I have a couple of Chinese students I will be tutoring later today, so I'll see if they say anything… Damn. |

Therre are numerous news article popping up on the net. If this is true, I am wondering if this is fueled by a failed economy or Xi told the military hawks no to a Taiwan invasion? |

If true, let's hope it is good. |

My Chinese students didn't mention anything, & I didn't volunteer to ask. I didn't want to get them in trouble, especially since one of them thinks Xi needs to go. Edit: I have one of my same Chinese students scheduled for tomorrow, so maybe I'll mention something. IIRC he lives in Beijing. Damon. |

BTW, Wikipedia had an entry for the coup that was deleted. the reason stated was blatant hoax. Doesn't mean that it is not true, but rumors are rumors. Damon. |

Too bad it is not verified… But who knows how things would turn out if he was arrested/died/disappeared, etc. ? He is "the Devil you know". As I have said before I don't trust the CCP. And IMO as long as the CCP exists we have to look at them as trying to replace the USA economically, etc. as "#1" in the world. |

I don't think we will know for sure, for a few days. The web seems to have Varied opinions as to what has or has not happened. |

Well, I know there is room at Gitmo. Nice there this time of year … |

I always think Xi is his preferred pronoun but don't know what Xi name actually is. Now we many never know. Mike Bunkermeister Creek |

I have some names for him that I can't repeat here. 😁 |

I asked one of my Chinese students today about it (we sometimes talk about Chinese politics), & he had a good laugh. Damon. |
