Military coup in China, Xi Jinping under house arrest? Wide spread on social media

Beijing: Rumors are widely circulating in the social media that there has been a military coup in China and that President Xi Jinping is under house arrest.

These rumors also come following reports that some flights from the airport in the Chinese capital, Beijing, have been canceled and the country’s military has stepped up military preparations.

It is being circulated in the social media that Xi Jinping has been removed from the presidency and that he has been placed under house arrest by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). But no official confirmation has come out regarding this.

Some accounts, including Chinese social media handles, have claimed that Xi Jinping has been removed from his military powers and head of the PLO and is under house arrest.

They say the coup happened when Xi went to Samarkand in Uzbekistan to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit.

Some reports also mention that People’s Liberation Army General Li Qiaoming has taken office as the new president.

Neither the ruling Chinese Communist Party nor state media have yet commented on the issue.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government’s police department sentenced former minister Sun Lijun to life in prison for accepting $91 million in bribes in a corruption case. After this, reports of a military coup are also coming out.
