simple, sometimes naive!
最自信外交家
RIP
前几天因为一些原因刚回顾了邓公，邓颖超，宋庆龄，毛主席，朱德，周恩来去世时的讣告……结果……唉，一代代陨落😥
As a Chinese, we are grateful to these communists who have dedicated their lives to the people!
Time has proven him right though
感谢长者带领中国取得的巨大成就
🕯️🕯️🕯️RIP
R.I.P
Weird it’s almost like time is praising a murderous, communist, dictator.
一代人有一代人的使命
沉痛哀悼江泽民同志！长者一路走好！
The Chinese government just wants to use this to change the topic, because China's online platform does not allow any content related to previous protests to be reported
communist china, don't care
RIP
R.I.P
Too young
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
器官移植失敗，被殘留在器官内，他投放的致癌物質、地溝油、三聚氰胺、蘇丹紅、毒疫苗……給毒死了！
R.I.P
Comrade Jiang Zemin is immortal!
江泽民是除了革命时期的毛泽东以外历届领导人中处境最艰难的，但最终取得巨大成就。政治上稳定国内动荡，香港、澳门回归，经济上加入世贸组织，取得巨大经济成功。可以说中国在他手上把一手烂牌打成好牌。
Nice！dead too late
Actually during that time it was Hu Jintao, Jiang Zemin was elected in 2012.
who led his country out of isolation after the crushing of pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square
