‘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”. Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
