Unsubstantiated claims spread on social media that the Chinese president is under house arrest, although the reports have been dismissed as "wild rumors." https://t.co/4tu9WjMfn3

The hoax was first posted by Jennifer, a FalunGong cultist notoriously china hoaxmaker.
She herself rebuked her own hoax roughly 5 hrs later but many seems just selectively read what they wanna read.

It's amazing though how a hoax from 1 unverified shady source can last so long.

2) The people arrested are not big shots, so at this point there is no evidence of any serious challenge to Xi's position.

Some people made this bigger than what it is with coup rumors, etc, but there is no evidence at this point for anything of that nature.

The main originator of the #China coup rumor is now saying that the rumor is not true.

Now she adds that 3 senior anti-Xi officials were sentenced to death. We'll have to see if there are reliable sources that can validate those statements, but don't hold your breath. https://t.co/K3YXuKrHio

Rumors are swirling across the internet of a military coup in China and that Xi Jinping is under arrest after CCP seniors removed him as head of the PLA. Is the massive cancellation of flights in China just a military exercise, or is there something more to it? 🧐 pic.twitter.com/VDyQZacM2T

There is a rumor going around regarding a coup in China. We see no evidence of any coup in China, though many flights have been canceled. It is more likely the flights were canceled due to COVID measures and "zero COVID policy", than due to a coup. pic.twitter.com/wgQm8cPJKX
