Jiang also means river and internet searches for that word have returned a warning the search is illegal.
Rumours that year-old Jiang Zemin was dead or dying resurfaced after he failed to appear at a key Communist Party event on Friday.

In an attempt to circumvent the censors, online users are posting entries with English variations and alternative names.
Though there have been no reports about Jiang Zemin on mainland China, media sources in Hong Kong reported his death on Wednesday
