If it is just a false rumor, that still raises the question of whether or not it was started by anti-Xi forces inside China, or just some random gossip. The former might be part of a plan of psychological harassment of Xi, the latter just evidence that you can't trust everything you read on the internet. I guess we'll find out soon?

Because who else would object to living in a poor country where you can't even work in the oil industry because all the rights have been sold, in the ground, in perpetuity, to Gazprom and/or Sinopec?
