On Saturday, a major conference on national defence and military reform was held in Beijing, and it was reported that close to 10,000 flights were cancelled, which fueled the rumours of Xi's arrest and a possible Chinese coup.
Over the past 48 hours, the Chinese rumour mill has spiralled out of control. For those who are unaware of the rumours, Xi was purportedly ousted in a coup prior to the Party Congress in October.
