Leveraging “Shenzhou V” to steal credit for his son
At 9 o’clock on October 15, 2003, the $19 billion Shenzhou V manned spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
Before the launch, Jiang Zemin said to be accompanied by Wu Bangguo and Zeng Qinghong personally to the launch base, to be the first and the astronaut hotline conversation, not to let Hu Jintao out of the limelight. But the plan is not as fast as change, before going to Jiang fell ill again, the result is still made Hu Jintao. Hu not only went to the scene to watch, but also gave a speech after the launch. But Jiang Zemin delayed until the next day to have the strength to call the commander-in-chief Li Jini to express congratulations.
However, the Shenzhou V has a big surprise, Jiang Zemin’s eldest son Jiang Mianheng actually became the “Shenzhou V deputy commander-in-chief”, appearing on two lists of meritorious officials, ranked second and fourth respectively. On October 17, Guangming Daily, one of the party’s mouthpieces, even used the “Shenzhou V” to make a big tree of Jiang Mianheng, leaving all walks of life in shock.
Jiang Mianheng received his doctorate in electrical engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia in June 1991 and then worked for Hewlett-Packard in the U.S. He returned to the Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in January 1993 and was promoted to the director of the Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy in July 1997, and was appointed vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences two years later by rocket in November 1999. In just six years, Jiang Mianheng jumped from an ordinary scientist to the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, all of which was specially arranged by Jiang Zemin.
The China Manned Space Engineering Command is the highest body responsible for the launch of Shenzhou V. General Li Ji-nei, a member of the Central Military Commission and head of the General Armament Department, is the commander-in-chief. The other four deputy commanders-in-chief, except for Jiang Mianheng, are all senior experts, including Hu Shixiang, vice minister of the General Armament Department, Zhang Qingwei, general manager of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and Luan Enjie, director of the National Space Administration.
Jiang Mianheng has no expertise in manned space engineering, let alone practical experience. Jiang Mianheng has no interest in scientific research and spends his time thinking about how he can use Jiang Zemin’s power to transfer money from the state treasury overseas, how he can get the most advanced network shielding technology to block real information from the people in China, how he can move up the ladder, and how to extend the life of the Jiang family dynasty.
Jiang Zemin is extremely greedy for power, and is also extremely afraid of losing power, without his fully trusted people in power, Jiang is not able to let go of his heart. Now facing a full handover, Jiang’s fears are even heavier, but also more hope to stabilize power, and power in the hands of his son Jiang feel the most reliable. Therefore, although how can not turn Jiang Mianheng as the deputy commander of the space project, Jiang Zemin but shamelessly put his son into the hard, in order to once the time is ripe, let Jiang Mianheng control the military power.
In fact, Jiang has long been his son’s relatives are placed in the core sector. Jiang Mianheng, the eldest son, controls the technical department of the Academy of Sciences, monitors China’s telecommunications and international networks, and controls technology and money; Jiang Miankang, the youngest son, has rocketed to Nanjing Military Region as a major general deputy political commissar. Under the strong pressure from inside and outside the party and from home and abroad to hand over the military power, Jiang is thinking about how to put his eldest son Jiang Mianheng into the military in order to control the military. Therefore, the “God five” a sky, the Jiang family father and son can not wait to reach out long hands to pick the peach.
In order to further grasp the power, Jiang Zemin also proposed to his dead friend and mistress Chen Zhili to participate in the National Military Commission, national defense science and technology, education-related work. But senior military generals despise Chen Zhili and nicknamed her “bitch Chen” behind her back. When discussed by the Standing Committee of the Central Politburo, Jiang’s proposal was shelved due to major differences.
When faced with the prospect of stepping down, Jiang Zemin kept moving. The company’s main goal was to make the company’s products and services available to the public.
