The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China closed on Saturday, and Xi Jinping was re-elected, but in the new list of members of the Central Committee, almost all of Xi's family members were selected. , but was unexpectedly dropped. There was also a dramatic scene at the venue that day. In the middle of the meeting, Hu Jintao was dragged away from the meeting, which led to speculation that the regiment might be destroyed.
On 22 October 2022, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China ushered in the closing meeting, but there was a dramatic scene. Hu Jintao, the former general secretary of the Communist Party of China, was invited away in the middle of the meeting and did not participate in the final vote.
From the picture, it can be seen that Hu Jintao does not seem to want to leave, while Xi Jinping is acting as if nothing has happened. Li Zhanshu, who was beside Hu Jintao, seemed to be in a cold sweat. He took out a towel to wipe his forehead. He wanted to stand up but Wang Huning pulled him back to his seat to stop him.
Hu Jintao did not seem to want to leave. After a brief stalemate, when he was being carried away, he leaned over and whispered with Xi Jinping for a while, and finally patted Li Keqiang on the shoulder before leaving.
This dramatic scene has aroused heated discussions in the outside world. Some people speculate that Hu Jintao may be unwell and left the stadium halfway, and some analysts believe that it may be that there is no consensus on the permanent list, and Hu Jintao is temporarily removed.
Zhang Tianliang, a historical and cultural scholar (source: YouTube "Dawn Time"): "Since Hu Jintao was suddenly removed from the scene, I can probably feel that Hu Jintao was very dissatisfied with the list this time, and felt that the Tuanpai was destroyed by the Tuanpai. From the fact that Xi Jinping took Hu Jintao out, we can see that Xi Jinping has almost reached the point where he can do whatever he wants without any restrictions. So is it possible that he will directly promote his cronies, that is, Li Qiang, as the premier, this statement was published in the South China Morning Post There was a prediction, and the Wall Street Journal seems to have made such a prediction, which means that if Xi Jinping makes Li Qiang the premier, he will break a major convention, that is, a person who has never been a vice premier of the State Council, or even a member of the State Council. People who are not at all have become prime ministers. I think we need to observe this matter.”
After the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the list of the new Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was released. Among the 205 people, Premier Li Keqiang, Chairman of the National People's Congress Li Zhanshu, Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Wang Yang and Vice Premier Han Zheng, all fell off the list, which means that they will not be re-elected in politics. Bureau Standing Committee. Among them, Wang Yang's fall off the list has become a major upset news.
Current affairs commentator Wang He: "According to the practice of the CCP, the chairman of the CPPCC will be re-elected. Only Yu Zhengsheng has only served one term because of his age, while Wang Yang is regarded by everyone as an iconic figure of the reformists, and he is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Chang Hou is obedient to Xi Jinping, so even if it is like this, Wang Yang has already compromised enough, and if he retreats this time, he will say that Xi Jinping will do his best to bring his Xi family army into the core of the political arena."
In the list of 205 people, Xi's cronies: Ding Xuexiang, Li Xi, Li Qiang, Huang Kunming, Chen Min'er, Cai Qi, Lou Yangsheng, etc., all passed the test. According to external analysis, Xi Jinping may take the power alone, and in the future China's development towards controls that will become more authoritarian.
International affairs commentator Tang Hao (source: YouTube "Tang Hao at the Crossroads of the World"): "How much power will Xi Jinping have after being re-elected? This is the focus of attention next, because his power will directly involve him Will many of the policies of China continue to go forward, and will they go faster or slower, such as dynamic reset, wolf warrior diplomacy, and the use of force against Taiwan, as well as the wrestling confrontation between the CCP and the United States, etc.”
BBC analyzes the reasons behind
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China concluded in Beijing on the 22nd. Former General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Hu Jintao was "removed" in the middle, which caused heated discussions from all walks of life. "BBC" reported that Hu Jintao's departure is the most likely two. One reason is that he has serious health problems, and the other is that those in power will symbolically remove leaders who represent an old era.
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held the closing meeting yesterday (22nd), during which former President Hu Jintao was suddenly "helped away" by others. It can be seen from the relevant pictures that Hu seemed to be trying to resist, and once reached out to take Xi Jinping The document on the desktop in front of him was held down by his hand. Xi and Hu once had a conversation or two, while Hu Jintao was constantly being pulled from his seat by the staff, while Xi Jinping, who was on the side, was "cold-eyed". Before Hu was finally about to be pulled away, he also turned his head and put his hand on Xi's back and said something. Xi only responded by nodding his head and moving his mouth slightly. After that, Hu also patted Li Keqiang, who was sitting beside Xi. With a slap on the shoulder, after Li nodded, Hu was led out of the Great Hall of the People.
In response to this process, the British media "BBC" also analyzed, and pointed out that although the Chinese official media "Xinhua News Agency" later said that Hu was unwell, but according to the pictures, Hu seemed to be reluctant to leave the venue. Hu Jintao said to Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang respectively What, these questions have made the outside world quite curious. "BBC" pointed out that the National Congress of the Communist Party of China is usually a highly "scripted" event, and pointed out that the outside world believes that Hu Jintao's departure may not be accidental, and the timing of Hu's departure is very clever. The closed-door meeting was held early, but after the conference allowed the cameras to enter and set up their positions, they were suddenly taken away. If Hu was really in poor health, why did everything happen so suddenly? Why is it happening in front of the camera? Is this an emergency?
"BBC" pointed out that there are two most likely reasons for Hu Jintao's departure, one is that he has serious health problems, and the other is that those in power want to symbolically remove leaders who represent the old era. The BBC said that Hu Jintao represented a very different model of China than Xi Jinping, and that Xi Jinping took the country in a very different direction compared to the period when Hu represented the opening to the outside world and increased tolerance for new ideas. The core", with unchallenged authority, has taken China in a completely different direction, and Xi Jinping has previously cracked down and cleaned up all opponents through anti-corruption. In this 20th National Congress, Li Keqiang, who is regarded as the representative of economic liberalism Or Wang Yang was also "out" from the CCP Politburo Standing Committee, and the new Politburo Standing Committee members are almost all supporters of Xi Jinping. This further ensures that China will enter a completely different trajectory from the reform and opening up of the Hu Jintao era.

At noon on 23 October 2022, the seven newly elected Politburo Standing Committee members of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China met with reporters. Among them, Li Qiang, the secretary of Shanghai, has become a permanent member, which has aroused attention. It is predicted that he may take over the post of Premier of the State Council of the CCP.
Four of Xi Jinping's cronies, Li Qiang, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, and Li Xi, all became members of the Politburo Standing Committee. The other two former members of the Standing Committee, Zhao Leji and Wang Huning, have complex backgrounds.” posing a threat to Xi.
Among the seven standing committee members, Li Qiang, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, has attracted attention from the outside world. As usual, according to his ranking at the press conference, it indicates that he will succeed Li Keqiang as the premier of the State Council in March 2023.
Li Qiang, 63 years old, is from Ruian, Zhejiang. He has served as the governor of Zhejiang Province, secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, and secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee. member.
The position of secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee is recognized as a springboard for entering Zhongnanhai. Xi Jinping, Zhu Rongji, Han Zheng and others have all entered Beijing from this position. Li Qiang was previously regarded as a popular candidate to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. He is also a key pawn in the personnel layout of Xi Jinping's 20th National Congress.
However, in April this year, Shanghai was closed due to the epidemic, and the chaos continued, causing serious damage to the economy and people's livelihood, and had adverse effects at home and abroad. Li Qiang was caught in the "City Lockdown Vortex", and the road to normalcy was accused of casting a shadow over him.
After 2 months of closure and control, Li Qiang claimed to have won the "Shanghai Defense War". However, during the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the epidemic in Shanghai re-emerged, and many districts were closed again.
However, the Shanghai epidemic has apparently failed to affect Li Qiang, which also reflects from the side that Xi Jinping's power within the party seems to have no one to challenge.
Li Qiang was Xi Jinping's right-hand man when he was in Zhejiang but he has no experience as vice premier.
In the past, almost every candidate for the premiership of the CCP had the experience of serving as a vice-premier. Although Wang Yang, chairman of the National People's Congress, and Hu Chunhua, vice-premier, met this criterion, they were not considered close enough to Xi Jinping.
At the 20th National Congress, Li Keqiang, Wang Yang and Hu Chunhua, who belonged to the Youth League faction, all failed to become permanent members, and even the Politburo members and Central Committee members did not have their names, which highlights the loss of the Youth League faction in the party.
Neil Thomas, a senior China analyst at consultancy Eurasia Group, told Bloomberg that Li Qiang's promotion after Shanghai's failure to contain the outbreak will only make him more loyal to Xi Jinping as prime minister, and it also shows that Xi Jinping is determined to make it his political achievement.
"Putting a close confidant as prime minister would also further promote Xi's greater control over the day-to-day affairs of the government," Bloomberg said.
