Jiang to relinquish last official position in March
Ex-president Jiang Zemin will relinquish his last remaining official post at the National People's Congress plenum scheduled to start on March 5, the NPC Standing Committee said yesterday.
The announcement comes amid renewed speculation over Mr Jiang's active role in state affairs since his retirement as party head, following his signing of the Provisions on the Advance Study of Equipment of the People's Liberation Army on Monday.
Mr Jiang's resignation from the chairmanship of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China has been much expected. Mr Jiang, 78, handed control of the Communist Party's Central Military Commission to President Hu Jintao in September.
