[REGNUM] The US is dreaming of an orange scenario in China. And they have good reasons for it.
A number of media, the existence of which in the world no one knew the day before, writes about a possible coup d'état in China. Allegedly, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Foreign Minister Wang Yi are not seen at important meetings , and amazing events are taking place in the country. For example, massive flight cancellations. The topic was eagerly picked up by social networks, it grows like a snowball.
The trigger for panic was the article - the question "Is Xi Jinping under arrest?", Published by the Indian portal Tfiglobalnews.
The authors of the material write that “Chinese netizens flooded social networks with messages that Beijing is under military occupation. However, the world has no idea what is going on because the city is ultimately cut off from the world."
It is alleged that Xi Jinping was detained at the airport after returning from Samarkand "and is most likely currently being held under house arrest at the Zhongnanhai House." As confirmation of this version, they refer to the cancellation of flights in China, as well as the presence at one of the important meetings of an official who was previously fired by Xi.
This version, which did not find any confirmation, quickly migrated to Taiwanese and other media and instantly covered the world's social networks. Users were not even embarrassed by the fact that the “arrested” Xi Jinping had already participated in public events in China after returning from the SCO summit.
The orange scenario in China is Washington's cherished dream. Let's leave the verification of arguments and the search for truth to specialists in the Chinese agenda. But what should you pay attention to? The stuffing appeared between the completed SCO summit and the congress of the Communist Party of China, which will be held on October 16 and where a new chairman of the PRC will be elected. Whether Xi Jinping will become it or whether his opponents from the pro-American lobby will win is still a question. And a lot depends on the events that are happening now.
In order to strengthen the position of its supporters in Beijing, the US provoked the Taiwan crisis and tried to push the parties to start hostilities. Of course, China is preparing an operation to liberate Taiwan from separatist forces, but the conflict could turn out to be bloody, given that Taipei is supplied with Western weapons no worse than Kyiv. But China is not accustomed to military conflicts. Losses in the course of hostilities will become a national tragedy. And people's pain will turn into a geopolitical tool in the hands of opponents of the current course.
The second circumstance is the partial mobilization announced in Russia. The decree was signed after the summit in Samarkand, after negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. What was discussed on them is covered with a tight veil. However, the decision to mobilize and the Russian leader's warning about the wind rose in case of threats to Russia speak of Moscow's determination to fight to victory. And it is obvious that the main ally, Beijing, supports it in this. This means that the West has not yet had any success, despite the impressive sanctions and the regrouping of Russian troops in the Kharkov direction.
The third circumstance is the approaching recession in the European Union. The fact that it is inevitable in the coming year, experts interviewed by Bloomberg say. They estimate this probability at 80%. The recession in the economy, of course, will affect the social situation of the inhabitants. But first of all, it means capital flight. From the fading European territory, large investments will migrate to where everything is not so bad. Where?
The United States, which provoked the conflict in Europe, hopes that they will. But there are doubts about this, since the United States also has problems in the economy. And they also run the risk of falling into a recession. The alternative is the Asian markets, namely a stable China and a rapidly growing India.
The mass relocation of European enterprises to the SCO countries will be the final collapse of the West. There is no market way to stop it. But when did it stop the US?
And therefore, the material about Xi Jinping's "arrest" from the outside does not seem completely implausible.
