Hu Jintao distances himself from any connection to Ling Jihua. Jiang Zemin prepares to go to Beidaihe

Bowen News Agency has learned that at the Wednesday July 22, 2015 cremation ceremony of Communist Party elder Wan Li, former Communist Party leader Hu Jintao gave a lofty-sounding condolence speech and distanced himself from Ling Jihua, his former aide who is now being prosecuted. Jiang Zemin did not attend the funeral, but it’s not because he’s “in trouble.” On the contrary it’s because he’s in Shanghai and is expected to attend next week’s annual Party leaders’ conclave in Beidaihe.

The Communist Party’s annual Beidaihe meeting hasn’t taken place yet. Every year at this time for the past several years Jiang Zemin has gone to Beidaihe “on vacation” during this sensitive and important meeting time. Retired leaders attending the Beidaihe meeting appears to be “interference in politics.” But Bowen News has learned that due to the consolidation of Xi Jinping’s power, Jiang Zemin’s influence has greatly deteriorated.
