Veteran national security reporter Bill Gertz posted to social media on Wednesday that wild "rumors are flying" about Chinese leader Xi Jinping's health and a possible plot to oust him from power.
"Rumors are flying in China over Xi Jinping begin [sic] taken ill during his visit to India. They include claims that he suffered a minor illness to experiencing a stroke worsened by failure to treat early," wrote Gertz, a national security correspondent for The Washington Times.
"Some wild claims say rival group armies are mobilizing for civil war. No confirmation but Treasury Sec Bessent is meeting with Chinese counterparts today and we'll see if the summit for Sept. 24 is still on," he added.
Gertz, a former fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, has written eight books and been at the Washington Times since 1985.
Gertz's post quickly raised eyebrows across the media. Conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt responded, "Bill is a serious reporter. Has been on China Watch for decades. So watch this space."

It’s all about labor, right? Especially union labor.
“Bill Gertz.” Wow. There’s a name I have not heard since 2000. Glad he is still around. He was essential reading when learning about Bill Clinton’s immoral and unjust actions. He will burn in hell, for sure, since he simply did not defend pre-born children.
Good one.
All of it, so far, is just more rumors/speculation - like the earlier “stroke” he supposedly had - being put out by Chinese dissidents.
Not just labor. Regulations and cost of land.
About two years ago there were rumors of a coup in China.

10-4.
On the other side of the balance sheet is American innovation.
Many of our pharmaceutical precursors come from China.
Hahaha! Brilliant!
Nothing says the Birth of Jesus quite as well as cheap plastic trinkets from China.
