A closer look at the defining struggles that shaped Hu Jintao's life and career.
Hu Jintao is a retired Chinese politician who held significant leadership positions, including General Secretary of the CCP (2002-2012), President of China (2003-2013), and Chairman of the Central Military Commission (2004-2012). He was a member of the CCP Politburo Standing Committee (1992-2012) and served as China's paramount leader from 2002 to 2012, playing a crucial role in the country's political and economic development during that period.
In 1987, Hu Jintao carefully handled the local students protest in Guizhou, in contrast to the protests in Beijing that led to Hu Yaobang's resignation.
In 1987, Hu Yaobang was purged by Deng Xiaoping due to his 'liberal' tendencies.
In February 1989, Hu Jintao responded to growing unrest and ethnic conflict by deploying some 1,700 People's Armed Police into Lhasa.
On 5 March 1989, serious rioting broke out in Lhasa. Martial law was declared on 8 March at Hu's request.
In June 1990, Hu Jintao experienced high-altitude sickness in Tibet and returned to Beijing.
In 1992, ROC president Chen Shui-bian repudiated the 1992 Consensus, calling for talks without any preconditions. Chen Shui-bian and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) continued to express an ultimate goal of de jure Taiwanese independence.
In 2003, during the SARS outbreak, Hu Jintao dismissed several party and government officials, including the health minister and the Mayor of Beijing, due to initial cover-up and slow response to the crisis.
In 2004, Hu's government changed tactics, conducting a no-contact policy with Taiwan due to Chen and the DPP's independence leanings and repudiation of the 1992 consensus.
In March 2005, the Anti-Secession Law was passed by the National People's Congress, formalizing "non-peaceful means" as an option of response to a declaration of independence in Taiwan.
In 2005, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao took a more conservative approach towards reforms and began to reverse some of Deng Xiaoping's reforms, adopting more egalitarian and populist policies.
By 2010, China's Gini coefficient climbed to 0.47, indicating a potentially unsustainable gap between the rich and the poor.
On 22 October 2022, at the closing ceremony of the 20th CCP National Congress, Hu Jintao was escorted out of the hall by two men in suits. Xinhua News Agency stated that Hu was not feeling well.
