In notable timing, President Trump stirs speculation with a surprising comment in his Friday social media post, stating some very strange things are happening in China. We'll break down the context and the events behind it, as unverified reports from multiple sources circulate that China's Communist leader Xi Jinping may have suddenly suffered a stroke. Now we present a new segment, China In Focus Insights, a closer look behind the headlines. Over the past two days, messages from multiple sources have echoed similar claims, suggesting that Chinese leader Xi Jinping may be in serious condition, possibly due to a sudden stroke. Among them are Du Wen, the former CCP official, and Tang Baichao, a pro-democracy activist. U.S. President Donald Trump is fueling speculation about Xi's possible health Xi Jinping, a well-known commentator on China affairs, said in his ex-post, the CCP's latest series of actions has caused Sino-U.S. relations to continue to plummet, leaving Trump unsure who is in charge within China and who can actually talk. As a planned meeting between Trump and Xi is coming at the end of this month, the market is anticipating a pretty big breakthrough in the trade talks between the two nations, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. Meanwhile, Beijing's recent actions have shown a very hostile stance. China has unveiled new curbs on its exports of rare earths and other critical materials. On Friday, Beijing announced that U.S. ships will be charged for docking at Chinese ports starting next Tuesday. Chinese officials have also opened an antitrust probe into Qualcomm, a leading U.S. chip design and patent licensing firm. Is this merely a negotiating tactic ahead of the planned Xi-Trump meeting? Meanwhile, Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te, recently referencing the Nobel Peace Prize, urged Trump to help stop Beijing's military aggression against Taiwan. On its national day, Lai also unveiled the new T-Dome air defense system amid rising threats from China. Previously, the president pledged that Taiwan's defense spending would reach 5% of GDP by 2030. Across the Taiwan Strait, China reportedly punished journalists for publishing reports that leaked details about new weapons. State broadcaster CCTV announced that Xi is expecting to attend and deliver a speech at the upcoming Global Women's Summit next week. China's state-run Xinhua reports that on October 10, Xi Jinping called Kim Jong-un to mark the 80th anniversary of North Korea's ruling party. Are state media outlets moving to quash the rumors about Xi's health and possible political turmoil? And it was quite clear that Xi Jinping could not go. He is in the middle of a life and death struggle to retain his position, which he may well lose in the fourth plenum coming up on October 20th to 23rd. The APEC summit in Seoul at the end of October, it's quite clear now that Xi Jinping will not go to that as well, because by that stage, Xi Jinping will either have consolidated power or be in the middle of an actual physical battle for survival, or he will be gone from public office or at least retired to a symbolic position. Analysts suggest that amid escalating internal power struggles, the Chinese Communist Party may not rule out using war as a means to resolve its domestic challenges.
