Xi Jinping coughs multiple times during speech at Shenzhen’s 40th anniversary celebration, China's Media Removes Scenes in Live Broadcast

On October 14, 2020, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping attended the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.

The event was also attended by Hong Kong's chief executive Carrie Lam and some senior government officials from Hong Kong. Lam had postponed the annual police address which was originally scheduled around this time.

In his speech, Xi reiterated thst the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area project is crucial to the country’s development, and Shenzhen is the engine of this project. He hoped to speed up the establishment of railways around the Bay Area, and the integration in workers and logistics between the areas. He also mentioned that the establishment of the Bay Area can attract youngsters from Hong Kong and Macau to study, work, or reside there, so to initiate "in-depth communications" with youngsters from China and "be more united with the country".

During Xi’s speech, Hong Kong officials like Paul Chan, Teresa Cheng, John Lee and Eric Tsang were seen taking notes diligently.

Xi coughed around 4 times during 10 minutes in his 50-minute speech, but those shots were removed by the live broadcast handled by Chinese state media. Xi did not wear a mask.
