The Unity Show: Xi's Tribute to Jiang Zemin The grand ceremony held in Beijing's Great Hall of the People on Monday was a masterclass in party politics.
President Xi Jinping's eulogy for former president Jiang Zemin demonstrated his own grip on power more than it honored the man being remembered.
All seven members of the Standing Committee of the Politburo were present, including former premier Wen Jiabao and vice presidents Wang Qishan and Zeng Qinghong.
