CHINA-LEADERSHIP: HU JINTAO LED OUT OF CONGRESS CONCLAVE ON OCTOBER 22
Former CCP CC General Secretary and China's President Hu Jintao was helped out of the 20th
Congress meeting on October 22. The video clip showed Hu Jintao appearing to have slumped
slightly and Zhao Leji trying to get up to help somehow, but Wang Huning restrains him
and Zhao Leji sits down. As attendants assist Hu Jintao and he stands up, Hu Jintao tells Xi
something and Xi nods. Senior CCP cadres seated in the front row appeared concerned as Hu
Jintao left.
(Comment: Hu Jintao suffered a heart attack during his tenure as TAR Party Secretary and later
a stroke. It appeared that Hu Jintao was unwell)
