Mr Jiang has been rumoured to have been in ill health for years. On the most popular local Twitter-like microblogging site, Sina.com, searches were blocked for terms including ''301'', the name of the Beijing military hospital where China's top leaders are treated. Also blocked was Mr Jiang's name, which means ''river'' in Chinese, as well as ''brain death'' and ''brain dead''.8 _3 ]7 _" W6 A$ k& S9 B

But the explosive growth of the internet in China, with millions of microblogging sites, or ''weibo'', is challenging the Communist Party's monopoly on information. 7 l, M- k5 S1 m1 c' F; E
The blocking of the search terms suggested leaders were aware of the speculation and were determined to try to control the timing and manner of any announcement about Mr Jiang.

Mr Jiang, who took over as party secretary after the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989, was viewed as a free-market economic reformer who reduced the state's role in business, brought China into the World Trade Organisation and improved relations with the US.
