Pretty chilling to see #HuJintao being removed from his prime seat next to #XiJinping at the People's Congress in #Beijing in public.

This not only means a drastic loss of face for the man who was leading #China in its most prosperous period from 2002 to 2012. It also signals a break with #CCP tradition and the dawning of a new era where party power is turned into the power of one person, the #newMao.

This will not end well, I'm afraid. These are regressive steps. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/22/former-chinese-president-hu-jintao-unexpectedly-led-out-of-party-congress
