These spectacles are heavily scripted in advance. If Hu was actually an opponent they would never have seated him next to Xi. Guy obviously looks unwell and was escorted both in and out. Him moving the paper could be a signal he's not going to last to the end.

What are you suggesting is the purpose of this scripted spectacle then?

The script is the party congress, Hu being sick is not part of the script. But like all events there are contingencies.

Is there any reason at all to think that Hu was sick? Or any reason one would watch that video and conclude that he was removed for that reason?

Because a rational person might conclude that having him removed like that right after the press was allowed in to get footage and not before was the script.
