For the corrupt to the bone military to invade Taiwan, it must first control the government

This “news” has been around a few days. It is almost certainly nutball fake news that is spreading as random bits of info get added to spice up the story.

Plus there was some sort of military action at an airbase in Shenyang one night a week or so ago. The video of multiple detonations was making the rounds on Chinese social media.

LOL!

Given today's environment, that's almost plausible.

Methinks you’re closer to the bullseye than you realize. Jaw-dropping good stuff about to happen, globally. Not WEF crap, either.

Don’t trust this report and never trust the Chinese government.

The whole point, if the rumors are true, is why exactly is the PLA suddenly against Xi - are they more, or are they less in favor of invading Taiwan than Xi??? That is the question the rumor raises, to me.

I’ll believe it when I see him swinging from a gallows.

As I said...hard to know from this distance.

Time will reveal all.

We don’t know for sure. Maybe they did something other than arrest him, and he WAS president for life.

When all news sources are being controlled it is often only by word of mouth (rumors) that can get information spread.

Is this story true or false? I don’t know. But unlike others on this forum I will not shoot the messenger for passing it along.

The thing to remember about China is that it is not so much a “nation” as a crime organization. The change of leadership is often violent.

Under the leadership of Xi the free flow of money (where everyone skims a bit) has slowed. If Xi is taken out it will only because he has cut into the take of the other gang leaders.

Sometimes a rumor is just a premature fact.

It might not be a coup but instead a preparation for imminent war. Shutting down travel also prevents people from seeing military movements and getting in the way of military aircraft and military trains.

Maybe China is going to attack Taiwan or Russia today or tomorrow?

I remember first reading a “rumor” about a respiratory illness in Wuhan right here on FR. I guess it was nothing to worry with.

Newsweek via MSN: “Xi Jinping Trends Online Amid Coup Rumors, Canceled Flights”

Chinese President Xi Jinping became one of the top trending topics on Twitter amid unsubstantiated reports he is under house arrest and that China is in the midst of a military coup.

Xi and the phrase #ChinaCoup trended on social media after tens of thousands of users spread unconfirmed rumors that the president was detained and overthrown by the China’s People’s Liberation Army.

This speculation, which has not been discussed by any reputable sources, arrived as there are hardly any commercial flights flying over the capital of Beijing on Saturday, with unverified reports claiming all trains and buses are also being canceled out of Beijing.

You could ask Nicolae Ceaușescu about that. Technically, he was President of Romania right up until they executed him.

Is Xi an emperior? I thought China got rid of all traditional Chinese ways of life. For the CCP is the “heaven”.

right?
