Jiang Zemin steps down as leader of China

Or at least that's how the story goes. I am not sure whether it will really play out that way. I didn't see this coming, I thought he would be the next Mao/Deng--the paramount leader.

1. Because there was a Mao and then a Deng,

the next generation of geezers really, really resented what he was doing.

This was just a matter of time.
