Speculations Surrounding Xi Jinping's Health: The Stroke Rumors That Shook Social Media

In recent days, a wave of rumors regarding the health of Chinese President Xi Jinping has taken over Russian social media platforms, igniting a flurry of speculation and concern. These rumors claim that Xi suffered a stroke during a significant political event, the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Third Plenary Session, which was held from Monday to Thursday. The session is a crucial time for the party leadership, as analysts closely monitor it for potential shifts in China's policy direction.

The gossip picked up momentum on Wednesday when Jennifer Zeng, a human rights activist formerly associated with the anti-CCP outlet The Epoch Times, discussed it on her show, "Inconvenient Truths by Jennifer Zeng." Zeng noted on X (formerly Twitter) that Chinese social media was abuzz with reports of a major event concerning the president, indicating that the public was eager for updates.

Despite the sensational headlines, including claims from Russian news agencies that Xi's life is in jeopardy, both the Chinese and Russian foreign ministries have yet to issue a formal response to these alarming assertions. The lack of substantiated information has led many to question the veracity of the reports, further fueling the ongoing discourse about Xi's health and its implications for China's political landscape.
