‘Sinister’: Xi’s predecessor ‘escorted out’ of Party Congress session

Sky News host Rowan Dean says footage has emerged of the predecessor of China’s President Xi Jinping being “escorted out” of the closing session of the Communist Party Congress.

Former Chinese president Hu Jintao was seated next to Mr Xi during the event before he was ushered out of his seat by officials halfway through proceedings.

“And the goons come in and he is gone,” Mr Dean said.

Mr Dean discussed the issue with Sky News host Rita Panahi, who labelled the incident as “sinister”.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Everyone else sitting in the room looked straight ahead. No one watched him being led away. All know better than to notice.

That's the new way in the West as well, isn't it? Everything just wiped out if the "power" doesn't like you, or your views.

From what I’ve heard, Hu Jintao was the one trying to organise numbers against Xi. This is disturbing…

I heard Hu address Xi as "Xinnie the Flu" and then proceeded to drop his teabag in Xi's tea!!! The ultimate Chinese insult!

Does Xi Jinping not realize that his day will come? "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
