The feud between Chen Xitong and Jiang Zemin spanned thousands of miles, and Chen took action first.
2012″June 4th“eve,Chen XitongHe once published a memoir in Hong Kong, apologizing for himself and pointing the finger atJiang Zemin. What is the relationship between Chen Xitong and Jiang Zemin?Entanglementseven before Chen died, he still thought about falling into the river, “Jiang Zemin the person“The book exposed the detailed inside story.
Jiang Zemin hates and fears Chen Xitong and is filled with jealousy
The city of Beijing is a battleground for power struggles. If the power of the Beijing Garrison, the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and the Central Guard Corps cannot be firmly grasped, the top leaders of the CCP will have no sense of security at all. Therefore, Jiang Zemin was very eager to capture Beijing.
After the “June 4th Incident”, Chen Xitong was favored by Deng Xiaoping and continued to be promoted, taking over as secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee. At the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1992, he became a member of the Politburo with great arrogance.
According to the book “Jiang Zemin: The Man”, Chen Xitong believed that he had done a good job in safeguarding the country and should at least move up the ranks as a member of the Politburo. Unexpectedly, he was taken advantage of by Jiang Zemin, and his psychology was naturally very unbalanced. In addition, Chen Xitong had a very good relationship with Deng Xiaoping. When Deng inspected Shougang in 1992, he publicly declared that Chen was a reformist. This gave Chen the ability to look down on Jiang Zemin. Therefore, if Jiang Zemin wants to control Beijing, the biggest problem he needs to solve is Chen Xitong.
Jiang Zemin loves to be in the limelight and has a strong hatred. The narrow-minded Jiang will definitely take revenge on those who look down on him. This can be confirmed by putting Liu Xiaoqing in prison. Jiang Zemin has always hated and feared Chen Xitong.
Chen Xitong provoked Jiang Zemin and laid the foundation for disaster
Behind Jiang Zemin’s back, Chen Xitong arranged for Hu Qili, the former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China to step down due to the June Fourth Incident, and Wan Li, the former chairman of the National People’s Congress of the Communist Party of China, to meet with Jiang Zemin’s most taboo members of the Zhao family. After Jiang learned about this, he could only sulk himself because he did not dare to offend Wan Li.
Later, Deng Xiaoping personally ordered Hu Qili to return, confirming the close relationship between Wan Li and the Zhao family. Jiang Zemin was most afraid of the Zhao clique’s comeback, so he was extremely resentful of Chen Xitong.
Old grudges have not gone away, but new grudges have arisen. When Deng Xiaoping visited southern China in the spring of 1992, Chen Xitong already knew that Deng Xiaoping advocated continuing and deepening reforms. Under Chen’s instruction, the Beijing Daily reprinted the full text of Deng Xiaoping’s southern speech from a Shenzhen newspaper, one day earlier than the People’s Daily, which made Jiang Zemin very passive. In Jiang Zemin’s view, Chen’s reform rhetoric and performance further highlighted Jiang’s rigidity and conservatism. Jiang Zemin’s hatred for Chen Xitong deepened.
Soon after, Zhou Guanwu, who was the chairman of Shougang at the time, and Chen Xi and others arranged for Deng Xiaoping to inspect Shougang. Deng Xiaoping said in front of many cadres and workers of Shougang that some people listened to what I said recently and others did not, and Beijing had already taken action. But there are still people at the central level who are refusing to do anything about it. Deng then asked Chen Xitong to “send a message to the central government” and “anyone who opposes the line of the 13th National Congress will step down.” These words sounded like thunder to Jiang Zemin at the time.
Through the General Office of the Central Committee, Jiang asked Chen Xitong why he did not inform Jiang Zemin of the time of Deng’s inspection in advance. Chen retorted that the Central Office should ask Deng’s office about Deng’s schedule of activities, instead of attacking Beijing. After Jiang Zemin was contradicted, he made up his mind to overthrow Chen.

Infighting between Jiang and Chen, Chen Xitong made the first move
When Chen Xi was mayor of Beijing, Jiang Zemin was secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee. However, as a Beijing official, Chen Xitong was much better informed than Jiang Zemin. Jiang Zemin also knew that Chen had a very good relationship with Deng Xiaoping and Li Peng, so every time he saw Chen Xitong at that time, he smiled flatteringly. In the first two years as General Secretary, Jiang Zemin still kept his tail between his legs, and at least he still respected Li Peng. However, after he succeeded in overthrowing Yang at the 14th National Congress, Jiang Zemin’s tail became higher and higher day by day.
Chen Xitong watched Jiang Zemin’s changes, and also knew that Jiang Zemin had a feud with him because of the Hu Qili incident and the Southern Tour incident. According to Chen Xitong’s observation, Jiang Zemin is definitely a man who is determined to retaliate against others. After the 1986 Shanghai student uprising, Chen also heard a lot about Jiang’s settlement of accounts with those students who dared to challenge him. Since he had offended Jiang, for the sake of his own safety, Chen Xitong hoped to unseat Jiang Zemin while Deng Xiaoping was still alive.
So Chen Xitong united seven provincial committees in early 1995 and wrote a joint letter to Deng Xiaoping to report Jiang Zemin.
Jiang Zemin made a deal with Bo Yibo and Chen Xitong was thrown out
The content of this letter was not known to the outside world. Deng did not comment after reading it, but handed the letter to Bo Yibo for processing. Before the June 4th Incident, when the eight elders were discussing Zhao Ziyang’s successor, Deng wanted Li Ruihuan or Qiao Shi to be appointed. Bo Yibo strongly recommended Jiang Zemin. Deng Xiaoping was also old and did not have the energy to change another general secretary, otherwise he would take action after the southern tour in 1992. However, when he gave the letter to Bo Yibo, he also wanted Bo Yibo to take a look at Jiang Zemin, whom he recommended. What kind of thing is this?
Bo Yibo is an expert at manipulating people. He is accustomed to speculating, burning bridges, and adding insult to injury. He has a bad reputation among senior officials. One thing is most telling. It was Hu Yaobang who rehabilitated Bo Yibo and was released from prison in 1979. At the Fourth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China that year, it was Hu Yaobang who elected Bo Yibo as a member of the Central Committee and later served as Vice Premier of the State Council, State Councilor, and Deputy Director of the Central Advisory Commission. But on January 15, 1987, Bo Yibo presided over an enlarged meeting of the Politburo and advocated for Hu Yaobang to step down.
When Bo Yibo saw Chen Xitong’s letter of accusation, he not only did not want to continue to investigate Jiang Zemin’s issues, but was secretly happy to have seized Jiang’s hand, because this was tantamount to seizing Jiang’s power and could make good use of and blackmail Jiang. He promoted his son Bo Xilai and his cronies to higher positions.
So Bo Yibo called Jiang Zemin and handed the letter over in person without saying a word. After reading the contents of the report letter, Jiang turned blue, broke out in a cold sweat, and trembled. He begged Bo Yibo on the spot to put in a good word for him in front of Deng Xiaoping and keep his position as general secretary. Bo Yibo said he would do his best and instructed Jiang that if he wanted to avoid causing trouble in the future, he must bring down Chen Xitong. He could start by starting around Chen Xitong. Jiang Zemin nodded like garlic and said yes again and again. Bo Xilai’s future success was entirely due to the special relationship between his father, Bo Yibo, and Jiang Zemin.

The fight between Jiang and Chen is coming to an end and Wang Baosen dies mysteriously
After careful calculation, Jiang aimed his gun at Wang Baosen, the then deputy mayor of Beijing. In 1995, former Shougang Chairman Zhou Guanwu resigned due to economic problems, and his son Zhou Beifang was also arrested and imprisoned. The bribery case of the Beijing Secretariat Group was exposed. In April of the same year, Vice Mayor Wang Baosen died on a mountain called Qifengcha in Huairou County, a suburb of Beijing. The official report was that Wang committed suicide by swallowing a gun.
In fact, it can be seen from the footprints, wounds, gunpowder, bullet casings and other clues at the scene that Wang committed suicide rather than suicide. An obvious piece of evidence is that only the bullet head was found at the scene, while the bullet casing was found by the police using a mine detector, and the bullet casing had been stepped into the soil. The place where Wang died was inaccessible, and the scene was protected after the incident. The fact that the bullet casing was “stepped into the soil” can only mean that there were people around Wang when he died. According to internal information from the National Security Bureau, this person is a National Security agent sent by Jiang Zemin.
Wang Baosen’s death made Chen Xitong panic. According to the rules of the CCP’s officialdom, what can and cannot be reported depends entirely on the preferences of the top leaders. However, since Wang Baosen’s death was broadcast on CCTV, this heralded the beginning of a storm of power struggle. Zhou Beifang was sentenced, and Deng Xiaoping had to consider his own funeral. If he had a bad relationship with Jiang, the descendants of the Deng family might also become targets of Jiang’s purge. Chen Xitong saw that a few months after his report letter was sent, Jiang Zemin was still on stage, indicating that Deng Xiaoping had no intention of changing horses. At this point, Chen finally knew that he was doomed.
In the end, Jiang Zemin got his wish, and Chen was imprisoned for corruption and dereliction of duty, and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Chen Xitong continues to sue Jiang for his life
After Chen Xitong was released from prison on “medical parole,” he wrote a 50,000-word complaint, accusing Jiang Zemin of political persecution against him, claiming that he was a victim of a power struggle, and reporting on Jiang Zemin and his son’s economic crimes. Accused Jiang Zemin’s son Jiang Mianheng of illegally transferring state-owned assets involving RMB 15 million.
At the end of May 2012, on the eve of the 23rd anniversary of the June 4th Massacre, Chen Xitong published his memoirs “Chen Xitong’s Personal Narratives – It’s hard to tell the truth” in Hong Kong, in which he defended himself and secretly accused Jiang Zemin, the former General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, as the chief culprit in persecuting him. The culprit. He quoted Li Ximing, the former secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, as saying that Jiang Zemin is a big political liar and opportunist who took the opportunity to seek explanations from the new leadership of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Unfortunately, Chen Xitong died prematurely and had no chance to expose more of Jiang Zemin and the CCP’s shady story. In this regard, Yao Jianfu, the author of the book “Chen Xitong’s Personal Narrative – It’s Hard to Tell the Truth” and the former General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Zhao Ziyang, said with regret that Chen Xitong originally promised to continue to talk to him about the situation and provide him with information. , “There is no such opportunity now.”
