China’s Internet censors today (July 6) began blocking searches for several terms related to Jiang Zemin, the former leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
中國網路檢查今天（7月6日）開始封鎖搜尋有關前中共領導人江澤民的好幾個名詞。
It comes as Chinese websites, including the popular microblogging service Weibo, spread rumors that Jiang has died or is near death.
這是來自中國網站，包括很受歡迎的微博客服務，擴散江澤民已死或瀕臨死亡的謠言。
The 84-year-old was absent from last Friday’s celebrations of the CCP’s 90th anniversary, leading to speculation about the state of Jiang’s physical health.
84歲的老江從上週五缺席中共90週年慶，導致對江身體健康的猜測。
Jiang’s death or incapacitating illness would be significant for the CCP, including possibly in the 2012 leadership transition. Jiang heads one of several cliques within the secretive Party that is jockeying for power and position.
江的死或是重病對中共將是很重要的，包括可能在2012權力過渡。江是這個躲躲藏藏的黨內、好幾個圖謀權力地位的派系中的領導。
The CCP has made no comment about Jiang’s status.
中共關於江的狀態沒有任何評論。
False rumors claiming Jiang had died have been spread in the past.
在過去，宣稱江已死的假謠言，早已在散播。
