The meeting turned violent. They went at it hammer and sickle. Xi Jinping tried to calm them down. He put himself physically in the crossfire and unwittingly into the path of a chair as it was thrown across the room. It hit him in the back, injuring him. Hence the absence, and the silence, and the rumours.

This almost makes us grateful for the quiet dignity with which our representatives comport themselves. This sounds more like the Jerry Springer show or the WWE than any governmental body.

Of course, fifteen minutes later, everyone wanted to be hitting someone with a chair again.
