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
Jiang and Hu were good. They both carried on Deng’s plan of developing China’s economy and not standing up to the Americans until China was ready to stand up to them.
There was nothing flashy about their time leading the politburo but that was the whole point. They laid the foundations that are allowing Xi’s China to reach out to the world through the belt and road and literally pull the global south out from under America’s feet.
I’ll admit I’m biased because I carry a lot of guilt remembering the attitude with which I watched Jiang’s 60 minutes interview as a liberal-headed teenager. There was nothing Jiang could have said or done in that interview that would have kept me from thinking he was an evil bad guy just like I was supposed to. I had him so wrong back then and that interview is one of my go-to reminders not to trust anything that comes out of US Media. Ever.
