Xi Jinping Stroke Rumor Spreads After BRICS Summit

The viral X post claimed Xi suffered an ischaemic stroke and was taken to Beijing's 301 Hospital, but official records show he completed the summit.

  • Following the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, Chinese President Jinping became the subject of unverified online rumors alleging he suffered a stroke and was hospitalized upon his return to Beijing.
  • Wanjun Xie circulated claims alleging that Jinping fainted during the summit and was transported to the PLA General Hospital, also known as 301 Hospital, via military helicopter after returning to China.
  • The Foreign Ministry reported that Jinping departed New Delhi on September 13 after 'successfully concluding' his visit, with official records showing he attended the summit's second session, contradicting early-departure claims.
  • No official Chinese or Indian sources have confirmed a stroke diagnosis or hospitalization, and the unverified claims lack medical records or independently verifiable evidence supporting the alleged diagnosis.
  • Viral posts speculated that the President's health might affect a potential United States visit, though official accounts show Jinping returned to Beijing with Foreign Minister Wang Yi accompanying senior officials.
