A 14-year-old student in Jiangyou, Sichuan, was bullied, prompting thousands of citizens to take to the streets in the early hours of August 5 to protest the government's inaction. The angry crowd shouted slogans such as “Down with the Communist Party” and “Down with Xi Jinping.” (Video screenshot)
[People News] Just as the CCP’s Beidaihe conclave concluded, reports emerged that Xi Jinping was admitted to the PLA General Hospital (301 Hospital). On August 15, U.S.-based Shanghai entrepreneur and independent media figure Hu Liren revealed on his channel Real China that on the late night of August 14, three top medical specialists from Shanghai were urgently summoned to Beijing’s 301 Hospital to consult on Xi Jinping’s condition.
Hu disclosed that on August 15, he learned that the previous night, three elite specialists from Shanghai had been called to the core ward of 301 Hospital to examine an extremely sensitive patient — none other than the CCP’s top leader, Xi Jinping.
Hu explained that within the CCP’s political system, 301 Hospital is more than a place for treatment: it is a barometer of political winds. Each late-night summoning of specialists may signal loosening of certain political chains. This time, the fact that authorities mobilised cross-provincial medical resources in the middle of the night indicated that Xi Jinping, the supreme leader, had suffered an acute health crisis.
For the CCP, Xi’s health is the top state secret. For a long time, observers have speculated from signs and rumours that Xi’s health is severely compromised. Especially since the Third Plenum last year, when rumours spread that Xi had collapsed from a stroke, speculation over his health crisis has intensified.
Hu once received what appeared to be Xi Jinping’s medical report, which suggested multiple illnesses.
The report covered six categories of examinations: thyroid function (TSH, FT3, FT4), kidney function (creatinine, BUN, eGFR, etc.), metabolic function (blood sugar, blood lipids, etc.), cardiac function (ECG, echocardiogram, plasma BNP), nervous system (brain MRI, Parkinson’s disease rating scale), and abdominal scans (ultrasound of liver, pancreas, etc.). The results allegedly showed Xi suffering from senile brain atrophy, Parkinson’s disease, hypothyroidism, chronic heart failure, mild renal insufficiency, hyperlipidemia, and alcoholic fatty liver. Hu noted that while the report appeared highly professional, its authenticity could not be verified.
News of Xi being taken to 301 Hospital on the night of August 14 came just as the Beidaihe conclave ended.
This year’s Beidaihe meeting was particularly unusual. Even before it began, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent had described it as a “closed-door meeting.” Public speculation abounded that this year’s conclave would decide Xi’s fate, the upcoming Fourth Plenum, and even the leadership arrangements for the next Party Congress.
What exactly happens at Beidaihe is never truly known to the outside world. Yet beyond the closed doors, the August 4 “Little June Fourth” uprising in Jiangyou — a mass resistance incident — reverberated at home and abroad, reportedly reaching Beidaihe’s ears. On August 5, Xi’s trusted ally Chen Min’er’s former subordinate Jing Yaping was expelled from the Party; on August 9, rumours spread that International Liaison Department chief Liu Jianchao had been detained. On August 11, traces of Miao Hua’s “toxic legacy” led to the dismissal of Vice Minister of Veterans Affairs Yang Youbin. On August 12, former central bank Party secretary and banking regulator Guo Shuqing was reported under investigation. These moves outside the conclave reflected the stormy, intense power struggles at Beidaihe. Reports even suggested that Xi was pressured by Party elders, who accused him of policy failures and poor personnel decisions.
Meanwhile, far away in Sydney, Australia, a bizarre car crash suddenly drew global attention to a 23-year-old heiress, Yang Lanlan, and linked her name to Xi’s family.
On July 26 at 3:30 a.m., Yang drove a Rolls-Royce worth 1.5 million AUD and collided with a Mercedes, leaving the other driver seriously injured. She was charged with “causing bodily harm by misconduct” and “refusing or failing to undergo breath analysis.”
Soon after, investigations revealed her enormous wealth despite virtually no traceable family or financial records. Netizens speculated and compared evidence, eventually focusing suspicion on the all-powerful “Emperor Xi.” Whether Yang Lanlan is in fact Xi Jinping’s illegitimate daughter remains unproven, but Xi’s sudden health crisis on the eve of Yang’s first court appearance on August 15 raised questions. Hu Liren remarked that this may be a coincidence, or inevitability, or perhaps the first domino in a chain of events.
Hu concluded by saying: One thing is certain — when the core of power begins to show vulnerability, the winds of rumour can no longer be contained. It seems the Chinese people may finally be approaching the end of their long ordeal.
