Les observateurs avaient été surpris dimanche dernier, à l'ouverture du congrès. À l'heure qu'il est, il est délicat d'expliquer les raisons de cette "exfiltration", un événement inhabituel qui n'a pas encore été expliqué ni évoqué par les médias d'État chinois. Sur les images, on constate que l'ancien chef d'État se montre au premier abord réticent, et qu'il semble argumenter avant d'être pris par le bras et conduit vers la sortie. Hu Jintao, désormais âgé de 79 ans, est apparu affaibli. L'ancien président Hu Jintao, au pouvoir entre 2003 et 2013, a été conduit vers la sortie par des officiels, sous les yeux d'une salle comble et des caméras qui filmaient l'événement.

Le 20^e congrès du Parti communiste chinois (PCC) s'est achevé samedi 22 octobre. Il a désigné un comité central d'environ 200 personnes.

La règle – qui ne s’applique pas à Xi Jinping – veut que les dirigeants partent à la retraite à 68 ans. Par ailleurs, la cérémonie de clôture a été marquée par un incident inattendu. Samedi, le congrès a d’ailleurs adopté à l’unanimité une modification des statuts du Parti, obligeant tous les membres à « défendre la position centrale de Xi Jinping sur le comité central et dans le Parti comme un tout ». Toute opposition à Xi Jinping enfreint donc les statuts du Parti. Celui du premier ministre Li Keqiang (67 ans), du président de l’Assemblée nationale populaire Li Zhanshu (72 ans), du président de la conférence consultative du peuple chinois, Wang Yang (67 ans) et du vice-premier ministre Han Zheng (68 ans). Il a désigné un comité central d’environ 200 personnes.

Lors de la cérémonie de clôture du congrès du PCC, l'ancien président chinois, assis à côté de Xi Jinping, a été poussé contre son gré vers la sortie.

Le leader de 69 ans, qui doit être reconduit dimanche pour un troisième mandat à la tête du parti et du pays, avait déjà fait supprimer de la Constitution en 2018 la limite de deux mandats, ouvrant la voie vers une potentielle présidence à vie. Cet organe tout-puissant de sept membres actuellement détient la réalité du pouvoir en Chine. « Osez vous battre pour la victoire », a-t-il lancé triomphalement à la fin de la cérémonie au Palais du peuple. Au moment de se lever, Hu Jintao a un bref échange avec Xi Jinping, qui lui répond sans le regarder, et le Premier ministre Li Keqiang, à qui il donne une tape amicale à l'épaule. L'incident, qui s'est déroulé sous les yeux de la presse, invitée peu avant à venir couvrir la fin de la cérémonie, n'a pas été expliqué ni rapporté par les médias d'Etat, et toute référence récente à son nom semblait avoir été censurée sur l'internet chinois. Une scène inhabituelle a perturbé la cérémonie de clôture du congrès du Parti communiste chinois, samedi.

Why was Hu Jintao asked to leave the stage at the end of China's Communist Party congress?

It does not include Li Keqiang or Wang Yang, both seen as economic liberals, both linked to the ideas of the former administration. It was just after the cameras had set up that officials approached Mr Hu and indicated that he should go. A longer edit of the footage taken on Saturday shows Xi Jinping turning to the former party chairman and also, to Mr Hu's left, senior figures Li Zhanshu and Wang Huning appearing concerned. The current government has encouraged an explosion in nationalist sentiment, showing little concern for what anyone else thinks about its handling of anything. Why in front of the cameras? What did he say to the man who replaced him, Xi Jinping, which prompted a nod from China's current leader?

According to [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/china/former-chinese-president-hu-jintao-escorted-out-party-congress-2022-10-22/), Hu had already appeared slightly unsteady during the opening ceremony last Sunday. It also wrote Xi’s major policy initiatives on the economy and the military into the party’s constitution, the AP said. As he was leaving, Hu exchanged a few words with Xi and patted Premier Li Keqiang, seated to the right of Xi, on the shoulder.

China's 20th Party Congress concluded on Saturday with a rare and shocking piece of live drama. Hu Jintao, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ...

Xu Caihou, a high-ranking military official, was [detained](https://www.hrw.org/report/2016/12/06/special-measures/detention-and-torture-chinese-communist-partys-shuanggui-system?gclid=Cj0KCQjwqc6aBhC4ARIsAN06NmMYqNpnBf4ZBCD2foKElOiTP4KtQid9B2VOy4g4La_qX9mI-QoFfe0aAn_CEALw_wcB) in 2014 in the middle of cancer treatment, and died the next year. [extremely harsh](https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/10/19/china-party-congress-xi-jinping-speech/) language in his opening work report to describe the situation within the party when he took over, speaking of a “slide toward weak, hollow, and watered-down party leadership in practice,” though without mentioning Hu or others by name. (Hu’s contribution to Marxist theory, the Scientific Outlook on Development, also got a token mention in Xi’s speech.) Humiliating Hu in this fashion would also send a clear signal to the “ [retired elders](https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/10/13/china-xi-jinping-succession-ccp-party-congress-elders/),” the former high-level leaders who long remained a force within the party, that Xi’s power was unbound. But the third and most disturbing possibility is that it was planned, and we just witnessed Xi deliberately and publicly humiliate his predecessor—possibly as a precursor to wielding the tools of party discipline, followed by judicial punishment, against him. The initial list of Central Committee names—the roughly 200 people who will nominally decide the Standing Committee, the core of the leadership, in meetings Saturday and announce it Sunday—is missing Li Keqiang, the current premier and a protégé of Hu’s, and other relative economic reformers such as Wang Yang and Liu He. Hu was associated with a power network of former leaders, like himself, of the Communist Youth League; that faction appears to have been [effectively destroyed](https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/04/world/asia/china-communist-youth-league.html). That could have been a remark by Hu to his former colleagues backstage or perhaps even signs of dementia that caused a sudden panic that something might go wrong. Since stepping down as CCP leader in 2012, when Hu was lauded by party media for—in a stark contrast to Xi—relinquishing power, he has been largely off the stage. Hu was seated in a prominent position next to current CCP leader Xi Jinping, and the incident was caught on camera; he appeared to ask Xi and Premier Li Keqiang a question, to which they both nodded, while Xi prevented him from taking some papers by placing his hand on them. [visibly frail](https://twitter.com/aaronMCN/status/1583775726138195970) during the Party Congress. The second possibility is that information suddenly came up that made Xi—who would have had to personally approve any such move—afraid that Hu might abstain or even vote against him in the rounds of otherwise unanimous voting that finished off the Party Congress. That wasn’t out of any great commitment to liberalism on Hu’s part but because most party members were more occupied with making money than with enforcing the party line.

Looking distressed, China's Hu Jintao appeared to resist leaving as the stewards escorted him out, turning back to his seat at one point.

Xi, who is 69, is included in the list of new Central Committee members. On his way out, Hu was seen to pause and appeared to say something to Xi and then patted Premier Li Keqiang on the shoulder. The dramatic moment has not been reported anywhere in Chinese media, or discussed on Chinese social media, where such conversation is highly-restricted. The circumstances surrounding Hu's exit are not clear. Hu spoke with the two men briefly and initially appeared reluctant to leave.

Unfortunately, the speculation and rumormongering about Hu are a product of the secrecy of the party itself. The more important piece of information that has emerged from the congress has to do with personnel—the shuffling of party leaders into the elite decision-making bodies: the party’s Central Committee, Politburo, and Politburo Standing Committee. As of this writing, all signs suggest the party leadership will be completely dominated by Xi, in a way it hasn’t been in the first 10 years of his rule. Hu’s 10-year tenure has previously been described in the West as a “lost decade” for China, a period in which both and economic and political reform largely stalled. This would be dramatic indeed, but making such a gesture at the congress itself would be cruel and unnecessary. Still, as James Palmer of Foreign Policy noted [earlier today](https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/10/22/china-xi-jinping-hu-jintao-ccp-congress/), Hu Jintao poses little threat to Xi at this point, given his age and declining stature in the system. During the remainder of the congress, Xi will install loyalists at the top levels of the party and claim a third term as general secretary. I have seen juicier interpretations still—such as that Hu was actively being purged at that very moment and would soon be charged with corruption and formally investigated by the party’s disciplinary apparatus. Having Hu literally pulled away could be a way for Xi to signal his dominance and send a message to other elites and the public. Hu, and his allies and protégés, represent a more technocratic, moderate arm of the party—one decidedly less repressive, and more open to the outside world. Hu’s feeble exit from stage is a sad symbol of the current trajectory of Chinese politics. In the middle of today’s session of the 20th Communist Party Congress, former General Secretary Hu Jintao was abruptly escorted off stage.

Xinhua news agency says former Chinese president was led from political gathering to 'rest' amid mystery around his departure.
