CMC

Zhang Wannian, former vice chairman of the Chinese regime’s Central Military Commission (CMC), passed away on Jan. 14 in Beijing. Zhang is mostly known for challenging the former Chinese leader Hu Jintao, and for his statement in 2000 when he threatened an imminent war with Taiwan.

Jiang Zemin’s days are numbered. It is only a question of when, not if, the former head of the Chinese Communist Party will be arrested. Jiang officially ran the Chinese regime for more than a decade, and for another decade he was the puppet master behind the scenes who often controlled events. During those decades Jiang did incalculable damage to China. At this moment when Jiang’s era is about to end, Epoch Times here republishes in serial form “Anything for Power: The Real Story of Jiang Zemin,” first published in English in 2011. The reader can come to understand better the career of this pivotal figure in today’s China.

The new Chinese Communist Party head and former leader have been hard at work reshuffling key officials to curtail a rival faction.
