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

    he was probably escorted because it would be very silly for him to fall up the stairs like say Joe Biden getting on that airplane. the guy is old ffs. we can easily tell whether he was purged or not by seeing if he shows up in public again, although it seems very unlikely to me.

      Maybe he shit his pants and wanted to be discreet? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ old people stuff… he could have forgotten some medicine or something… why westoid media thinks that Hu would be suddenly purged after decades of involvement with the CPC, at the edge of retirement, is just them trying to portray Xi as some sort of fit-throwing child; as some sort of whimsical dictator; Ghaddafi. Western “journalists” are just social manipulators.

        Old age does not discriminate. If Biden can have his… “moments”, then unfortunately Hu Jintao very well could have his too. He might have been steps away from embarrassing himself on live television, but luckily some people still wanted to perserve his image as a good leader of China, and removed him from the meeting with haste.
