Ex-Secretary General of the Communist Party of China, former President of the People’s Republic of China Hu Jintao prematurely left the hall during the closing ceremony of the XX Congress of the CPC in the House of People’s Assemblies in Beijing. The politician was allegedly forcibly removed from the event.
A video appeared online showing two stewards in medical masks approaching Jintao. They lift the politician from his seat and escort him to the exit. Judging by Hu’s face, he is clearly confused about what happened. Interestingly, Jintao was sitting next to his successor Xi Jinping.
When the 79-year-old politician finally got up from his seat, he managed to say something to the current leader of the PRC. The recording shows how Xi Jinping nodded his head several times without looking at his predecessor, apparently answering his question.
The party has not commented on the scandalous incident. Meanwhile, it is known that Hu Jintao advocated strengthening relations with the United States and was opposed to a forceful solution to the Taiwan issue. At the same time, the Chinese Communist Party has already introduced a provision in the charter on countering Taiwan’s independence.
In addition, the liberal politician Wang Yi, who was predicted to be the premier of China, did not join the Central Committee of the party at all after the congress. Also, Premier of the State Council Li Keqiang did not join the CPC Central Committee.
