On October 22, 2022, Hu Jintao, former General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, was escorted from the hall at the closing ceremony of the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. He was led from his seat by two men. It is assumed that the current General Secretary Xi Jinping had instructed this.[1][2][3]
