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
“The same Hu Jintao was escorted into the meeting few days ago and nothing reported” From tweet with a video
“Hu has been dealing with health issues for a while now, and this was pretty well known. He had to be helped INTO the congress the same way he was helped out. One time Xi even had to signal him to sit down in a session after standing up, so he’s clearing dealing with some cognitive challenges.” From r/Sino thread about it
Note: Personally I haven’t double-checked any of these or looked into it further, but here is what I have seen about it.
