    It’s the same with most countries in my view. Simply via circumstance and contemporary conditions some national leaders are more or less forgotten or ignored by history, especially histories which focus on pivotal events.

      I agree, not much was going on during Jiang and Hu era. Also since both Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao are alive still people might be more reluctant to discuss them.
