| Abstract | Jiang Zemin cried while delivering the eulogy at Deng Xiaoping's funeral last week. Whether the president was carried away by the emotions of the moment, or whether there was calculation hebind his tears, mattered little. After all, Jiang owes his position as China's leader to the late patriarch, so the wet eyes were entirely appropriate More to the point, they helped dampen apprehensions about whether the president intends to carry forward Deng's legacy of economic reforms and opening China to the world. |
