Coup in Communist China: Xi Jinping Removed?

          (Nivedita Dash’s post from the INDIA.COM on 04 July 2025.)

Either dead or in prison?

Xi Jinping’s oldest enemy ready to end Xi’s rule in China, silent coup on against super powerful Chinese president: Chinese President Xi Jinping has been missing for the past two weeks as he has not been seen anywhere between late May and early June.

Various questions are arising due to the absence of Chinese President Xi Jinping for the last two weeks. Is Chinese President Xi Jinping’s power coming to an end? Is there a plot for a coup in China?. There is no news of him even in the Chinese government’s mouthpiece People’s Daily, although he used to be a part of its news every day.

Meanwhile, news of other Communist Party leaders hosting visiting dignitaries in Beijing’s grand hall made headlines. China has a history of senior leaders being quietly removed from power. In such a situation, it is not meaningless to ask whether similar preparations are going on against Xi Jinping as well.

Paetongtarn’s Thai Government on the Brink of Collapse

Thailand's government on brink of collapse after key coalition party withdraws support following leaked call: The phone call between Hun Sen and Paetongtarn Shinawatra has had massive political repercussions in Thailand. 

Political leaks are usually damaging but rarely bring a government to the brink of collapse. A leaked phone call has done just that in Thailand. The chat between Thailand's prime minister and a former Cambodian leader comes as the relationship sours over a border dispute that has stemmed from the death of a soldier. Here's how that death and a leaked phone call have brought a government to its knees.

What happened at the 'Emerald Triangle? Late last month, a Cambodian soldier was killed in a skirmish in a contested zone known as the "Emerald Triangle", where the borders of Cambodia, Thailand and Laos meet. Both the Thai and Cambodian armies said they acted in self-defence.
