New footage of former Chinese President Hu Jintao being taken out of the party convention surfaced, what was revealed?
Some new footage has emerged of the expulsion of former Chinese leader Hu Jintao from the Communist Party convention in Beijing last week.
In these it can be seen in detail that the members who are out of the Politburo take a file from Lee Janshu Jinto and do some things. While Chinese President Xi Jinping explains something in detail to another person, that person later asks Hu to leave.
This sudden act gave rise to many speculations. Many people said that by doing this, Jinping wanted to show that the era of Hu is now over. However, some others believe that it is possible that this was done due to Hu’s ill health.
Sarkar news agency Xinhua later tweeted that Zinta was taken out because he was not feeling well. However, this information was not given inside China. The use of Twitter is banned in China.
This incident is a day before the announcement of the third term of Jinping and his close associates. Due to its timing and the opacity of China, there is speculation around the world about it.
Many people say that it was a deliberate political drama. Hu was president from 2003 to 2013, under his leadership China seemed to be opening up to the outside world. But Jinping’s era is completely different. The new footage has been released by Singapore’s Channel News Asia.
This does not prove that Jintao was ill, but it appears that the documents placed before him were related to this incident.
In the footage, Li is seen standing up to help Jinshu Jintao, but then Wang Huning drags him back to the seat. After this Jintao says something to Jinping, which he ignores and Jintao is taken out. People sitting around don’t even look at this
Deng Yuwen, a former editor of the Communist Party’s newspaper Sunday Times, says that it cannot be that the party has put a document there that Jintao is not allowed to read. This is not possible in such an important meeting because everyone is in the eye of the camera.
He says, “It was strange. No one can understand it when there is no evidence related to what was in the file and what happened there.”
Wen-si Sung of the Australian National University says that everything is not clear from the new footage.
“Everything goes the right way in China, especially at such a high-profile event, and that too under Jinping’s regime where everything is about control,” she says.
