  • China’s former leader Hu Jintao was led out of the Communist Party congress in Beijing, shortly after reporters were allowed in.
    The unexpected moment led to intense speculation.
    Chinese state media reported that Hu Jintao "was not feeling well" during the session and was taken to a meeting room "for a rest".
    Some have questioned this explanation.

      Problem is Xi passed a new law which granted him almost absolute power. He is gonna be in power for a very long time just like Putin, almost until the end of his life. Very sad. The people of China desperately wanted a new leader who might be just like XI predecessor, someone more open minded. China has a such a good potential, it’s crazy how large part of the population lives in poverty.

      @mothratemporalradio517 Год назад

      @BOHICA sure, but it's also a pet move of paranoiac dictators and it's part of the very DNA of this regime, starting with Mao. There is, if you will, something uniquely Chinese about this, even among the trend for dictatorial purges. Just like there may be some similarities between the concepts of "saving face" and "guanxi" between Chinese and other cultures, nevertheless, they are pivotal concepts in that particular culture. Because saving face is even more important than, say, in a culture which is less insistent on such appearances, an act of deliberate humiliation speaks volumes. Yes, power relations have always existed among humans but Hu wasn't exactly clubbed over the head; he was treated as though he had no status and the public should be made aware that he was shown to be discarded as though his presence was beyond meaningless. This is fairly mild as far as The Purge goes, but it's very specific power play in a country that has its own power plays stretching back thousands of years to the Warring States period and Qin Shihuang. Not everyone would choose to display their contempt for a previous ruler in quite this way. Just saying.

    The most chilling fact is in the full video when Hu Jintao is about to get escorted out of his chair, to his left, Li Zhanshu wanted to help the old man as any normal human being would, Mr. Li got up halfway to try to help Hu Jintao get out of his chair, but to Mr. Li's left Wang Huning pulled on Mr. Li's jacket telling him to sit back down, don't draw anymore attention to yourself, all the while Present Xi Jinping is making a sour facial expression. Mr. Li awkwardly sat back down, gathered the documents infront of Hu Jintao and looked like he whispered "Don't look at it, Don't look at it", Mr. Wang also looked like he whispered the same words. As Hu Jintao gets escorted away, no one dared to make any eye contact or glanced his way. Hu Jintao advocated political reform, brought forth China's 10 years of golden period, forged a strong relationship with the West, and this is how his story ends.

    3:24 you cut off one of the most important sections of Hu Jintao's reaction to Xi and Li.
    1. Hu talks to Xi, and Xi nods his head saying "hao hao=yes, okay", that means there was a deal, and Xi pretends to agree; and then
    2. Hu taps on Li's shoulder in a concern and deep love, whatever you interpret into that direction. Hu supports Li, communist youth league.
    *There are 2 major groups of Chinese Communist Party:
    *One is like Xi whose father is the founder of the party who fought and founded PRC, thinks he owns the whole country. This group of the people are the 2nd generation and offspring of CCP founders who have the government official's jobs because of their relationship, not because of their talent. Mao's grandson is also in this scenario.
    *The other group of people are the ordinary citizens who have no strong background and were permitted to the party because of their talent.
    **One group, like Xi, think they are orthodoxy, have power with no talent to run the country, and the other group have ability, higher education, open-minded and humanity . Hu wants the balance to run the country, yet Xi wants everybody listening to his order. We all know it's The Emperor's New Clothes.

      has america forgotten her own constitution? the inalienable right for any sovereign nation to exist,regardless of their ideology,religion,affliation or
      this is the greatest victory and blow against the west and western ideology, China is proof that a dictatorship can rise from nothing and be incredibly successful too,why wouldnt it be?after all human history is littered with nothing but stories of the most powerful empires and dynasties.but the west and america wants to twist facts and history, they wanted to associate democracy with success and communists with failure.
      China is not the first dictatorship to achieve great success,something the western media hemisphere seems to conveniently ignore or look over, there were two other dictatorships that succeeded in the 20th century, one of them was Taiwan and the other was South Korea, both of them built their incredible economies under a military junta dictatorship. in fact four if u count Singapore, a psuedo democracy and the fourth one being none other than the third reich.

      The document has some hard evidence that indicates what Xi did was probably a coup, that might cause Hu might say something to the public. Xi thought Hu potentially could stop his coup (Hu may not have any thought of doing that). What Xi did was to order his guard (the mask guy) to prevent Hu potentially stop Xi's coup. Other people on the same row realized right away what was really going on. But all of them are scared of getting severely punished later on. Any actions including eye contacts at that time from anyone could be used as evidence later to against that person, the consequence could be as serious as a lifetime jail or even death sentence. Strictly speaking, disregard all previous actions by Xi behind the door, Xi's action of depriving Hu's right in this video alone is already a coup by itself.

    Ai Weiwei is on the right track. This most likely has to do with names on the list for the Politburo and Politburo Standing Committee. There are theories that Hu Jintao was upset over Hu Chunhua being completely removed, as he was rhe chosen successor for Xi by Hu Jintao as part of the deal to help Xi become General secretary in the first place, from Jiang.. Xi has now chosen Ding Xuexiang as that likely successor instead, and didn't want Hu Jintao being the only objection when the vote would come around, embarrassing him..

      In reality - and by looking at footage of Hu Jintao being escorted in - it is clear that he was frail, ill, and disoriented and his departure from the event was health-related.
