Was he being purged in a dramatic show by China’s current leader, Xi Jinping, for the world to see?
The moment, captured on video by journalists who had been allowed into the hall minutes earlier, prompted questions and wild speculation. Was Mr. Hu, 79, suffering from poor health, as Chinese state media would later report? Or was he being purged in a dramatic show by China’s current leader, Xi Jinping, for the world to see?
Is my understanding OK?

Hi Your understanding is correct. 'Clear off' is idiomatic, so it doesn't necessarily go well in the passive voice - The farmer told me to clear off, so I went - I cleared off his land straight away ? - I was cleared off his land The first and second are the idiom and correct.
