A memorial meeting for Jiang Zemin, who passed away on November 30 at the age of 96, was held Tuesday morning at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

He reinforced the one-China principle to become a world-recognized consensus among members of the United Nations and different international organizations, and warned off Taiwan secessionists with military force during the Taiwan Straits Crisis of 1995-1996, Li noted. Jiang did not waver from the trust given to him by the Party and the Chinese people, as he safeguarded socialism with Chinese characteristics with a series of successful efforts, analysts noted. "And with Jiang's leadership, China confidently promoted exchanges and communication with the outside world, and since the 1990s, China's idea of multilateralism has influenced many countries and won support worldwide, which fed into things like the establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and China's victory in gaining membership of the World Trade Organization. All participants in the Great Hall of the People paid a three-minute silent tribute to Jiang at the start of the memorial meeting on Tuesday. He therefore put a lot of effort into fixing ties and boosting mutual understanding between China and the US, as well as the whole Western world. Many people across the country who watched the meeting via TV or internet also paid tribute in their own ways, and many vehicles honked horns on the roads to pay tributes.

The image of the West really declined in China the last couple of decades. There was also a sense at the time in the late '90s that China would probably become more tolerant and be able to get along reasonably well with the U.S. Back in '97, there was this impromptu press conference at the Great Hall of the People, where this memorial is actually being held, and a bunch of American reporters came down, and Jiang was heading to the United States to meet President Clinton. Back in the '90s when it was under Jiang, it was a much more relaxed society. And, of course, Jiang also oversaw the return - it was a smooth return back then - of Hong Kong to Chinese rule back in 1997. LANGFITT: And of course, joining the World Trade Organization was a huge step for the country.

Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, ...

-- The leadership of the CPC is the fundamental guarantee for the cause of the Party and the people to go forward in spite of all difficulties. The whole Party, the entire military and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups must rally more closely around the CPC Central Committee, forge ahead with enterprise and fortitude, and strive in unity to build a modern socialist country in all respects and advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts. The passing of Comrade Jiang Zemin is an inestimable loss to our Party, our military and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups. In 2004, he offered to retire from his posts as chairman of the CMC of the CPC and chairman of the CMC of the PRC, which fully displays his great foresight for the development of the cause of the Party and the state. The distinctive revolutionary spirit and demeanor of Comrade Jiang Zemin will remain immortal in our hearts and will always educate and motivate us on the way forward. He always put the Party and the people first, and unswervingly adhered to the ideals and beliefs of communists. Comrade Jiang Zemin had a thorough understanding of the development trend of the new military transformation taking place in the world and led the formulation of the military strategy in a new period. These works are a major textbook that we can use to advance the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the great new project of Party building. Comrade Jiang Zemin attached great importance to the major strategic issues that were vital to the cause of the Party and the people. In particular, by pooling the wisdom of the whole Party, he formulated the Theory of Three Represents, which further answers the questions of what socialism is and how to build it, and creatively addresses what kind of Party to build and how to build it. Starting from 1985, Comrade Jiang Zemin served as mayor of Shanghai, deputy secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee, and then secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee. He was the core of the Party's third generation of central collective leadership and the principal founder of the Theory of Three Represents.
