Two senior news executives at Hong Kong's Asia Television, or ATV, have resigned over the wrongful report on the death of former Chinese regime leader Jiang Zemin on July 6th. ATV said on Tuesday it had accepted Senior Vice President of News and Public Affairs Leung Ka-wing's resignation, effective immediately. Leung's deputy also resigned.
ATV reported Jiang died after he was missing from events marking the 90th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party on July 1st. China's state-run Xinhua News Agency refuted the report as "pure rumor." Leung told ATV that he's taking responsibility for the report, because he could not stop it from being aired.
Jiang Zemin rose to power after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Jiang is infamous for several unpopular decisions, such as having signed away half a million square miles of Chinese land to Russia and for having started the persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual movement in 1999 that is still going on today.
