Ex-President Jintao kicked out of CPC meeting, PM Keqiang sacked


- Xi Jinping's record third term as China's president confirmed

- The closed session of Congress also approved amendments to the constitution to give more power to Xi Jinping.

- Surprisingly, some members of the outgoing Standing Committee were not even included in the 205-member Central Committee.

BEIJING: Chinese President Xi Jinping was 'elected' to the ruling Communist Party's powerful Central Committee on Saturday, all but set to serve an extraordinary third five-year term as president in a major reshuffle at the ruling party's powerful summit that replaced several other top leaders, including Prime Minister Li Keqiang, an opponent of Jinping. The door has been shown. However, amid all this, former president Hu Jintao was kicked out of the ongoing session on the final day of the five-year meeting of the Communist Party. The video of this incident went viral on social media globally.

Saturday was the last day of the week-long session of the Congress, which meets once every five years at the Great Hall in the Chinese capital, Beijing. 205 regular central Committee members and 171 alternate members were elected in this session on Saturday. 69-year-old Xi Jinping has been elected to the Central Committee. Now this Central Committee will elect a 25-member Politburo on Sunday, which will elect seven members of the Standing Committee to govern the country. These seven members will select the head general secretary of the Communist Party and the country.

With Xi Jinping's election to the Central Committee, his choice as head of the party and country for a third consecutive term, and perhaps for life, is assured. With his third consecutive term as the Chinese president, Xi Jinping's power has increased and he will acquire the same powers as Mao, the founder of modern China.

In addition, some important resolutions were also passed during this closed session of the Congress, in which the Constitution has also been amended to give more powers to Xi Jinping.

However, the names of Prime Minister Li Keqiang, 67, Li Zhanshu, 72, Wang Yang, 67, and Han Zheng, 68, were surprisingly missing from the newly elected Central Committee. All these leaders were included in the outgoing seven-member Standing Committee, which was headed by Xi Jinping. Prime Minister Li Keqiang is believed to be an adversary of Wang Jinping and was not as hardline as Jinping.

Meanwhile, on the last day of the Congress of the Communist Party on Saturday, an important incident caught the attention of the whole world and its video went viral on social media. As the 20th Congress of the Communist Party was in session on Saturday, former President Hu Jintao, who was sitting next to Juniping, was escorted out by hand.

The video shows Hu Jintao being forcibly taken out by the hand by the security guards. Meanwhile, Hu Jintao does not want to go and even protests, but he is forced to go out. The 79-year-old Jintao even chatted with him as he walked past him on his way out. It is not yet clear under what conditions Jintao was evicted.
