Today’s front pages are all about yet another meeting – the enlarged meeting of the CPC Central Military Commission (CMC). At this meeting, Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin highly praised each other:
– President Hu Jintao praised Jiang for “historic contributions” to leadership transition: “Chairman Jiang’s noble character, sterling integrity and broad-mindedness has set a splendid example for us.”
– Jiang said the following:
Comrade Hu Jintao is the General Secretary of the Party and President of the State, so it’s natural and convincing for him to take over as the chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC)…
I’m convinced that the Party Central Committee has made a correct decision in choosing Comrade Hu Jintao to take over as the CMC chairman … All of you must advocate the Party Central Committee’s decision and resolutely support [Hu’s] work.
