In 1987, Deng Xiaoping parachuted former CCP Premier Zhu Rongji into Shanghai as mayor to clean up Jiang Zemin’s mess. Before Zhu Rongji took office, he asked Li Ruihuan, then Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, twice for advice. Li Ruihuan gave five words of advice: “Choose a good breakthrough point.” Zhu Rongji and Li Ruihuan have been locked in a power struggle with Jiang Zemin for a long time in the Chinese Communist Party’s political arena. Both of them are Jiang Zemin’s mortal enemies.
Zhu Rongji had already conducted a series of research before officially taking office as mayor of Shanghai. Zhu Rongji once admitted that his work ideas were inspired by Li Ruihuan, then Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and Mayor. Zhu Rongji said that before coming to Shanghai to work, he asked Li Ruihuan twice for advice. “His experience is to choose a good breakthrough point.”
At that time, Li Ruihuan told Zhu Rongji, “Choose a good breakthrough point.” These five words were profound.
Zhu Rongji went to Shanghai to clean up Jiang Zemin’s mess
“Jiang Zemin: The Man” reveals Zhu Rongji’s background as mayor of Shanghai. In 1985, Jiang Zemin, who was good at flattering others, was recommended by Shanghai Mayor Wang Daohan, who insisted on resigning, and was promoted from Minister of Electronic Industry to Mayor of Shanghai. Although Jiang Zemin formed gangs to occupy Shanghai’s territory, during the two years he was mayor of Shanghai, citizens complained a lot. In 1986, Shanghai people had to buy many things with tickets. It turns out that in 1986, Guangdong Governor Ye Xuanping paid 250 million yuan in national taxes, while Shanghai Mayor Jiang Zemin paid 12.5 billion yuan for his political achievements, which was 50 times what Ye Xuanping paid. In just two years, Jiang Zemin dragged the people of Shanghai into a dilemma where they needed to solve the “vegetable basket problem.”
No matter how loudly Jiang Zemin flattered the party bosses, the fact that Jiang Zemin had made a lot of mess was the reality before Deng Xiaoping. Deng had to urgently send “economic tsar” Zhu Rongji to Shanghai as mayor to clean up Jiang’s mess, and asked Jiang Zemin to be transferred to the municipal party committee secretary. He only wanted to talk and ignore the reality.
Deng Xiaoping said that Jiang Zemin was jealous of Zhu Rongji
On the eve of June 4th in 1989, because Zhao Ziyang, then General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, opposed martial law, Jiang Zemin, then Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, relied on Li Xiannian and Chen Yun, who were both waiting comfortably in Shanghai, to recommend to Deng Xiaoping and be promoted to General Secretary of the Communist Party of China. location.
Jiang Zemin is very smart when it comes to flattering people, but he knows nothing about serious things, especially the economy. In April 1991, Deng Xiaoping transferred Zhu Rong back to Beijing as Vice Premier of the State Council and Director of the Production Office of the State Council, taking charge of economic power. Once, Deng specifically pointed at Zhu Rongji and said to Jiang Zemin: “I don’t understand economics, but he does!” What he really meant was: “You don’t understand economics, but he does!” After hearing this, Jiang Zemin felt as if his bottle of five flavors had been knocked over, and he became even more jealous of Zhu Rongji. hatred.
After Deng Xiaoping’s death in February 1997, Jiang Zemin’s power expanded rapidly. He not only controlled the military but was also the “party core” of the CCP. The only thing he could not interfere with was the economic decision-making power that was firmly in the hands of the “economic czar” Zhu Rongji. When Zhu Rongji visited the United States in April 1999, he failed to gain support from the United States for China’s entry into the World Trade Organization. One month later, an incident occurred when U.S. warplanes bombed the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia. Jiang Zemin used this as an excuse to seize Zhu’s power. From then on, Jiang and Zhu started a life-and-death struggle.
The “Jiang Clan” was involved in the Yuanhua case and Zhu Rongji personally investigated and handled it
In April 1999, Zhu Rongji ordered the establishment of a special task force to investigate on the grounds that smuggling activities were rampant in coastal areas, even affecting national tax revenue and disrupting economic order. Not long after, the Yuanhua case broke out. The 1999 Xiamen Yuanhua smuggling case was known as “China’s No. 1 Economic Case” and was personally supervised by the then Premier of the State Council, Zhu Rongji.
Since many “Jiang clique” core members were involved in the Yuanhua case, Zhu Rongji used this to attack Jiang Zemin. Lai Changxing disclosed in Canada that he had the support of Jiang Zemin’s secretary Jia Ting’an and Fujian Provincial Party Committee Secretary Jia Qinglin to smuggle large amounts of oil, private cars and other strategic materials. On the one hand, Jiang blocked the extradition of Lai Changxing, and on the other hand, he arrested Zhu Xiaohua, a close associate of Zhu Rongji and chairman of CITIC Group, for accepting bribes. But the fight between Jiang and Zhu around Lai Changxing ended with Zhu Rongji losing power and retreating.
Li Ruihuan is called “Jiang Kexing”
The feud between Jiang Zemin and Li Ruihuan has long been an open secret. Li Ruihuan looked down upon Jiang Zemin in terms of his thoughts, style, and abilities, and Jiang Zemin was also very dissatisfied with Li Ruihuan. Although Li Ruihuan was sitting on the bench in those years, he always spoke out against Jiang Zemin’s actions, which deepened the conflict with Jiang Zemin.
In the early years, it was Li Ruihuan who dared to confront Jiang Zemin in Zhongnanhai. Therefore, Li was called “Jiang’s Kexing.” According to people familiar with the CCP, Li Ruihuan and Jiang Zemin have been fighting openly and covertly for many years. Jiang Zemin has been very strict with Li Ruihuan. Li Ruihuan went to inspect various places. After he left, people from the Jiang Office would call to check who he had met and what he had said. . Jiang’s cronies once warned a local official to be wary of Li Ruihuan. Li Ruihuan is also the only member of the Politburo Standing Committee who dares to speak and is not afraid of offending Jiang Zemin.
As early as 2002, before the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, the 76-year-old Jiang Zemin was already clinging to power. In order for Jiang Zemin to retire and hand over to Hu Jintao, Li Ruihuan actually took Jiang Zemin’s resignation at the expense of his own early retirement, ensuring that Hu Jintao came to power smoothly. .
In those years, in the increasingly fierce game between the Hu-Xi camp and the Jiang faction, Li Ruihuan and Zhu Rongji frequently appeared to support Hu and Xi and to counter Jiang Zemin. In the Xi era, Zhu Rongji’s appearance was also “meaningful” in the desperate struggle among the top leaders of the CCP.
