“Xinhuanet correspondent Liu Jiawen found out that Hu Jintao insisted on attending the final meeting of the 20th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party despite taking some time to recover,” RIA Novosti quoted the agency on Twitter.

It is noted that after Hu Jintao felt unwell, aides escorted him to a room next to the hall.

Earlier it became known that Hu Jintao left the hall ahead of schedule at the closing ceremony of the 20th CCP Congress at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
