Ex-Chinese President Hu Jintao forced from party congress, erased from internet as Xi Jin Ping solidifies power (Watch Video of His Removal)

Former Chinese President Hu Jintao was physically removed from the Community Party Congress Saturday and his name was scrubbed from the country’s Internet as his successor tightened his ironclad hold on power.

The frail Hu, 79, appeared to look confused as he was hauled from his seat by a steward who repeatedly tried to lift the older man from his seat, drawing concerned looks from officials seated nearby.

Hu, who was seated next to Chinese president Xi Jingping, then put his hand on a sheet of paper placed on a folder in front of the leader.

Xi quickly put his own hand on the paper.

China’s top legislator Li Zhanshu, seated to Hu’s right, gave the former president’s folder to a steward, wiping his own head with a cloth after Hu finally stood up.

Looking distressed, Hu appeared to resist leaving as the stewards escorted him out, turning back to his seat at one point. On his way out, he exchanged words with Xi and patted Premier Li Keqiang, seated to the right of Xi, on the shoulder.

There was no explanation for the exit of the frail leader, who retired in 2013. Hu was escorted away from the congress by officials about halfway through the day’s events at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Hu’s abrupt exit appeared to be censored on China’s social media platform, Weibo, with searches Saturday afternoon for his name returning posts published before the weekend, Bloomberg reported.

Xi is in the midst of consolidating the effort that is expected to land him an historic third five-year term, making him the most powerful leader since the country’s revolutionary hero Mao Zedong.

Hu’s removal was watched by the 2,000 congress attendees and captured on camera.

I can imagine Obama treating Joe Biden just like that. And after a baffled Biden was escorted from the auditorium, Obama would receive a 10 minute standing ovation from his drones.
I cannot see Joe Biden treating Obama that way. A Deplorable or J-6’er, but not his old boss.

[Alas Babylon!]

I think he likely got a bullet once he left Xi’s presence.

This happened a couple or so weeks after the supposed coup attempt in Beijing ? Were Hu loyalists behind it ? If indeed it was an attempted coup and Xi was able to crush it and regain full control, he must have waited for this moment to show the world who is boss.

RE: Hu must have committed some vague offense to The Party. An offense that provides no chance of redemption.

It has always been an opensecret that Hu ( 79 ) and Jiang Zhemin ( 96 ), both FORMER leaders of China, were part of the CCP faction OPPOSED to xi Jing Ping.



The incident has gone unmentioned in Chinese state media coverage of the event.

By Saturday evening, however, the comments section of almost all Weibo posts containing Hu's name were no longer visible, according to a Reuters review.

Well, here's the question: Does this look like the face of a man who 'wants' to leave for health reasons? ( as the CCP talking heads want the west to believe)

As a reminder, Hu Jin Tao advocated maintaining good relations with the U.S., and was also an opponent of a military solution to the Taiwan issue.

Under Hu's leadership, the China-Taiwan trade and cross channel tourist visits reached its apex. All that started to change as soon as Xi took over.

>Kinda like Trump, who became a non person to 80% of America after the coup.

Ridiculous. Some 20% are fanatic true-leftist haters, but a plurality of people detest Brandon. The Dems and MSM continue to this day with their daily 24-hours Hate of Trump, so that’s very the opposite of a non-person.

The offense was Hu’s continued existence. Which is something they may be remedying as we speak. The Chinese communist party is a gang writ large.

“The Chinese communist party is a gang writ large.”

What do they call criminal gangs there, Triads?

[TTFX]

why PUBLICLY do it in FULL CAMERA with the world watching

- - - - - - -

Because Xi is mentally ill.

He is not satisfied. No matter how much power he has, he will always feel like a failure because people don’t think he has great power.

The footage of Mr Hu being asked to leave the stage is drawing global attention as people try to work out what happened, says the BBC’s China correspondent, Stephen McDonell.

He adds that so far, there are a lot of questions and no answers from the Chinese government.

Chinese state news site Xinhua reported that Mr Hu had not been feeling well during the session. It said his staff then accompanied him from the session to rest, adding that he is “much better” now.

Earlier on Saturday, the Central Committee of 205 senior party officials was elected. Delegates rubber-stamped amendments to the party’s constitution endorsing Mr Xi’s ideas as guiding principles for China’s future.

The old gangs. The new gangs the call “party officials”.

Why not do it in public? He apparently still wanted to remain a player since he resisted leaving. The Chicoms said no we are done with this guy - get him out of here and we will do it in public so he is publicly humiliated and doesn’t come back.

We also don’t know what Hu said to Xi sitting next to him. Maybe he ticked him off.

Im sure it also was a demonstrative power play as well so any possible remaining followers get the message.

Take notice Biden.

Hu’s on first...

[libh8er]

There is no question this was meant to be a public humiliation of Hu. No explanation. No caption. No questions asked. The only thing given to the media was the optics.

Xi just bury Hu. Organs too old to harvest.
