Xi Jinping and Jiang Zemin have engaged in an ugly power struggle for ten years. Former CCP leader Jiang Zemin rose to power during the 1989 pro-democracy student movement. He died at the time when massive protests broke out again across China. Some people wonder If Jiang’s death will cause widespread unrest in China, similar to how Hu Yaobang’s death contributed to the 1989 student movement.
