1. Comb your hair
In late June 1996, Jiang Zai visited Spain. King Carlos of Spain invited Jiang Zemin to review the honor guard of the three armed forces. What surprised Carlos was that at this moment, Jiang Zemin suddenly took out a comb and combed his hair in front of the king. At the welcoming state banquet in the evening, Jiang Zemin sat on the right side of the Queen and once again combed his hair in front of the camera. On June 25, Spain’s largest newspaper, El Nacional, and many other newspapers published a news picture with the headline “King Carlos watching Jiang Zemin comb his hair.” Soon, many newspapers around the world reprinted it.
There are many records of Jiang Zemin combing his hair in front of television cameras. In March 1993, when the National People’s Congress was held in Beijing, Jiang Zemin sat in the center of the podium, picked up a comb and combed his hair with concentration as if no one else was around. Agence France-Presse spread the photo around the world. On October 24, 1995, Jiang Zemin gave a speech in front of the United Nations “Century Tripod”. In front of photographers from all over the world, Jiang Zemin once again picked up a comb from the inner pocket of his suit to comb his hair.

2. Sing
Jiang Zemin visited the Philippines in 1996 and offered to abandon the sovereignty dispute over the Nansha Islands and jointly pursue economic development. That night, Philippine President Ramos hosted Jiang Zemin for a banquet on the yacht. Jiang Zemin thought of Senator Arroyo whom he had just met (Arroyo was later elected as President of the Philippines in 2001 and was known as the “Beautiful President” by his people). Still unsatisfied, Jiang Zemin picked up the microphone and sang a song by Elvis Presley. Love me tenderly” (Lovemetender).
In 2002, when Jiang Zemin went to Iceland, he made a huge fool of himself. Halfway through the meal at the state banquet, Jiang Zemin suddenly stood up and sang a song, which shocked the guests and guests present. Jiang’s wife, Wang Yeping, had a very embarrassed facial expression at the time, and the whole situation was reported in detail with large color photos by Iceland’s largest daily newspaper.

3. Dance
On October 24, 1999, when Jiang Zemin was visiting a museum in France, on a whim, taking advantage of French President Chirac’s unpreparedness, he took the hand of Chirac’s wife, Bernadette, and danced a waltz. While Sihak was surprised, Jiang Zemin held Bernadette’s hand and raised his head and laughed. This incident made Shihak very unhappy and thought it was embarrassing for himself.
When Jiang Zemin visited Türkiye on April 19, 2000, Turkish President Demirel awarded Jiang a medal. As we all know, in such an occasion, according to normal etiquette, the host should put a medal on Jiang. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zemin took the lead and picked up the medal and put it on himself, which stunned the guests and guests present.
On February 21, 2002, Jiang Zemin hosted a banquet to welcome US President Bush at the Great Hall of the People. Jiang Zemin sang “My Sun” in front of more than 100 guests present. US President Bush immediately applauded, and then half-jokingly asked Secretary of State Ball to serenade him. Ball politely refused with a smile. During the dinner, Jiang Zemin once again pulled the first lady of the United States, Laura, to dance. After the dance, Jiang, who was still not satisfied, also pulled the U.S. National Security Advisor Rice and Sarah, the wife of the ambassador to Beijing, to dance with her.

4. Too Young
The most interesting thing is a widely circulated video of Jiang Zemin furiously cursing a Hong Kong reporter. Even the officially published Kuhn’s “Jiang Zemin Biography” could not avoid the scandal of Jiang’s gaffe, downplaying it as an outburst of Jiang’s. In fact, Jiang’s personality and conduct were fully revealed in that sudden loss of control.
On October 27, 2000, a Hong Kong reporter asked Jiang Zemin in Zhongnanhai whether Tung Chee-hwa had been “officially appointed” in the 2002 Hong Kong chief executive election. Jiang Zemin suddenly became excited and got angry, reprimanding the Hong Kong reporter for being “naive” and “simple.”
Reporter: Chairman Jiang, do you think it is good for Mr. Dong to be re-elected?
Jiang: Okay!
Reporter: Does the central government also support him?
Jiang: Of course!
Reporter: Aren’t you worried that this will affect Hong Kong’s autonomy?
Jiang: What I said is not that I want to appoint him. Are you asking me whether I support him? When I say I support it, I will tell you clearly, you guys, I feel that your journalism community also needs to learn from it. You are very much learning from Western practices. You must be Too Young. Do you understand what this means?
Let me tell you, I have experienced hundreds of battles and have seen a lot. There is no country in the West that I have not been to. You also know that Wallace in the United States is infinitely higher (level) than you. I chatted and laughed with him. , but the media must also improve their knowledge level, (in Cantonese) whether they know it or not!
You have a good idea. Where in the world are you the fastest? But the questions I keep asking are too simple (too simple) and sometimes naive (sometimes ignorant). Do you understand? As an elder today, I have seen too much. I can tell you a little about my life experience. The Chinese have a saying: “You can make a fortune silently”, so I won’t say anything. This is the best, but I Since I saw you being so enthusiastic, it would be better not to say a word. You were just promoting it. If there is any deviation in your reporting in the future, you will be responsible. …
The next day, October 28, the Hong Kong media condemned Jiang Zemin in an unprecedented chorus. This was the first time the local media launched such a large-scale condemnation of a head of state in mainland China since Hong Kong returned to the Chinese Communist Party in 1997. Local newspapers accused Jiang Zemin of being “guilty and arrogant.” Almost all newspapers published photos showing Jiang Zemin’s anger, as well as the full text of Jiang Zemin’s Q&A with reporters.

In international politics, few leaders of a country have the opportunity to be recorded by the media with such true emotional expressions. This classic question and answer, coupled with Jiang’s facial expressions and gestures at the time, is enough for anyone with a little experience. The audience has an inseparable judgment on Jiang’s character. Among them, Wallace mentioned by Jiang directly pointed out Jiang’s pain point. Wallace is the former ace host of “60 Minutes”. His program has long occupied a place among the top ten most watched programs in the United States. The American press praised him as a “journalism pioneer”. He died on April 7, 2012, at the age of 93. Wallace and Jiang Zemin did meet in 2000. However, what is interesting is that the issues that Wallace dealt with at that time were particularly sensitive, such as June Fourth and Falun Gong, and he asked candidly. The dialogue between the two cannot be described as “laughing and joking”, but more like “tit-for-tat”.
Wallace: “You, to me, are a dictator, an authoritarian.”
Jiang Zemin: “Frankly speaking, I don’t agree with your point of view.”
Wallace: “I know you disagree. But as the American saying goes, if you walk like a duck and quack like a duck, then you are a duck. A dictator is a forceful suppressor, whether the object is freedom of the press, Freedom of religion, or freedom of private enterprise. You’re getting a little closer now.”
This classic dialogue was once again widely circulated on the Internet when Wallace passed away. While people remember and admire Wallace’s courage and wisdom, they also see the duck-like ugliness of a dictator.
Jiang Zemin had already caused a stir before by often making fools of himself, and even became an international laughing stock. For a head of state who represents the dignity of the country, this kind of clown performance is very disgusting to the Chinese people.
