| | + | ===Jiang Zemin 1992-2002=== |
| | + | Deng's health deteriorated in the years prior to his death in 1997. During that time, President Jiang Zemin and other members of his generation gradually assumed control of the day-to-day functions of government. This "third-generation" leadership governed collectively with President Jiang at the center. |
| | + | |
| | + | In March 1998, Jiang was re-elected President during the 9th National People's Congress. Premier Li Peng was constitutionally required to step down from that post. He was elected to the chairmanship of the National People's Congress. Zhu Rongji was selected to replace Li as Premier. |

| | + | ===610 Office=== |
| | + | |
| | + | The [[610 Office]] is the main organization created to eliminate Falun Gong. It is nominally subordinate to the Political and Legal Affairs Committee (PLAC). The Political and Legal Affairs Committee purview was expanded after the 610 Office was incorporated into it. |
| | + | |
| | + | The 610 Office derives its name from the date of its founding, June 10th, 1999. After that date, almost every Party branch, from the province to the county to the district level, established its own 610 Office. The source of the 610 Office’s ability to operate extralegally and with impunity is not drawn from the State. Neither the People's Congress nor the State Council has authorized its actions. Rather, approval and support for its deeds come from the CCP. Each 610 Office takes orders from the 610 Office one level above it, going up to the Central Committee 610 Office. The local 610 Offices also take orders from the leadership team of the CCP Committee at its same organizational level.<ref>http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2009_2014/documents/droi/dv/506_yiyangxia_/506_yiyangxia_en.pdf</ref> |

| | + | It later changed its name to the Central Leading Group on Dealing with Heretical Religions or Office of Maintaining Stability. |

| | + | ===Genocide=== |
| | + | In September 2014, the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG0) investigated Bai Shuzhong, former Minister of Health for the [[People's Liberation Army]] (PLA) General Logistics Department. The investigation focused on the Chinese [[military]]’s involvement in the live organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners. During the investigation, Bai Shuzhong admitted that Jiang Zemin, former Chinese Communist Party Chief, had “instructed” the harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners’ organs for transplantation. Bai said in a telephone investigation, “Back then it was Chairman Jiang … there was an order, a sort of instruction, that said to carry out such things, organ transplantation. … Because back then after Chairman Jiang issued the order, we all did a lot of anti-Falun Gong work …” “….that is to say, it was not just the military who was doing kidney transplants ….” |
| | + | |
| | + | This investigation result directly points to Jiang Zemin, who ordered to harvest organs from Falun Gong practitioners. This is [[genocide]] implemented by Jiang Zemin and other high-ranking [[CCP]] officials. This is genocide carried out by the CCP controlled state apparatus. This genocide takes the form of live organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners. Under the secret protection of the CCP, Chinese judicial system, military, arm police forces, and local hospitals [[collude]]d in these [[crimes against humanity]] and crime of genocide.<ref>[http://www.upholdjustice.org/node/260 Jiang Zemin Ordered the Harvesting of Organs from Falun Gong Practitioners for Transplantation], WOIPFG, Sept. 30, 2014.</ref> |

| | + | ===Hu Jintao 2002-2012=== |
| | + | In November 2002, the 16th Communist Party Congress elected Hu Jintao, who in 1992 was designated by Deng Xiaoping as the "core" of the fourth-generation leaders, the new General Secretary. A new Politburo and Politburo Standing Committee were also elected in November. |
| | + | |
| | + | In March 2003, General Secretary Hu Jintao was elected President at the 10th National People's Congress. Jiang Zemin retained the chairmanship of the Central Military Commission. At the Fourth Party Plenum in September 2004, Jiang Zemin retired from the Central Military Commission, passing the Chairmanship and control of the People's Liberation Army to President Hu Jintao. |

| | + | ===SARS-CoVid-1=== |
| | + | :{{See also|SARS-CoVid-1}} |
| | + | Supposedly the 2003 SARS epidemic struck suddenly and there was no time to prepare. In reality, the first cases happened in Guangdong province in late November 2002. Chinese officials didn't inform the World Health Organization about SARS until February 2003. When it started to spread to other regions of China, the CCP covered that up. Eventually, SARS was reported to have killed just under eight hundred people in China, but in reality, there may have been several thousand more. |
| | + | |
| | + | Dr. Jiang Yanyong in April 2003 wrote a letter exposing the true number of SARS patients in Beijing, which was several times higher than the official number. His letter was publicized by Western media. The party was forced to respond. They fired several Beijing officials and |
| | + | put Dr. Jiang under [[surveillance]]. The Communist Party has never admitted there was a SARS cover-up. But afterward, the Chinese Communist Party did create what was supposed to be a fail-safe system to track contagions. It failed. |
| | + | |
| | + | The system put in place focused on having doctors across China put patient data into a centralized database. This way central authorities could monitor if there are any new outbreaks. It suppose to work in theory. In July 2019, eight thousand Chinese health officials conducted a massive online drill focusing on how to handle an infectious disease outbreak. In the style of the 2002 SARS outbreak, the officials raced to test how quickly and effectively they could track, identify, and contain the virus, including by notifying Beijing. It worked in the simulation. But in Th December 2019 Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, it did not work in reality because the Chinese Communist Party's political apparatus makes it impossible for even the best design system to function properly. |
