ChinaJiang Zemin.
   He makes no bones about wanting to become China's third "Red Emperor".
   To strengthen his grip on the state, the president launched a campaign
   to control the media and the Internet. A dozen journalists have been
   dismissed since early 2001 for tackling controversial subjects such as
   corruption. To make sure the message got through, in July 2001 the
   government reminded the country of the "Seven Prohibitions," especially
   one about "disrupting the work of the Party". As soon as China was
   awarded the Olympic Games, the president asked his security services to
   ensure a "healthy Internet". In less than two months, police arrested a
   dozen cyber-dissidents and closed more than 8,000 cyber-cafs. Described
   in his official biography as "modest and courteous," Jiang Zemin has
   never intervened in favour of journalist Wu Shishen, who was sentenced
   to life imprisonment in 1992. In fact the president personally urged a
   stiff sentence for him.
