Former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin
Former General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President of the PRC
I'd go w/just leader unless you have a lot of room for the full title(s).

Former Chinese President Jiang Zemin
No hairs are being split here: the PRC does indeed have a president, and president is rendered as 主席--or more correctly, 主席 in the case of the PRC is rendered as "president" in English.

: Great references, although I want to agree with Shannon as well...

I initially did, too, but the point is "leader" is ambiguous where 主席 is not. Ken's point is certainly valid, but as the Wiki article he too cites points out, since 1982 主席=president in this context, 大統領 notwithstanding.

前中国国家主席紅沢民(江沢民 is correct)
Former President (Chairman) of the People's Republic of China Jiang Zeming
Precisely, 主席 has to be translated into Chairman per the evidences. But, President is well accepted in post Mao-Zedong Era.
President's reverse translation is 大統領 in Japanese and 总统 in Simplified Chinese.
If you have a document which Presidency is repeatedly mentioned, it's a good idea that you can Chairman in brackets in the first translated phrase, then you will use only president afterward.
