[People News] At 4:30 PM on August 24, the official website of the Communist Party of China published a brief article about Xi Jinping meeting with King Abdullah II, who was on a state visit to China, and holding a welcome ceremony for him. A more detailed report with images was released later, after 7 PM.
When comparing this with earlier announcements from the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it becomes clear that this news contains significant implications. On August 17, the spokesperson announced that King Abdullah II was invited to visit China from August 18 to 24, marking his ninth visit since he became king. During this visit, Xi Jinping is scheduled to hold talks with the king, while Premier Li Qiang and National People's Congress Chairman Zhao Leji will meet with him separately. The king is also expected to visit Shanghai and Shenzhen.
The timing of the Jordanian king's visit is evidently linked to the current situation in the Middle East, with high-level discussions in Beijing being the main focus. This mirrors the events of September 9, 2015, when the king arrived in Beijing and immediately met with Xi, signing a joint statement before engaging in other activities.
According to state media reports at the time, King Abdullah II first visited Shanghai and Shenzhen, arriving in Beijing just two days later, on the afternoon of the 20th. Following diplomatic protocol, a welcome ceremony should have been conducted by Xi Jinping for the king on the 21st, followed by their talks, and then separate meetings with Li Qiang and Zhao Leji.
However, a peculiar situation has arisen. Reports from state media indicate that on the 21st, Zhao Leji met with Abdullah II, which was supposed to be part of the planned schedule. Yet, there were no reports of Xi Jinping or Li Qiang meeting with Abdullah II on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, or the morning of the 24th, which is quite unusual and diplomatically inappropriate.
It was only on the 24th, as Abdullah II was preparing to return home according to the established plan, that Xi and Li finally appeared in the afternoon to meet with him. This delay in Li Qiang's meeting seems to be linked to Xi, and Xi's inability to meet with the King of Jordan as scheduled likely suggests that he is facing health issues again. Footage from CCTV shows Xi walking slowly during a review, appearing somewhat limping as usual.
After attending a memorial meeting for Jiang Zemin on August 17 and delivering a speech, Xi visited Babaoshan on the 18th to pay his respects to Zhu Rongji, and in the afternoon held talks with Ecuadorian President Noboa, after which he has not made any public appearances.
Simultaneously, reports from abroad have surfaced regarding a leak from the 301 Hospital database, with suspected CT images of Xi Jinping emerging. These images include what appears to be Xi's right kneecap and brain scans. The brain CT scan reveals a significant area of his brain displaying
If the CT scan indeed belongs to Xi Jinping, it would validate reports that he suffered a stroke during the Third Plenary Session in July 2024, and that his health has been deteriorating for over two years since then. Following his praise for Jiang Zemin, who has caused great harm to the nation, Xi has once again exhibited health issues and has retreated from public view. This raises concerns that he may be experiencing brain-related problems, potentially requiring injections of neuroprotective agents or medications aimed at treating cerebrovascular diseases, brain injuries, or brain atrophy. Could this be a form of retribution for Jiang's past actions?
In fact, Xi's disregard for foreign dignitaries is not unprecedented. On April 21 of this year, he held a welcome ceremony for Mozambique's President Filipe Nyusi only the day before Nyusi's departure from Beijing, despite Nyusi's visit occurring from April 16 to 22. On the morning of the 21st, both Li Qiang and Zhao Leji met with Nyusi separately.
As this was Nyusi's first visit to China, his primary objective was to meet with the top three leaders of the Communist Party and sign a series of agreements. To show proper respect, he should have been welcomed by Xi in Beijing first, before starting his tour of the country.
Furthermore, as the president of a nation, Nyusi should have met with Xi upon his arrival in Beijing, especially since a welcome ceremony was planned, which is standard diplomatic protocol. For comparison, during the visit of Uruguay's President Luis Lacalle Pou on February 3, he first met with Xi before his meetings with Li Qiang and Zhao Leji.
From a diplomatic standpoint, it is quite disrespectful for a president who is set to leave the next day to only receive a welcome ceremony the afternoon before his departure. This is clearly a breach of diplomatic etiquette.
A similar situation arose in mid-April during Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez's visit to China, coinciding with Xi's welcoming ceremony and Sánchez's departure from Beijing on the same day.
In less than six months, Xi has encountered three "diplomatic incidents," which is quite frequent. The only reasonable explanation seems to be that Xi's health has taken a serious turn for the worse, a fact that the senior leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is aware of but is intentionally concealing.
To address these diplomatic missteps, the CPC likely promised additional concessions in the agreements signed with visiting foreign leaders, ensuring that they leave with significant benefits, without being overly concerned about the details.
However, considering the severity of Xi's health issues, he could be at risk of life-threatening situations at any moment. Regardless of how much the CPC tries to obscure the truth, Xi's condition is unlikely to improve, as the repercussions are clear and cannot be resolved by modern medicine. With the increasing frequency of these incidents, there will inevitably come a time when the CPC can no longer keep this under wraps. If Xi were to suddenly die, has the CPC prepared contingency plans? Have they considered how to navigate the ensuing changes?
