Jiang Mianheng

Shanghai’s officialdom is in turmoil.

Nearly 70 years later, today’s Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has achieved much of Orwell’s dystopian nightmare.

The investigation of SAIL is the latest step by anti-corruption investigators into Jiang Mianheng, and by extension his father’s, political power.

The recent removal of top officials in Shanghai, Jiang Zemin’s power base, indicates that Xi Jinping is moving to consolidate power.

A toxic chemical plant that blew up in China recently is both hazardous to the environment and was constructed under a cloud of controversy and conspiracy.

One of the world’s largest mobile phone chip makers, U.S.-based Qualcomm Inc., has been issued a fine of 6.088 billion yuan ($973 million) by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the highest fine ever issued to a company in China.

Chinese regime leader Xi Jinping has announced as an objective for 2015 no factions in the Chinese Communist Party—something at least one commentator views as impossible.

Chinese anti-corruption investigators are savaging China Unicom, the second-largest (and state run) telecommunications firm in China.

With the arrests of two high-ranking executives at China Unicom, the anti-corruption campaign that has swept through the Chinese Communist Party over the past two years has now begun targeting the telecommunications sector.

Reports by China Central TV about a scandal in China Mobile targets more than the telecommunications industry—another signal has been given that former Chinese Communist Party head Jiang Zemin is in trouble.

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.
