Beijing news revealed that the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will be held from October 10 to 18. The source also said that Hu Jintao hopes to resign naked at the 18th National Congress, that is, handing over the two positions of general secretary and chairman of the Military Commission at the same time. He does not want to follow Jiang Zemin's example of handing over party power and sitting for another two years before handing over military power. It is reported that in addition to political considerations, Hu's decision was also related to his physical health. However, whether he can achieve his wish depends on the outcome of the power struggle within the party. In addition, Hu's wife Liu Yongqing is also rumored to be suffering from breast cancer and is receiving treatment.

According to this newspaper, at the Beidaihe Conference that ended not long ago, the top leaders of the Communist Party of China have agreed to hold the 18th National Congress from October 10 to 18. The relevant decision will be confirmed and announced at the Seventh Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to be held later. It is reported that at the Beidaihe meeting, Hu Jintao also proposed that he would hand over the positions of general secretary and chairman of the Central Military Commission at the same time at the 18th National Congress. He would no longer follow the practice of former general secretary Jiang Zemin, who surrendered party power and remained chairman of the Central Military Commission for two years before handing over military power.

Sources indicate that at the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2002, Jiang Zemin handed over the post of General Secretary to Hu Jintao in the name of "giving Hu Jintao a ride." Two years later, he handed over the post of Chairman of the Central Military Commission to Hu. Hu did not appreciate this move and considered it inconsistent with the system. Not only was it regarded by the outside world as clinging to power, but it also affected the governance of the next leader. Sources indicate that Hu has a strong "party spirit", cares about his political reputation, and advocates institutionalizing the succession. However, whether the wish is feasible depends on the power struggle between various factions within the CCP, and will be decided by the Seventh Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

It is reported that Hu Jintao hopes to return all the goods related to health. The news did not disclose what ailment Hu was suffering from, but overseas reports earlier stated that when Hu was in power in Tibet in the late 1980s, he suffered from a heart attack due to hypoxia at the plateau and has not recovered from it. In recent years, he suffered an attack and was hospitalized. In recent years, when Hu visited foreign countries or met with foreign guests, he often showed signs of qi deficiency and swelling of his head and face, which aroused speculation from the outside world. The news also pointed out that Hu’s wife Liu Yongqing was suffering from breast cancer and was receiving treatment. When Hu visited the United States in January last year and came to Hong Kong on July 1 this year to attend the handover commemoration, Liu was not accompanying him.

According to Reuters, three people close to the core of power revealed that after Hu Jintao retreats, Li Keqiang will be appointed as Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and in charge of the armed police, changing the current situation where the prime minister has no military power. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress closed yesterday, but did not consider the issue of expelling former Chongqing Municipal Party Committee Secretary Bo Xilai from the National People's Congress.
