    Rumours circulating that Xi Jinping is under house arrest following a military coup?
    Can't see anything on any formal news sites, but many foreign media sites reporting and speculating about it.
    He'd had a disagreement with Putin in the last few days over lack of support, possibly linked?
    Dodgy days ahead....

    All I can see is something formulated on Twitter, and the news sites I've seen uses Twitter as its sources. Could be something and I just haven't looked far enough however

    They are heading for a big economic problem because of massive over speculation in the housing market- ordinary people have been protesting openly about it, which says something about how serious it’s got. The ridiculous Zero covid strategy is also fooking them in the @ss. 2 years on and they’re still closing down Mega cities because of a handful of cases, insanity.
