SHOCKING footage shows Xi Jinping's guards drag a driver away after he ploughed his car into the gates of China's "White House".
The motorist allegedly tried to ram the entrance to Xi's residence in a suspected assassination attempt on the despot.
The unnamed suspect tried to slam the gates of the palace in a high-end vehicle with Beijing licence plates on Sunday.
Filmed by a witness on a side of the street, the clip shows the moment the suspect's vehicle mounted on the pavement.
A team of the dictator's security guards dragged the man out of his car and carried him by his hands and feet along the sidewalk.

Meanwhile, other agents rushed to the man's vehicle to check it for explosives.
The incident took place at the Xinhua Gate of the Zhongnanhai compound, where leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) reside in Beijing, China.
It is not only home to the Chinese leader - who in recent years has tightened his iron-fist grip on power - but also State Council and Politburo members and their families.
The motive of the attack remains unclear and it is unknown if the man was staging a protest against the CCP as people grow dissatisfied with China's socio-economic situation.
Under Xi's reign, speaking against the government policies have become a grave crime with risks of facing jail time.
The ruthless leader has committed human rights abuses against Uyghurs, strangled freedom in Hong Kong and now looks poised to seize Taiwan.

And since he's been in power, Xi has axed hundreds of top officials from his tightly-controlled government in a Stalin-like crackdown.
The Chinese leader is now thought to be reshaping his military into a finely-tuned machine ready to invade Taiwan by removing top army commanders and replacing them with war-ready generals.
His one-party system has long presented an outward image of unity - but behind the scenes there are rumours of discontent.

Back in 2014, rumours began circulation on Chinese social media that Xi survived six assassination attempts - although state-controlled media hasn't reported any.
These attempts were allegedly a result of the internal power struggle within the CCP- according to an anti-communist magazine The Trend which since then seized to exist.
