They are literally committing genocide right now and have been for years

Genocide is a pretty strong word and I don’t feel it is accurate, the UN hasn’t called it that either. Yeah they aren’t being very respectful to their cultural sensitivities, but they are also preserving it in their own way.

I feel like you’re purposely evoking images of Nazi Germany which I think is little disingenuous and doesn’t reflect the reality of the situation because frankly, people aren’t being murdered

So Hu is out, and anyone who so much as looked over at him being removed is going to be questioned by Party officials. This was power on display. Xi is emperor in all but name.

I have read a Chinese fiction called “Being emperor in the republic”. It is a parody of French Revolution. Yesterday I checked this book was taken down, as expected

"People are looking for Hu. President Xi got rid of Hu. Who? Yes, Hu."

Damn, that sounds like the start of an Abbott & Costello bit for the 21st century.

These spectacles are heavily scripted in advance. If Hu was actually an opponent they would never have seated him next to Xi. Guy obviously looks unwell and was escorted both in and out. Him moving the paper could be a signal he's not going to last to the end.

What are you suggesting is the purpose of this scripted spectacle then?

The script is the party congress, Hu being sick is not part of the script. But like all events there are contingencies.

Is there any reason at all to think that Hu was sick? Or any reason one would watch that video and conclude that he was removed for that reason?

Because a rational person might conclude that having him removed like that right after the press was allowed in to get footage and not before was the script.
