China’s former top leader, Hu Jintao, was unexpectedly led out of Saturday’s closing ceremony of the Communist Party Congress, in a moment of drama during what is typically a highly choreographed event.
Hu, 79, was seated in a prominent position at the front table in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, directly next to his successor, current leader Xi Jinping, when he was approached by a staff member, video of the meeting shows.
While seated, Hu appeared to talk briefly with the male staff member, while China’s third most senior leader, Li Zhanshu, who was seated to his other side, had his hand on the chair behind Hu’s back.
Hu then appeared to rise after being lifted up by the staff member, who’d taken the former leader by the arm, while Kong Shaoxun, head of the party’s secretariat came over. Hu spoke with the two men briefly and initially appeared reluctant to leave.

Taking bets he was opposed to an invasion of Taiwan.

He was the premier before the current one, he’s probably never going to be seen again and was a reminder on actually runs the country anyone thinking of challenging Xi got sent a message

I’d say he’s no longer among the living.

Not to be confused with Hu Yaobang. Memorable because of Dennis Miller's "I don't know. Who you bang?" comment.
That Hu wasn't at the party congress. He died 30 years ago. Say what you will about China, it isn't Chicago or Detroit.

He did not want to go quietly into th night....even the seated man to the left attempts to stand up to do something but the man directly beside him nudges his back to remain seated.
All about optics command and control....
