Quick Glance: China party officials pay tribute to former leader Jiang Zemin
  • BEIJING, China (AP) – Former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, who died last week at the age of 96, was remembered Monday by Chinese President Xi Jinping and other current and former top officials. State television showed Xi, his predecessor Hu Jintao, and others kneeling in front of Jiang's body in a military hospital in Beijing.

  • Jiang, a qualified engineer and former mayor of Shanghai, was president for a decade until 2003 and led the ruling Communist Party for 13 years until 2002.

  • Jiang died of leukemia and multiple organ failure on November 30 in Shanghai, according to state media.

  • The Communist Party hailed him as a "great proletarian revolutionary" and "long-tested Communist fighter."

Quick Glance: Xi's Expensive Security Obsession
  • China's growth dilemma has only become worse.

  • That is the unambiguous conclusion that can be derived from the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) 20th National Congress.

  • Although China's growth should continue to be healthy, such a significant downturn from the previous hypergrowth trajectory is the Chinese equivalent of a recession.

  • With the working population declining, productivity growth must pick up to keep the economy on track.

  • The party congress also sounded the death knell for Chinese entrepreneurial activity, which had promised a productivity windfall in recent decades.

  • Those who are "lying flat" instead of having children add to official concerns about China's declining birth rate.

  • Officials may blame the lying flat issue on economic developments like rising property prices and interruptions in global supply lines, but Xi's third-term ambitions make him unlikely to accept criticism.

  • China relies on economic growth, but it is uncertain how the CCP and Xi will deal with the lying flat movement.
