There’s videos going around of Hu being removed from the summit as he’s talking with Xi. They claim it’s because he voiced objections to Xi taking a 3rd term or something? I generally support Xi and the direction the CPC has been going but idk much about Hu and what he did. My “China bad” deprogramming only started a few years ago and I haven’t really read much about the CPC before Xi yet.
I don’t trust anything the western media says for obvious reasons. I do however trust your all’s insight into these matters. I’m just bad at finding sources on this stuff that is outside of the western sphere of influence.
Edit: Fixed CCP ➡️ CPC
Yeah like, it wasn’t like he was violently dragged away or something. Just didn’t know if anyone had sources or if they stated why he left anywhere. I also don’t know what his relationship with Xi is like.
to be fair at this level people are seldom dragged away. Throughout history, losers of power struggles are usually allowed to retire, self-exile, or commit suicide on their own terms, giving them 体面. So not being dragged away does not necessarily mean that all is well; an escort could either be to protect you or contain you and outsiders could never tell the difference.
But if I had to take a guess, Hu enabled Xi’s ascension to power, and I think that Xi Jinping respects Hu Jintao. Of course I don’t know for certain that this is the case, but just what I would feel if I were in that position.
