[EXCERPT]
Jiang was tasked with improving China’s image during worldwide condemnation after the military’s deadly putdown of student-led pro-democracy protests at Tiananmen Square.
The former mayor of Shanghai, Jiang invited entrepreneurs to join the Communist Party and increase economic changes while modernizing the Chinese military and tightening political control during his 11-year rule.
“He managed to steer China from great difficulties to great promise,” Jia Qingguo, the former dean of Peking University’s School of International Studies, told NPR.
“China became — under his leadership — more open to the outside world, more liberal and China’s economy became more dynamic.”
Jiang’s leadership in China’s capitalist transformation helped the country build its middle and upper classes, lifting it into the world’s second-largest economy behind the United States. His political stature helped usher in the current President, Xi Jinping.
