Beijing: The news spread that President Xi Jinping was ousted by a military coup in China and that the Chinese President was imprisoned upon his return after the Shanghai Cooperation Summit. But now Shi’s new video is out to dispel all the rumours.
Footage on state TV showed Xi Jinping visiting an exhibition of the Chinese Communist Party. Xi is attending a public event almost a week after returning from Uzbekistan.
Since yesterday, unconfirmed reports have surfaced, including on Twitter, that Xi has been placed under house arrest by the People’s Liberation Army and Li Qiaoming, an army general and commander of the Northern Theater Command, has assumed the presidency. Chinese citizens, including those living abroad, tweeted the news. A section of observers pointed out that the news may not be true.
