  Okay thanks. As I was expecting, nothing is happening there. Is incredible how Indian sources are building something about it. Just a clear example of how fake news are built and spread.

    Probably true. The rumors seem to have begun within the British (London) ex-Hong Kong community, being reported in an Indian video interview. It's not impossible the rumors reflected inside knowledge but we have no real reason to think so at this point. Epoch Times (religious rag) sometimes get good inside info early from their contacts (and spies?) but seem to have nothing on this. https://www.theepochtimes.com./xis-absence-from-public-eye-ahead-of-third-term-bid-sets-rumors-flying_4752887.html https://www.theepochtimes.com./xis-absence-from-public-eye-a...

    Lots of hoaxes are often posted to small outlets in the hope it will be picked up by bigger outlets. On Youtube checkout https://youtu.be/tR_6dibpDfo https://youtu.be/tR_6dibpDfo , a look into how hoaxes are started from the 80s onwards.

  I'm wondering if he's going to get in trouble because someone in China either doesn't understand or doesn't like this sort of humor (or just the consequences that arose from dumb people misinterpreting it).
