China Coup Rumors Are Not Dying Down

A couple of days ago we reported about rumors of President Xi Jinping being arrested.

If you haven’t read the story then it brief summarization rumors have ignited that state China President Xi Jinping was arrested and China’s People Liberation Army has taken full control.

The rumors have popped up after a large number of flights from Beijing have been canceled.

You would think those rumors would have died down by now but due to the lack of reports coming from Beijing those rumors have yet to subside.

Since September 14th, President Xi has not been seen by the public eye which has had media outlets in Asia in a frenzy.

ocial media across China and the rest of Asia continues to be in overdrive today as persistent rumours that president Xi Jinping has been removed in a coup refuse to die down.

Local and regional media speculate China’s long-standing leader was removed when he was away in Samarkand while attending the recent SCO summit, on 14 September.

Xi Jinping has reportedly not been seen in public since then although any rumours have been widely debunked in the last 24 hours.

Nevertheless, according to various reports in half a dozen Asian countries today, including India and Singapore, there are unconfirmed reports Xi Jinping has been placed under house arrest and is being replaced by the powerful army general Li Qiaoming.

Li Qiaoming, who is among the most senior officials of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA), has served as commander of the Northern Theater Command since September 2017.

“The rumour that Xi Jinping has been arrested has legs because it is such a sensitive political moment in China, and the recent trials (and convictions) of long-serving senior officials creates a hothouse atmosphere,” Thompson wrote on Twitter.
