In his eulogy, Xi said in reference to the Tiananmen Square protests that Jiang implemented the Communist Party's "correct decision on taking a clear stand against" the political turmoil as the top party official in Shanghai, and "effectively maintained the stability" of the city where similar protests had occurred.Xi called on the Communist Party members, the military and the people of all ethnic groups to "unite more closely" around the Party Central Committee and work together to comprehensively build a modern socialist country and promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.Tang Guozhen, a 58-year-old Yanzhou resident, said Jiang's death was unacceptable and thanked him for "making the lives of the general public happy."Following rare nationwide protests in late November against China's strict "zero-COVID" policy, Chinese authorities have tightened security amid the possibility that mourners congregating for Jiang could stage anti-government demonstrations.Related coverage:Ex-China leader Jiang Zemin, who fanned anti-Japan mood, dies at 96China signals easing of "zero-COVID" policy following protestsFOCUS: History testifies to Japan-China hardship to build friendship"
