Video shows moment when former Chinese president Hu Jintao unexpectedly leaves Saturday's closing ceremony of the Communist Party Congress. A staff member supports Hu by the arm as he stands up. He also speaks to President Xi Jinping for a moment and pats Premier Li Keqiang on the shoulder before being led out.
China is moving to a war footing. However, the move may be North, not West.
Shortly before Hu was removed, the foreign press was let into the auditorium, so Xi did this deliberately in front of foreign cameras so that the world could see it.
According to AFP...
Uh huh.
Yup. That was a political statement in the form of a strong-arm removal, yet AFP gaslights. “Supports” my ass.
This also signals the end of Chinese economic dominance. Healthy business and despotic regimes do not mix.
Apparently Xi would rather rule in hell.
any lip readers fluent in mandarin who can suggest what xi might have said as hu was led away behind him?
a world war is very likely coming. countries will have to prioritize other things now.
someone has a good guess on what he said as hu left, but i haven’ seen it transcibed.
“unexpectedly leaving”, LOL. He could have been told, don’t show up, instead, he was publicly humiliated, and other possible rivals intimidated.

>>A staff member supports Hu by the arm<<
Staff member? Lol Yea, right. More like a couple of members of the security force.
You’ll likely never see this old feller again.
“any lip readers fluent in mandarin who can suggest what xi might have said as hu was led away behind him?”
“See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya”?
I thought Saddam did it better, sitting back, smoking a cigar, while pointing out the people to be removed.
Xi consolidating power? Start of a purge?

Yes, my thought was, will we ever see him again? He acted like he was being escorted out to be shot.
Fortunately the us has already ramped production of HIMARS, missiles, artillery, munitions and drones.
The stone-faced, straight-forward looks of the others seated on that row says it all. They were completely ignoring what was being done to that old man as he was dragged by them.
Exactly. Xi was already reinstating controls on the economy before this. Now, he will “Go Full Dictator.”
Xi had the good grace to not crack a smile through the whole thing.
