Jiang to resign: New York Times

Jiang Zemin

Former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, who remains the country's top military leader, has told Communist Party officials that he plans to resign, prompting an intense and so far inconclusive struggle for control of the armed forces, The New York Times reported on its Web site Sept. 6.

Citing two unnamed sources with leadership connections, the newspaper said Jiang's offer to relinquish authority as chairman of the Central Military Commission potentially gives Hu Jintao, who succeeded Jiang as president of China in 2002, a chance to become the country's undisputed top leader, commanding the state, the army and the ruling party.
