How did China change under Jiang Zemin?

History

Answer:

Jiang Zemin was China's leader from 1990 to 2003. He rose to power in the wake of the 1989 Tiananmen Square killings, oversaw the handover of Hong Kong in 1997 and led his country until 2002, by which time it was one of the world's most powerful economies. He guided China into the World Trade Organization and allowed entrepreneurs into the party for the first time. Jiang handed over his leadership roles to Hu Jintao in 2002 and 2003.He remained an influential political figure almost a decade after stepping down.

Zemin was plucked from obscurity in 1989 to head the Communist Party after the bloody crackdown on democracy protests in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Jiang replaced Zhao Ziyang, who was toppled by hardliners for supporting the student movement at Tiananmen Square. According to the Washington Post" "Deng hoped a clearer succession plan would add stability to the system; he appointed Jiang as his immediate successor and elevated Hu Jintao (President of China from 2002 to 2012) so that he could later take Jiang's place. Jiang built his camp of allies — called the “Shanghai gang” — drawing from his old base as the city's party chief. He was known for a showman's flair that remains rare among the party's mostly wooden personalities. Jiang was so successful at consolidating power during his last days in office that at least five of the nine members of the Standing Committee were thought to be his strong allies. Jiang refused to give up his chairmanship of China's military until Hu and others forced him out two years into Hu's presidency. “The best way to describe Jiang's style is like a gangster," said one party intellectual with close ties to senior officials from Jiang's era. “He believed in an eye for an eye, but also in the flip side as well, returning favor for favor. That's how he accumulated so much influence." [Source: Washington Post, November 5, 2012]

The political leaders after Deng--Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongi--have been referred to as "third generation" leaders. The leaders that came after them--Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao--have been called the “forth generation” with Mao Zedong being the “first generation” leader and Deng Xiaoping being the ‘second generation."

Nearly all the Chinese who participated in the Long March and the Communist Revolution are gone. "Unlike Deng and the Elders who cut their political teeth on the battlefields fighting the Japanese or the Nationalists," wrote Steven Mufson in the Washington Post, "the next generation spent its formative years laboring within the apparatus of the Communist state as enterprise managers, central planners or party bureaucrats."

La historia de Portugal se remonta a alrededor de hace 400,000 años, cuando la región del actual Portugal estaba habitada por el Homo heidelbergensis. El fósil humano más antiguo es el cráneo descubierto en la Cueva de Aroeira en Almonda. Más tarde, los neandertales vagaron por el norte de la península ibérica. El homo sapiens llegó a Portugal hace unos 35,000 años.

Tribus pre-celtas como los lusitanos, Turduli y Oestriminis vivían en el centro y el norte. En el sur, los Cynetes vivieron en las regiones del Algarve y el Bajo Alentejo antes del siglo VI a. C., desarrollaron la ciudad de Tartessos y la lengua tartésica escrita, y dejaron muchas estelas en el sur del país. A principios del primer milenio antes de Cristo, oleadas de celtas de Europa Central invadieron y se casaron con las poblaciones locales para formar varios grupos étnicos y muchas tribus. Su presencia es rastreable, en líneas generales, a través de evidencia arqueológica y lingüística. Dominaron el área norte y central, mientras que el sur retuvo gran parte de su carácter tartésico, combinado con los celtas hasta la conquista romana. Algunos pequeños asentamientos comerciales semipermanentes fueron fundados por fenicios-cartagineses en la costa sur del Algarve.

En 1910, hubo una revolución que depuso a la monarquía. En medio de la corrupción, la represión de la iglesia y la casi bancarrota del estado, un golpe militar en 1926 instaló una dictadura que permaneció hasta otro golpe en 1974. El nuevo gobierno instituyó reformas democráticas radicales y otorgó la independencia a todas las colonias africanas de Portugal en 1975. Portugal es miembro fundador de la Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte (OTAN), la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE) y la Asociación Europea de Libre Comercio (AELC). Entró en la Comunidad Económica Europea (ahora la Unión Europea) en 1986.

The correct answer is European exploration of other continents

The development of commercial practice has brought about profound changes in the European economic scenario. The advance of trade established the strengthening of the bourgeoisie as an economic class. At the same time, the National States in formation realized that the development of commercial practices paved the financial support of the governments through the collection of taxes.

In this context, the development of monopolistic actions in other regions of the planet has become a fundamental point of commercial activity. In some cases, these National States were looking for ways to exclusively control thriving trade routes that linked the Western and Eastern world. In the 16th century, with the discovery of the American continent, the exploration of vast territories also included colonization in this economic context.

The development of colonization undertook a historic event that marked the definitive entry of Europeans into America. In this sense, with the arrival of European colonizers, forms of use and domination of territories were organized.
