This is the moment China‘s former president Hu Jintao is forcibly removed from his seat next to his successor Xi Jinping at the televised Communist Party Congress and dragged out of the room.
Hu Jintao, 79, was taken off stage shortly after foreign media came in to the Great Hall of the People.
The 79-year-old appeared slightly disorientated as two assistants came to speak to him and reluctant to move in part of the clip.
The two assistants helped him stand, firstly trying to grab him under his arms.

法新社画面显示，工作人员首先拿起了胡锦涛的眼镜，当尝试搀扶他时，胡锦涛右手缩回去，然后胡锦涛伸手拿习近平枱上的文件，工作人员即时制止。之后习近平头部转向相反方向，没有再理会胡锦涛。 pic.twitter.com/Y32PJyksP1— 自由亚洲电台 (@RFA_Chinese) October 22, 2022
Hu seemed downcast as he was dragged away, leaning down to speak to president Xi Jinping, 69, who nodded as one of the officials pulled his arm.
He also patted Premier Li Keqiang, seated to the right of Xi, on the shoulder.
The official seemed to be anxious to get him out of the room as he was then escorted out.
