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
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.
