China’s former president, Jiang Zemin (江泽民) continues to exert great influence on China’s political system many years after he left the presidency. Having watched Xi Jinping rise and break nearly every political norm that President Xi’s predecessors had established in the wake of Mao Zedong’s debilitating cult of personality, Jiang Zemin has chafed under President Xi’s rule.

Speculations about the deteriorating health of the 96-year-old political veteran, have run rampant over the past years. Rumors circulate about Jiang's critical health almost every year. Former Chinese President Jiang Zemin's last public appearance was back to 2019's 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.

"I want to ask about his secret for longevity," said one posting on China's Twitter-like social network Weibo. "How many organs must he have had replaced to be standing in the middle of the stage?" asked another, before China's notorious internet censors swooped in to delete most of the postings within a couple of hours.
