Former Chinese president Hu Jintao escorted out of party congress as Xi Jinping looks on | ABC News AU |

Search results for "Hu Jintao" on the Twitter-like Weibo platform appeared to be heavily censored Saturday afternoon, with the most recent result dated Friday and posts limited to those of official accounts.

Xi is all but assured of being formally announced on Sunday as the party's general secretary for another five years. 

This will allow Xi to sail through to a third term as China's president, due to be announced during the government's annual legislative sessions in March. 

Since taking over from Hu a decade ago, Xi has become China's most authoritarian leader since Mao Zedong. 

Xi has crushed opposition to his rule inside the party, with many of his rivals jailed on corruption charges, and he has shown no tolerance for any form of public dissent.

Stealth intervention talk permeates market as yen approaches ¥150 | Japan Times - Oct. 19, 2022 |

The yen carried on its seemingly inevitable decline toward ¥150 per dollar, as traders scoured intraday moves for evidence of subtle intervention from Japan.

Twice in under a week investors have seen sudden bursts of yen strength as it edged to fresh lows, spurring speculation that officials are subtly intervening to support the currency. The yen traded around the ¥149.30 level Wednesday, after weakening to ¥149.38 on Tuesday in a volatile session which included such a spike.

"The move seems to have been driven off of electronic flows rather than `voice' driven flows which points to `stealth' intervention," Brad Bechtel, global head of foreign exchange at Jefferies, wrote in an Tuesday note. "Maybe they are warming up to defend ¥150.00 as the next big psychological level above."

Market-watchers expect Japan to focus on the pace of the yen's decline rather than any particular number. But ¥150 is seen as an important psychological level in Japan and a break may increase pressure on authorities for further action.

The yen has tumbled about 23% against the greenback this year thanks to a yawning monetary policy differential between the United States and Japan. The currency has wiped out last month's intervention-driven gains despite a $19.5 billion spend and a barrage of warnings from authorities trying to dissuade traders from testing their resolve.
