Ai Weiwei comments on 'ruthless' exit of Hu Jintao from China party congress

'Nobody dared to show their face - it's like they're on the poker table', says Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei of the moment when former president Hu Jintao was forcibly led out of the Communist Party Congress on Saturday.

Speaking at a press conference in Tokyo, Ai claims Chinese officials wanted to prevent Hu from seeing details of Xi's inner circle, which were offcially annouced at the end of the Congress. ©AFP
