Jiang, whose term was to have run until 2007, resigned at a meeting of the ruling Communist Party's Central Committee that ended Sunday.

Hu, 61, replaced Jiang as party leader in late 2002 and as president early the next year. But the Jiang, who led China for 13 years, retained influence by holding onto his military post even as all his contemporaries retired in a long-- : planned handover of power to younger leaders. "This is a good, positive step because it finally completes the g systemic change," said Shaw, a China specialist at Oxford University's Oriel College. To have someone as chairman of the party and not control the guns is very awkward. This will definitely make things easier."
