Lots of rumors are going around on social media about communist China and their currently version of Mao, Xi Jinping. While they remain just rumors on social media, something is definitely going on over in Biden’s favorite communist country. But what? That’s all a big secret right now.
Did someone draw another Winnie the Pooh cartoon?
While the reports of an attempted coup against Chinese President Xi Jinping are likely untrue, Far East foreign affairs expert Gordon Chang tells Newsmax where there is “smoke” there is likely some sort of “fire somewhere.”
“There’s been a lot of smoke — that says there is a fire somewhere,” Chang told “Saturday Agenda.” “We don’t think that there has actually been a coup; but at this point there have been some extremely troubling developments at the top of the Communist Party, as well as the top of the People’s Liberation Army, which reports to the party.
“So something is terribly wrong.”
The rumors themselves are a potential campaign to give Xi a proverbial “punch in the gut,” if not to keep Xi from remaining the leader for a third term, Chang told host Kilmeny Duchardt.
“Xi Jinping has jailed three figures, some of them for life sentences; so that by itself roils the situation. But the mere fact that someone is trying to destabilize the regime — and that’s really, I think, the source of these rumors — says that at this point, the regime itself is going through turmoil,” Chang said.
