1. After combing the Internet patiently for the latest political events in China, I chanced upon the following interesting links and videos which can be regarded as valuable records of history of Chinese politics. They could never be viewed in China as long as the great "scrubbing emperor" is in power.

2. BEIJING: Rare footage captured by CNA in the moments before former Chinese president Hu Jintao's unexpected departure from the closing session of the Communist Party Congress on Saturday (Oct 22) may shed new light on the incident.

The current head of China’s legislature or the National People’s Congress, Mr Li Zhanshu, is seen sitting on the left of Mr Hu in the main auditorium of the Great Hall of the People.

He takes a set of papers from the former leader's hand and arranges it, before placing it back on the table, while leaning in to speak with Mr Hu.

Mr Li was a member of the previous Politburo Standing Committee, the party's top decision-making body.

These moments occurred shortly after the media, including CNA, were allowed to move from a holding area into the hall to witness proceedings.

Just minutes before that, Chinese state media reported that a new central committee had been elected at China's twice-a-decade Party Congress, which journalists were not allowed to witness.

Seated on Mr Hu’s other side, Chinese President Xi Jinping looks on before turning away, while outgoing Premier Li Keqiang, who was sitting next to him, keeps his gaze straight ahead.

Mr Li is then seen sliding the stack of papers away from 79-year-old Mr Hu while saying something to him, as the former leader looks ahead.

Mr Xi, who took over as Chinese leader from Mr Hu between late 2012 and early 2013, then appears to try and get someone’s attention. Mr Kong Shaoxun, head of the Communist Party’s secretariat, approaches and speaks with him before leaving.

Sitting next to Mr Li, ideology tzar Wang Huning, who was reappointed to the Communist Party’s Politburo Standing Committee on Sunday, is seen gesturing at Mr Hu.

Another staff member approaches Mr Hu and holds on to his chair, while listening to Mr Xi who gestures at the documents on the table in front of him.

The male staff member nods in acknowledgement, before moving between Mr Hu and Mr Li.

In the next few moments, Mr Li exchanges a few words with the staff member while the latter picks up the documents on the table.

Local and foreign media are positioned on level two of the auditorium and watch as Mr Wang looks to be glancing upwards in their direction. He says something to the group.

The staff member then supports Mr Hu's arm and appears to try and lift him out of his chair. He's also holding on to a pair of spectacles, presumably the one that was on the table in front of Mr Hu previously.

Head of the party’s secretariat Mr Kong approaches to help with Mr Hu's chair as the former president gets up but Mr Hu appears to turn back to his seat and at one point reaches for the documents in the staff’s hand, even as attempts are made to usher him along.

Eventually, Mr Hu starts to walk towards the stage exit, while being supported by the member of staff.

But he stops to say something to Mr Xi who nods and replies briefly. As Mr Hu leaves, he is also seen patting Premier Li’s shoulder as he walks past.

Some members of the Congress presidium, like Vice Premier Liu He, top diplomat Yang Jiechi and vice chairman of the Central Military Commission General Zhang Youxia seated on stage in the front row look straight ahead as Mr Hu exits behind.

Vice Premier Hu Chunhua, who lost his spot on the second-highest decision-making body - the Politburo - sits with his arms crossed as the 79-year-old walks behind him.

Tipped to have been a potential successor to outgoing Premier Li, the 59-year-old is known as "Little Hu" for his resemblance to the former president's political career. He is seen as one of his proteges and is associated with the rival Communist Youth League faction under the senior Hu.

Premier Li is also linked with the faction, which Mr Xi's not part of, and the 67-year-old is set to relinquish his post next March. He has also been excluded from the new central committee.

Meanwhile, newly appointed number two ranking official and Shanghai Party Chief Li Qiang, who looks set to take over from Premier Li, and incumbent Vice Premier Sun Chunlan are seen speaking to each other.

Following former president Hu’s departure, proceedings continued with delegates voting on other items on the agenda including an amendment to the party’s constitution.

The former Chinese leader did not return to the hall after that.

Addressing the incident later that night, Chinese state media attributed Mr Hu's exit to health reasons.

In a tweet written in English, Xinhua said that Mr Hu was “not feeling well” during the session and added that due to his health, a staff member had accompanied him to a room next to the meeting venue to rest.

Mr Hu's name was censored from Chinese social media.

3. What is so secretive about red folder's contents that are even forbidden to the incumbent leader's predecessor?

(a) Does the red folder contain the secrets of "the Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden" that could boost the incumbent Chinese emperor's power?

(b) Or does it contain a newly-discovered lost copy of Sunzi's "The Art of War" that will make the Chinese military invincible?

(c) Or does it contain the secret of eternal life that was much sought after by Qin Shi Huang (秦始皇,259–210 BC), the first emperor of China?

(d) Or does it contain the legendary book of martial arts 《葵花宝典》 that could make the incumbent Chinese leader "invincible in the East"? Dongfang Bubai 《东方不败》, literally "Invincible East", is a fictional character in the wuxia novel "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" by Jin Yong.

(e) Or does it contain files that show "Absolutely No Mercy" to the incumbent Chinese emperor's opponents or rival factions in the party?

4. There is no doubt that the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies are keen to get hold of the red folder. In November 2019, an American newspaper claimed to have obtained a collection of more than 400 pages of internal Chinese government documents. Just use your brain. Not even a mosquito or a housefly can penetrate the "Great Wall of Chinese Censorship". Hence it was a miracle indeed to be able to get so many pages of allegedly internal Chinese government documents out of China. Perhaps those supermen have mastered the art of teleportation in order to perform such a remarkable feat. Just hope that they can repeat the miracle by revealing the red folder's forbidden knowledge soon. It is definitely an easier task for them because the thin red folder should contain less than 400 pages.
