Beijing
Chinese President Xi Jinping appeared for the first time on Monday afternoon, 10 days after returning from the Shanghai Cooperation Summit (SCO Summit). Jinping appeared on state TV.
His appearance becomes important because for many days there were rumours on social media that Jinping has been house arrested by the Chinese Army (People’s Republic Army or PLA).
The eyes of the world are also on Jinping because the annual meeting of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is to be held next month. It is believed that in this meeting, Jinping’s third term as President can be stamped, although its path is now becoming difficult.
According to a report in an AP news agency – Jinping appeared in Beijing several days later. He came to participate in a government program and its footage was telecasted on government TV. Due to not being seen for several days, many speculations were being made about Jinping.
Along with the Chinese President, Prime Minister Li Keqiang and some other party leaders were also present at the event. Apart from this, some officers of the Chinese army were also seen here. China’s economic development was discussed in this program.
Jinping attended the SCO Summit in Samarkand, Uzbekistan on 16 September. This was his first foreign trip after two years. After a two-day stay in Samarkand, Jinping returned to Beijing and was not seen at any events.
It was said on social media that the Chinese army is very unhappy with Jinping, which is why he has been placed under house arrest. However, since the time of Corona in China, it is a rule that after returning from abroad, any person has to stay in quarantine for 7 days. At present, there is no leader who can challenge him directly. It is being said that he can remain the President as long as he wants.
Next month important
The five-year convention of the Communist Party of China is starting on October 16. It is believed that in this, Jinping will once again get an extension of five years. Usually, the President of China is elected only for two terms, but Jinping is being considered an exception in this case.
A few days ago, Western media reports said that during the Jinping era, China’s relations with neighbouring and distant countries also deteriorated and it was seen as an opportunistic force in the world. Apart from this, it is having a direct confrontation with America on the issue of Taiwan.
China’s economy depends heavily on real estate, but this sector has also become very weak. International rating agency Moody’s has given its growth rate on the economic front at 3.5%. Looking at all these matters, the question of Jinping’s leadership can be considered certain to be raised in the party meeting.
According to the news agency, rumours of a coup in China have surfaced many times before. This time Jinping has been on target for the anti-corruption campaign. Many of his opponents have been jailed.
