Lol so you're implying you have the same political stances as Hu Jintao, a dengist who strengthened the power of corporations in China? I wouldn't expect anyone in this comment thread to look into Chinese economic policy anyways.
@oldmanwitherspoon yes let's have another color revolution resulting in untold amounts of bloodshed so China can adopt an even more capitalist economy.. sounds good to me!
I was living in HK during President Hu’s tenure and I’ll say that he never forced HK into whatever it is right now. I always have respect for him. It’s quite a shock for me to see what has become of him. He looks like he aged 20 years in the past 5 years
It is both sickening and sad to see the direction China has been taking under Xi. There are other concerning authoritarian trends in the world, but Xi is now the scariest after watching russia’s slow collapse.
@@jamesrecknor6752 Yeah, he didnt have enough leverage back then. Now, with enough leverage...and stupidity of those uni students, HK govt could clamp down on those traitors, hard. Hilairous, really...
Problem is Xi passed a new law which granted him almost absolute power. He is gonna be in power for a very long time just like Putin, almost until the end of his life. Very sad. The people of China desperately wanted a new leader who might be just like XI predecessor, someone more open minded. China has a such a good potential, it’s crazy how large part of the population lives in poverty.
This is why, in authoritarian political systems, you can never afford to lose power. If you're not the one doing the purging, you're at risk of getting purged. Especially if you're a significant figure who does not have the present leader to thank for his career.
@BOHICA sure, but it's also a pet move of paranoiac dictators and it's part of the very DNA of this regime, starting with Mao. There is, if you will, something uniquely Chinese about this, even among the trend for dictatorial purges. Just like there may be some similarities between the concepts of "saving face" and "guanxi" between Chinese and other cultures, nevertheless, they are pivotal concepts in that particular culture. Because saving face is even more important than, say, in a culture which is less insistent on such appearances, an act of deliberate humiliation speaks volumes. Yes, power relations have always existed among humans but Hu wasn't exactly clubbed over the head; he was treated as though he had no status and the public should be made aware that he was shown to be discarded as though his presence was beyond meaningless. This is fairly mild as far as The Purge goes, but it's very specific power play in a country that has its own power plays stretching back thousands of years to the Warring States period and Qin Shihuang. Not everyone would choose to display their contempt for a previous ruler in quite this way. Just saying.
"He was not feeling well... Now, he is much better." Absolutely bonechilling. An obvious Orwellian euphemism to be interpreted either at face value or as a warning, depending on whose ears it's intended for.
One of the saddest moment of my life, as I grow up and went to college during the Hu era with so much hope and optimism toward this country's future. Bit by bit, it was shredded in the last ten years.
Wtf you taking about, China is about to 10x the GDP of the US in 5 or so years and they are systematically eliminating poverty. Like im no fan of china because I'm an anarchist but for y'all this is literally how u would define success for the Hu era.
There’s a Chinese parable about how the father and son carried the grandpa to remote mountain 🏔️ to desert him. When the father was going to throw away the carriage, the son said pls don’t I’ll save it for your turn. What goes around comes around 😂
@Jericho Kilmanja omg.. the joke flew right over your smooth brain lmao. Unlikely they’re a bot, but they’re joking about how an 80yr old man had to be reminded that he was not feeling well due to ‘bad memory’. They’re clearly mocking the Chinese gov. And saying it was staged.. how did you miss the joke 😂
@Jericho Kilmanja Basically saying everything in the Chinese gov. Is ‘staged’ as Hu ‘needed’ assistants to tell him he’s feeling unwell and that he needed to go, and that he forgot due to ‘bad memory’ If you still don’t get the joke.. just… ure kinda hopeless 😂
[redacted] [redacted], your sarcastic comment is very funny. By the way, as I am sure you already know, the correct grammar should be "an 80-yr-old man".
As a communist supporter, I must say you capitalist/democracy lovers always like to speculate. You always say things like "something bad is happening". Yeah, what's happening that's bad is western media being allowed to report on matters, when all western media is anti communist and anti socialist. Long live the communist party ☭

The point is that this was deliberate, it was done in front of everyone on camera, and it was a message. The empty chair was a message. The entire conference staring straight ahead was a message. Nobody turned to ask what was happening to ask about his welfare or turn and smile and nod politely to him with a kind word? Nope. This was a message. There are other ways to remove someone from their position. This was a deliberate public humiliation to communicate total control.

It's publicly a embarrasing moment for Xi as well to have not having things run smoothly in such events. I don't think he would plan something like that.
The most chilling fact is in the full video when Hu Jintao is about to get escorted out of his chair, to his left, Li Zhanshu wanted to help the old man as any normal human being would, Mr. Li got up halfway to try to help Hu Jintao get out of his chair, but to Mr. Li's left Wang Huning pulled on Mr. Li's jacket telling him to sit back down, don't draw anymore attention to yourself, all the while Present Xi Jinping is making a sour facial expression. Mr. Li awkwardly sat back down, gathered the documents infront of Hu Jintao and looked like he whispered "Don't look at it, Don't look at it", Mr. Wang also looked like he whispered the same words. As Hu Jintao gets escorted away, no one dared to make any eye contact or glanced his way. Hu Jintao advocated political reform, brought forth China's 10 years of golden period, forged a strong relationship with the West, and this is how his story ends.
I always felt bad for Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao. Their like HEROES for the western world. They brought forth a powerful and prosperous China, that actually felt like a dependable ally with the west. Even though a lot of Americans hated the lack of manufacturing jobs, people liked China regardless. XiJinping really just took over and told these others to fuck off. Now XiJinping is warmongering with the west and has seen the worst economic period in recent Chinese history. Its genuinely sad.

Reminds me when Saddam Hussein had a large party meeting (there’s a video online in black and white) and told the crowd there were traitors among them- called them out, had them led out, and as they were pledging alliance to Saddam (mostly to save themselves), they were escorted outside to be shot. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
3:24 you cut off one of the most important sections of Hu Jintao's reaction to Xi and Li. 1. Hu talks to Xi, and Xi nods his head saying "hao hao=yes, okay", that means there was a deal, and Xi pretends to agree; and then 2. Hu taps on Li's shoulder in a concern and deep love, whatever you interpret into that direction. Hu supports Li, communist youth league. *There are 2 major groups of Chinese Communist Party: *One is like Xi whose father is the founder of the party who fought and founded PRC, thinks he owns the whole country. This group of the people are the 2nd generation and offspring of CCP founders who have the government official's jobs because of their relationship, not because of their talent. Mao's grandson is also in this scenario. *The other group of people are the ordinary citizens who have no strong background and were permitted to the party because of their talent. **One group, like Xi, think they are orthodoxy, have power with no talent to run the country, and the other group have ability, higher education, open-minded and humanity . Hu wants the balance to run the country, yet Xi wants everybody listening to his order. We all know it's The Emperor's New Clothes. Like Putin, surrounds with no truth voice and makes wrong judgement and decision, very dangerous.
You forget Toad and his gang. Xi was supposed to be on the side of the Communist Youth League. He pretended to play along to get Hu’s support. Now, there are 3 factions in CCP. Toad’s, Xi’s and Hu’s. But I think Hu’s gang is being eliminated.
The open minded faction you are talking about are the more liberal minded elements of the CCP, who also have strong inclinations towards the US. Xi is purging the ranks of the pro US elements and establishing a goverment for a ramp up in the confrontation with America. Xi represents the more nationalistic elements of the CCP who are wanting to step up their game in the international arena beginning with Taiwan. The US has never seen anything as what is starting to come its way.
this just shows that China is now the most powerful monarchy in the world with capitalistic and chinese traits.....why is the west so plainly jealous and upset?i dont get it......China never claimed to be a democracy,it has never been, that democratic China died along with Chang kai shek and Taiwan, if US and the west insist on recognising Taiwan as a soverignty,then it must acknowledge dictatorship China and her right to exist too. has america forgotten her own constitution? the inalienable right for any sovereign nation to exist,regardless of their ideology,religion,affliation or this is the greatest victory and blow against the west and western ideology, China is proof that a dictatorship can rise from nothing and be incredibly successful too,why wouldnt it be?after all human history is littered with nothing but stories of the most powerful empires and dynasties.but the west and america wants to twist facts and history, they wanted to associate democracy with success and communists with failure. China is not the first dictatorship to achieve great success,something the western media hemisphere seems to conveniently ignore or look over, there were two other dictatorships that succeeded in the 20th century, one of them was Taiwan and the other was South Korea, both of them built their incredible economies under a military junta dictatorship. in fact four if u count Singapore, a psuedo democracy and the fourth one being none other than the third reich. once i was afraid of China for the longest time just like the west, but now iv learnt to stop worrying and embrace our Chynese overlords....

The folder contained the candidate list for new officials. Hu was given a list with different names from everyone else's which is why he kept reaching for someone else's list to confirm and is also why he looked confused throughout the whole video.
Is it possible he's just old so that's why he had to be escorted in, and escorted out to take a rest and then later came back. And perhaps that might also be the reason he looks dazed the whole time.
Oh for gods sake it's obviously so pathetically orchestrated. This was basically a press release shouting "China is weak and corrupt, and here is an example".
Well western media was the one who shot the footage, they could NOT have controlled what they did with it. At least not fast enough to prevent it from going viral. I don't think this is a factor, more like they planned for it to happen.

The document has some hard evidence that indicates what Xi did was probably a coup, that might cause Hu might say something to the public. Xi thought Hu potentially could stop his coup (Hu may not have any thought of doing that). What Xi did was to order his guard (the mask guy) to prevent Hu potentially stop Xi's coup. Other people on the same row realized right away what was really going on. But all of them are scared of getting severely punished later on. Any actions including eye contacts at that time from anyone could be used as evidence later to against that person, the consequence could be as serious as a lifetime jail or even death sentence. Strictly speaking, disregard all previous actions by Xi behind the door, Xi's action of depriving Hu's right in this video alone is already a coup by itself.
He wouldn't have been there to begin with if he was so sick. The fact that none even looked up at him when he was being escorted out proves nothing was wrong with him. They knew what was going on ahead of time.
They won't kill Hu, just make him die in obscurity. This humiliation was already enough to ensure his faction will lie down and let Xi do whatever he wants.
Begs for his life lol. He’s 97 and held in high esteem. He was brought back and Xi was able to continue after waiting for him to feel better. Sounds like respect to me. Also, Winnie the Pooh, an inept and harmless yellow cartoon character with narrow eyes is a pretty obvious racist propaganda tool. No different than the caricatures that have been used for hundreds of years to breed hatred.
When an unsubstantiated and conspicuous comment gets more likes than a detailed and objective comment What a society we live in, a literal repeat of the pre-ww1 era Before you say it, I'm in no way a bot you walking abortion advertisement
There is a saying in Chinese called "kill the chicken to warn the monkey (殺雞儆猴)", which means punish one person as a warning to others. Hu is generally considered as a "dove" in China, (especially on the Taiwan issue) , so now you should know the Xi's message to the world.
Thanks thats interesting. If the message is "going to be tougher on taiwan issue" well good luck with that. Didn't fear him before and never will. In modern warfare it's near to impossible to invade another country and win. Ukraine had fairly small amount of time to prepare for Russia. Taiwan on the other hand has been preparing for years.
Which is something that went missing in bbc's reporting of this event. Also, Xi announced within the same meeting that it is necessary to build up the military faster and to speed up Taiwan reunification. The picture is developing into what some see as obvious at this point. Surprised bbc is still lost........
@@the42nd that's just not correct .. we already saw Russia annex Crimea .. and legitimate military intimidation towards Taiwan has gone on for decades.
How do things amount to this? Ruling by fear and intimidation, to the point of publicly ousting a previous leader and everyone else is stoic and unmoved? I am grateful to live somewhere where politics is not like this. Leadership should not be afforded this kind of power, should not be able to oppress and silence opposition in this way. And leaders should have term limits - it feels like cementing power over a long time is synonymous with corruption and dictatorship.

"People can't think for themselves because of fake news" This US marine break it down for us here. China: What Happened to Hu Jintao?, Just as the Western media spread lies about China before the Communist Party of China's (CPC) Congress including fabrications about a "coup" that never took place - the Western media is now lying about what happened during the Congress itself - including stories of former Chinese President Hu Jintao being "dragged" out of the event. In reality - and by looking at footage of Hu Jintao being escorted in - it is clear that he was frail, ill, and disoriented and his departure from the event was health-related. Source The New Atlas
Hu Jintao's body language and verbal message to Xi Jinping before he was escorted clearly says "You may be a total dictator of China 🇨🇳 but you cannot do anything you like."
Everybody are experts and all we can do is guess. The facts is more worrying than a senile man is escorted out from the Congress. I hope the same could happen with Biden! The facts: Hu never returned as CCP claimed. The military generals got top positions. The theory: Xi prepares for Taiwan takeover.
Those envelops had a list of names on it, most likely the names of people who will be appointed. I believe the list Hu had was different than the others, so he gets tricked into saying yes on the group vote.
This is laughable, that list was decided weeks prior to the Congress, so everybody knew including his "faction". Stop consuming propaganda uncritically, that rots your brain.
They didn't show Hu being helped into the conference or being asked to sit down when he was just standing there looking confused. See what a bit of editing can do to make it look worse than it really is. And Xi is pronounced She
4:20 Interesting how Xi sits in a chair apparently equal to the others, but by the "accident" of the stairs behind him it suddenly becomes framed like a throne.

Ai Weiwei is on the right track. This most likely has to do with names on the list for the Politburo and Politburo Standing Committee. There are theories that Hu Jintao was upset over Hu Chunhua being completely removed, as he was rhe chosen successor for Xi by Hu Jintao as part of the deal to help Xi become General secretary in the first place, from Jiang.. Xi has now chosen Ding Xuexiang as that likely successor instead, and didn't want Hu Jintao being the only objection when the vote would come around, embarrassing him.. One of the CZcamsrs that give the best analysis is named Lei's Real Talk. A good video to look up.

While it's not impossible that Hu had some health issue, the fact that this wasn't done until after reporters were in the room puts a damper on any apolitical motivation.
Other members of the assembly would have shown concern if it was a health issue but they just sat there stunned and wondering which of them would be next to have a "health issue".

It seems pretty obvious that Xi Jinping made some sort of agreement with Hu Jintao. He probably wanted Hu's vote of support for his unprecedented 3rd term. If the folder contained the names of Xi's new inner circle, then it would seem plausible that Xi promised to keep some members of Hu's faction in positions of power but reneged on the deal. He then gave Hu the boot as soon as voting was finished. But it's unclear what happened after Hu Jintao was escorted out. I have a feeling he has been locked up for some made up corruption charges or some other nonsense. Hu Jintao was a reformer and a moderate when compared to the other post WW2 leader China has had over the years. China became a bit more free under his leadership, not to mention more economically successful. Xi Jinping is an authoritarian through and through. He began his crackdown almost immediately after taking office. He has little concern for the economic well-being of Chinese citizens, as long as the government maintains complete control under his rule.
XI was visiting the USA when in fact smirking like a joke... he Said.. to the International Press ..Qoute ... " I'll be their God " .... I will never forget it...
Hu is far too beloved to be locked up. No one would believe he's corrupt. I feel like he'd just fade away -- though I enjoyed living in China under his leadership, he was indeed as moderate as it gets and didn't make the most memorable mark. Also, I like your taste in Kpop.

Each of them mysteriously disappeared for months and then reappeared, having apparently confessed to some criminal activity or corruption. So who knows what might happen to Mr Hu? And yeah, my tastes in Kpop are varied. Itzy, Aespa and a few others are also in my playlist.

Yeah I think they all forget some day they will have to day...
It'll be awesome
Xi time will come he won't be missed
People like him would think that his time will never come. They all do.
Problem is Xi passed a new law which granted him almost absolute power. He is gonna be in power for a very long time just like Putin, almost until the end of his life. Very sad. The people of China desperately wanted a new leader who might be just like XI predecessor, someone more open minded. China has a such a good potential, it’s crazy how large part of the population lives in poverty.
This is why, in authoritarian political systems, you can never afford to lose power.
If you're not the one doing the purging, you're at risk of getting purged. Especially if you're a significant figure who does not have the present leader to thank for his career.
Because Hu still has support within the party.
This is simply a 'warning' to them.
Or they will be next to start feeling 'not well'.
@BOHICA sure, but it's also a pet move of paranoiac dictators and it's part of the very DNA of this regime, starting with Mao. There is, if you will, something uniquely Chinese about this, even among the trend for dictatorial purges. Just like there may be some similarities between the concepts of "saving face" and "guanxi" between Chinese and other cultures, nevertheless, they are pivotal concepts in that particular culture. Because saving face is even more important than, say, in a culture which is less insistent on such appearances, an act of deliberate humiliation speaks volumes. Yes, power relations have always existed among humans but Hu wasn't exactly clubbed over the head; he was treated as though he had no status and the public should be made aware that he was shown to be discarded as though his presence was beyond meaningless. This is fairly mild as far as The Purge goes, but it's very specific power play in a country that has its own power plays stretching back thousands of years to the Warring States period and Qin Shihuang. Not everyone would choose to display their contempt for a previous ruler in quite this way. Just saying.
Another Chinaphobia spotted!!!
"Authoritarian" maybe still a marginally applicable term up till 3 years ago. It's been "Totalitarian" for quite a while now.

"He was not feeling well... Now, he is much better."
Absolutely bonechilling. An obvious Orwellian euphemism to be interpreted either at face value or as a warning, depending on whose ears it's intended for.

The most chilling fact is in the full video when Hu Jintao is about to get escorted out of his chair, to his left, Li Zhanshu wanted to help the old man as any normal human being would, Mr. Li got up halfway to try to help Hu Jintao get out of his chair, but to Mr. Li's left Wang Huning pulled on Mr. Li's jacket telling him to sit back down, don't draw anymore attention to yourself, all the while Present Xi Jinping is making a sour facial expression. Mr. Li awkwardly sat back down, gathered the documents infront of Hu Jintao and looked like he whispered "Don't look at it, Don't look at it", Mr. Wang also looked like he whispered the same words. As Hu Jintao gets escorted away, no one dared to make any eye contact or glanced his way. Hu Jintao advocated political reform, brought forth China's 10 years of golden period, forged a strong relationship with the West, and this is how his story ends.
I was excited to be part of a world with Hu in power of china, but not with Xi
I always felt bad for Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao. Their like HEROES for the western world.
They brought forth a powerful and prosperous China, that actually felt like a dependable ally with the west.
Even though a lot of Americans hated the lack of manufacturing jobs, people liked China regardless.
XiJinping really just took over and told these others to fuck off.

@gjaegreag Congratulations! Looks you made 50 cents x 3 in these comments! Glory to the Leader!
3:24 you cut off one of the most important sections of Hu Jintao's reaction to Xi and Li.
1. Hu talks to Xi, and Xi nods his head saying "hao hao=yes, okay", that means there was a deal, and Xi pretends to agree; and then
2. Hu taps on Li's shoulder in a concern and deep love, whatever you interpret into that direction. Hu supports Li, communist youth league.
*There are 2 major groups of Chinese Communist Party:
*One is like Xi whose father is the founder of the party who fought and founded PRC, thinks he owns the whole country. This group of the people are the 2nd generation and offspring of CCP founders who have the government official's jobs because of their relationship, not because of their talent. Mao's grandson is also in this scenario.
*The other group of people are the ordinary citizens who have no strong background and were permitted to the party because of their talent.
**One group, like Xi, think they are orthodoxy, have power with no talent to run the country, and the other group have ability, higher education, open-minded and humanity . Hu wants the balance to run the country, yet Xi wants everybody listening to his order. We all know it's The Emperor's New Clothes. Like Putin, surrounds with no truth voice and makes wrong judgement and decision, very dangerous.
But still comunism is bad for the country
You forget Toad and his gang. Xi was supposed to be on the side of the Communist Youth League. He pretended to play along to get Hu’s support. Now, there are 3 factions in CCP. Toad’s, Xi’s and Hu’s. But I think Hu’s gang is being eliminated.
The open minded faction you are talking about are the more liberal minded elements of the CCP, who also have strong inclinations towards the US. Xi is purging the ranks of the pro US elements and establishing a goverment for a ramp up in the confrontation with America. Xi represents the more nationalistic elements of the CCP who are wanting to step up their game in the international arena beginning with Taiwan. The US has never seen anything as what is starting to come its way.
this just shows that China is now the most powerful monarchy in the world with capitalistic and chinese traits.....why is the west so plainly jealous and upset?i dont get it......China never claimed to be a democracy,it has never been, that democratic China died along with Chang kai shek and Taiwan, if US and the west insist on recognising Taiwan as a soverignty,then it must acknowledge dictatorship China and her right to exist too.
has america forgotten her own constitution? the inalienable right for any sovereign nation to exist,regardless of their ideology,religion,affliation or
this is the greatest victory and blow against the west and western ideology, China is proof that a dictatorship can rise from nothing and be incredibly successful too,why wouldnt it be?after all human history is littered with nothing but stories of the most powerful empires and dynasties.but the west and america wants to twist facts and history, they wanted to associate democracy with success and communists with failure.
China is not the first dictatorship to achieve great success,something the western media hemisphere seems to conveniently ignore or look over, there were two other dictatorships that succeeded in the 20th century, one of them was Taiwan and the other was South Korea, both of them built their incredible economies under a military junta dictatorship. in fact four if u count Singapore, a psuedo democracy and the fourth one being none other than the third reich.

The document has some hard evidence that indicates what Xi did was probably a coup, that might cause Hu might say something to the public. Xi thought Hu potentially could stop his coup (Hu may not have any thought of doing that). What Xi did was to order his guard (the mask guy) to prevent Hu potentially stop Xi's coup. Other people on the same row realized right away what was really going on. But all of them are scared of getting severely punished later on. Any actions including eye contacts at that time from anyone could be used as evidence later to against that person, the consequence could be as serious as a lifetime jail or even death sentence. Strictly speaking, disregard all previous actions by Xi behind the door, Xi's action of depriving Hu's right in this video alone is already a coup by itself.

In modern warfare it's near to impossible to invade another country and win. Ukraine had fairly small amount of time to prepare for Russia. Taiwan on the other hand has been preparing for years.
@@the42nd do you get your news from MSNBC, Ukraine has been preparing since 2014. Trump loaded them with American artilleries a few years ago.
Which is something that went missing in bbc's reporting of this event. Also, Xi announced within the same meeting that it is necessary to build up the military faster and to speed up Taiwan reunification. The picture is developing into what some see as obvious at this point. Surprised bbc is still lost........
@@the42nd that's just not correct .. we already saw Russia annex Crimea .. and legitimate military intimidation towards Taiwan has gone on for decades.
the message is hes desperate to keep people in line and has resorted to terror against his own people
How do things amount to this? Ruling by fear and intimidation, to the point of publicly ousting a previous leader and everyone else is stoic and unmoved? I am grateful to live somewhere where politics is not like this. Leadership should not be afforded this kind of power, should not be able to oppress and silence opposition in this way. And leaders should have term limits - it feels like cementing power over a long time is synonymous with corruption and dictatorship.

Hmm, perhaps he hasn't really thought about Taiwan and America's guarantee of intervening if China gets too adventurous in that region.
Not ready for competition? lol tell you know jack shxt about China's politics without telling you know jack shxt about it.
There is always one opponent none of us can beat. Death. But Xi looks healthy if a little plump.

China: What Happened to Hu Jintao?, Just as the Western media spread lies about China before the Communist Party of China's (CPC) Congress including fabrications about a "coup" that never took place - the Western media is now lying about what happened during the Congress itself - including stories of former Chinese President Hu Jintao being "dragged" out of the event.
In reality - and by looking at footage of Hu Jintao being escorted in - it is clear that he was frail, ill, and disoriented and his departure from the event was health-related.

4:29 of nothing but speculation. If you have nothing substantial to say as the media, perhaps better to say nothing
Hu Jintao's body language and verbal message to Xi Jinping before he was escorted clearly says "You may be a total dictator of China 🇨🇳 but you cannot do anything you like."
There are a lot of Soviet and coronavirus keyboard warriors here😂
Xi with that purely evil look on his face
Clickbait title, they have no idea.
Everybody are experts and all we can do is guess.
The facts is more worrying than a senile man is escorted out from the Congress. I hope the same could happen with Biden!
The facts: Hu never returned as CCP claimed. The military generals got top positions.
The theory: Xi prepares for Taiwan takeover.
Most of mainstream Western society have no idea, when thye constanly on this brain rot. US-UK wastes the most on media propaganda.
Those envelops had a list of names on it, most likely the names of people who will be appointed. I believe the list Hu had was different than the others, so he gets tricked into saying yes on the group vote.
This is laughable, that list was decided weeks prior to the Congress, so everybody knew including his "faction". Stop consuming propaganda uncritically, that rots your brain.

Yeah, RIP ig. I hope it is the way CCP claims it is. Hu might be incredibly repressive, but he is much better and has better goals as compared Xi Winnie the Pooh Jinping
@@inthefogs He exists, or maybe existed (past tense) by this point. That's probably what he did wrong according to Xi.
It was just a presentation of power. He probably can't be stopped by anyone now.
Or he was just not feeling well. Some people at his age start to lose their mind. Not the first time he needed help.
The document has some hard evidence that indicates what Xi did was probably a coup, that might cause Hu might say something to the public. Xi thought Hu potentially could stop his coup (Hu may not have any thought of doing that). What Xi did was to order his guard (the mask guy) to prevent Hu potentially stop Xi's coup. Other people on the same row realized right away what was really going on. But all of them are scared of getting severely punished later on. Any actions including eye contacts at that time from anyone could be used as evidence later to against that person, the consequence could be as serious as a lifetime jail or even death sentence. Strictly speaking, disregard all previous actions by Xi behind the door, Xi's action of depriving Hu's right in this video alone is already a coup by itself.

Ai Weiwei is on the right track. This most likely has to do with names on the list for the Politburo and Politburo Standing Committee. There are theories that Hu Jintao was upset over Hu Chunhua being completely removed, as he was rhe chosen successor for Xi by Hu Jintao as part of the deal to help Xi become General secretary in the first place, from Jiang.. Xi has now chosen Ding Xuexiang as that likely successor instead, and didn't want Hu Jintao being the only objection when the vote would come around, embarrassing him.. One of the CZcamsrs that give the best analysis is named Lei's Real Talk. A good video to look up.

With respect the way you basically just wrote "here's the link to the video" and then just linked to it made me immediately think you were a spambot, downvote you and report you for spam. (However I removed the downvote and upvoted you since.)
Also the fact your link was the first response to another commenter with no additional details made it come across exactly like a spam bot comment.
I know that was completely unintentionally on your part and you're just genuinely trying to help inform people about the world but it unintentionally came across EXACTLY like how a spam bot posts links to other youtube videos.
I only clicked on your link and discovered it was the actual video by Lei because I was thinking "if I downvote the video then I can help make sure the person who created the spam bot loses money over time, since then their video could get less views by showing up less in peoples home feed in the CZcams algorithm."
I did not think for one second that the video was legitimate until I clicked on it intending to downvote what I thought would be a video advocating a scam or something.
Stop buying Chinese goods before they own everything. Spend a few dollars more.
While it's not impossible that Hu had some health issue, the fact that this wasn't done until after reporters were in the room puts a damper on any apolitical motivation.
Other members of the assembly would have shown concern if it was a health issue but they just sat there stunned and wondering which of them would be next to have a "health issue".
Rare to watch someone get disappeared on live tv.

If Hu Jintao was unwell, then wasn't Xi Jinping just oozing concern over an ill colleague.
Xi was worried because Hu looked too weak to raise his hand for the yes vote :)
he jumped out of a building because not feeling well.
@@basillah7650 Yes, that is quite catching at the moment.

I always remembered Hu Jintao with jet black (probably dyed) hair and glasses. He looked different here - didn't recognize him at first. Of course, it is 10 years since he was President.
He's unwell, clearly

I watched The China Show take on this and they mention the fact that the message about “his health” was for the outside world, in Chinese Internet (only Internet Chinese people have access to) there was no mention of this fact.

Hello Merry

It seems pretty obvious that Xi Jinping made some sort of agreement with Hu Jintao. He probably wanted Hu's vote of support for his unprecedented 3rd term. If the folder contained the names of Xi's new inner circle, then it would seem plausible that Xi promised to keep some members of Hu's faction in positions of power but reneged on the deal. He then gave Hu the boot as soon as voting was finished.
But it's unclear what happened after Hu Jintao was escorted out. I have a feeling he has been locked up for some made up corruption charges or some other nonsense. Hu Jintao was a reformer and a moderate when compared to the other post WW2 leader China has had over the years. China became a bit more free under his leadership, not to mention more economically successful. Xi Jinping is an authoritarian through and through. He began his crackdown almost immediately after taking office. He has little concern for the economic well-being of Chinese citizens, as long as the government maintains complete control under his rule.
XI was visiting the USA when in fact smirking like a joke... he Said.. to the International Press ..Qoute ... " I'll be their God " .... I will never forget it...
Hu is far too beloved to be locked up. No one would believe he's corrupt. I feel like he'd just fade away -- though I enjoyed living in China under his leadership, he was indeed as moderate as it gets and didn't make the most memorable mark.
Also, I like your taste in Kpop.
@@bdstudios6088 I'd be inclined to agree with you. But this follows a pattern we've seen in recent years, which includes prominent Chinese celebrities, such as Fan Bingbing, billionaire Jack Ma, even the first Chinese national to be chosen as head of Interpol, Meng Hongwei. Each of them mysteriously disappeared for months and then reappeared, having apparently confessed to some criminal activity or corruption. So who knows what might happen to Mr Hu?
And yeah, my tastes in Kpop are varied. Itzy, Aespa and a few others are also in my playlist.
so guys, when making agreements with the CCP ......
Because escorting him out looks better than dragging him out ?
So basically ...you still don't know.
Scary. Total control in that room. If you needed to sneeze, you'd do you hardest not to.
