Was Hu Jintao’s removal a purge? New video hints at forced eviction of former Chinese President | International

A new video has emerged of former Chinese President Hu Jintao being escorted out from the Communist party meet. The video shows what happened moments before former Hu Jintao was escorted out by aides. Chairman of China’s legislature Li Zhanshu, who is a confidant of Chinese President Xi Jinping, is seen removing papers kept in front of Hu. Thereafter, another aide whispers something into Hu Jintao’s ears . However, Hu Jintao is in no mood to leave and refuses to get up. Xi Jinping initially refuses to intervene in the matter, but later is also seen whispering something to an aide. Thereafter, Hu Jintao is almost forcefully taken out of the meeting hall. Curiously enough, all this drama happened only after the media was allowed into the meeting venue.
