“The superiority of the Chinese system”. Right.

Hu Jintao, China’s leader before Xi, is led out in front of cameras, in front of the glassy-eyes of his replacement, Xi Jinping. but with no explanation. Utter contempt for people of China and the watching world to give zero explanation. Weibo has wiped his name. 

We’re told it’s coz he’s sick. Surely they knew that. Yet say nothing?

Xi just yesterday mocked the British election chaos. Said, again, the Chinese system (aka, dictatorship) is “superior”. 

You can have that system. (Secret, creepy).

Or you can have the crazy shenanigans of the British, choosing yet again a new PM, the fifth in six years. (Open, competitive, silly fun): 

Which system? You choose.  I know which one I prefer.

ADDED: I’m kind of thinking that the most likely reason is some sort of illness. Maybe he had a monitor which beeped with the health staff. But what is weird is that Xi was there, glassy eyed. A normal human would show some sympathy if there’d been some health issue. Especially given the age of some of the comrades in the gallery. The creepy gallery, of same be-suited drones...

Whether it’s illness or some form of coup, either case, the CCP is treating not just its own people but the watching world with contempt. To think we don’t even deserve an explanation. Any, would do at this point.
