Chinese state media reported for what reason the former leader of the country Hu Jintao prematurely left with the help of someone else the ceremony of the XX Congress of the CPC. The former general secretary of the Communist Party of China and ex-President of the People’s Republic of China left the People’s Assembly House in Beijing because he felt unwell, according to the Chinese state agency Xinhua. “He is much better now,” the agency notes.
An ambiguous video appeared online today: it might have seemed that 79-year-old Hu Jintao, who was sitting on Xi Jinping’s left hand, was forcibly taken out of the hall. Many viewers thought they had witnessed a dramatic political struggle and even assumed that Jintao had been arrested outside the meeting room. However, later it became clear that we are talking about an ordinary ailment of an elderly person. The Xinhua news Agency has now officially confirmed this version.
