The Jiang Zemin Centenary: A Test of Xi Jinping's Embrace of China's Past The upcoming centenary celebrations for former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin mark a significant moment in the country's ongoing struggle to come to terms with its complex history.
For decades, Jiang's legacy has been subject to revision and reinterpretation by successive Communist Party leaderships.
As part of the festivities, state broadcaster CCTV has launched a 12 part documentary series on Jiang Zemin, airing two episodes nightly at prime time.
