Social media is full of theories and stories, but it’s almost impossible to find any confirmed information at all. Anyone knows what’s up?

Either nothing, or the most important thing going on in the world today. But as you say, probably nothing.

#6If 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?

It could also be started by a pro-Xi faction, to expose whoever reacts favorably.

#9Alternate hypothesis: they're preparing for open war and the "coup against Xi" message is just put out as a potential alternate explanation?

I'd like to add to what I just said and point out that the latter scenario was actually used in Venezuela where they'd have fake "coups" to see who actually didn't like Chavez, or as the regime said, "was on the CIA payroll." 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?
