Mr Jiang (right) talked to his successor, Hu Jintao
China's ex-President Jiang Zemin has appeared in public for the first time since rumours spread that he was dead.
Mr Jiang, said to remain an influential political figure, appeared with other leaders to mark the 100th anniversary of the Chinese emperor's overthrow.
Aged 85, he looked frail, but was smiling as he chatted to his successor on the live TV broadcast.
State media issued a rare denial after a Hong Kong television station reported in July that Mr Jiang had died.
Mr Jiang led China in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 and handed over to the current president and party leader, Hu Jintao, in 2002.

Dude looks pretty good for 85. Hope I look half as good when I'm that age (if I get there. :P)

(Why, why, why couldn't I live in the reality in which Steve got to do it not once, but twice? It's the third day, and this Jiang dude gets to do it. Feh.)
