Audience friends, hello everyone! Welcome to watch “China-US Grand Vision”.
Zhu Rongji has passed away. This man, once known as the “Iron-Fisted Premier” in China, completed his life at the age of 98.
He was once a “rightist” figure in the Mao Zedong era, expelled from the party for 20 years. In the 1990s, he was one of the most powerful and individualistic political figures in China. He led the reform of state-owned enterprises, financial restructuring, and pushed for China to join the World Trade Organization, making him one of the most representative figures of China’s reform era.
However, even before the official announcement was made, rumors of Zhu Rongji’s death had already appeared on overseas social platforms, sparking speculation due to the time difference.
More intriguingly, Zhu Rongji’s passing coincided with the period of the CCP’s Beidaihe Conference. Amid ongoing rumors of infighting among top CCP leaders, the fate of figures closely associated with Zhu Rongji like Wang Qishan and Lou Jiwei has become a focus of outside attention.
So, does Zhu Rongji’s death conceal a sensitive signal of a new round of power struggles within the top CCP leadership?
Today, let’s talk about the complex and controversial life of Zhu Rongji.
