Deutsche Welle had commented that Xi had beefed up his security after taking power, with his teacups being manned, likely to prevent being poisoned.
Some U.S. media had disclosed that Xi had more than 10 assassination risks before and after he took office. Before the 18th Communist Party Congress, Xi Jinping’s succession was not yet decided, and he had encountered plans such as the poisoned needle of former Political and Legal Committee Secretary Zhou Yongkang and the assassination in Beidaihe.
The newspaper quoted sources as saying that most of the assassinations Xi Jinping encountered were during dietary, transportation and inspection visits. There have been at least five Food safety incidents, such as in December 2017, when Xi Jinping sought medical attention for abdominal pain.
The sources also disclosed that the Communist Party’s top brass is particularly cautious about dietary safety, and in recent years it has become even more sketchy, with each central leader saving samples for records after traveling to drink water so that the source can be traced in case something happens.
In addition, from 2015, male waiters began to pour water for Xi Jinping and other Standing Committee officials at the Communist Party’s two sessions. Before that, water was poured by female waiters.
Regarding the gender switch of waiters, one theory says that male waiters may be bodyguards for the highest levels of the CCP. There is also the view that this is to prevent the scandal of top CCP officials staring at beautiful women from being exposed.
Before Xi’s teacups became the focus of attention at the two sessions, former CCP leader Jiang Zemin’s scandalous lustful staring at waitresses was captured by overseas media and widely circulated, causing extreme embarrassment to Beijing authorities.
Jiang Zemin’s lustful stare at a beautiful woman has long been a well-known joke at home and abroad.
At the opening ceremony of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Jiang Zemin’s eyes were dazed and old, but he still did not change his lustful nature, not forgetting to stare at beautiful women “in a daze”.
At the 17th Communist Party Congress, Jiang Zemin sat on the podium and looked at the young and beautiful waitresses with lustful eyes, staring backwards and forwards, up and down. After international media reporters captured the photo, it was widely published by overseas media.
At the 16th Congress, Jiang Zemin was sluggish and yawning in the meeting, and finally fell asleep. Only a pretty waitress could cheer him up. On other occasions, foreign media reporters also lost no time in taking many photos of Jiang Zemin in a scandalous state, which were circulated on various websites and forums.
When the 19th CPC National Congress was held, a Taiwanese media article said that Jiang Zemin was seated in the first row of 41 central core leaders, all by “male waiters” pouring water, the rest of the seating area is still maintained “female” pouring water, Jiang Zemin at this time, of course, also did not move at the end of the seat The article says that the intention is clear.
The article said that the intention is obvious, is to avoid the recurrence of scandals like Jiang Zemin’s lustful eyes on waitresses.
