JAKARTA - Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly visited an exhibition in Beijing on Tuesday wearing a mask, according to state television.

It became his first public appearance since returning to China from an official trip to Central Asia in mid-September, to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Forum Summit (SCO) in Uzbekistan.

Since returning to China after the meeting, speculation on social media claims President Xi Jinping has been ousted by a military coup, citing the Hindustan Times.

Officials from the ruling Chinese Communist Party did not respond to the rumors, as the party was preparing for the five-year congress which will begin on October 16.

As previously reported, news of Chinese President Xi Jinping in a coup from his position was followed by a number of other news circulating on social media over the weekend.

However, experts believe it was just rumors and false speculation because there was no official confirmation from the Chinese Communist Party or state media. There are no credible sources of news.

There is a strong possibility that Chinese leaders are undergoing quarantine following the country's strict 'Nol Covid Policy'.

"Xi is most likely quarantined after returning from the SCO," Chinese expert Adil Brar tweeted.

Adil Brar also shared flight data and said there were no flight disruptions, after previously rumors of the cancellation of domestic, international flights, to bus and train trips.

He also shared a visual briefing by senior Chinese officials, pointing out that the government is functioning normally. Next, the fact that a number of 'anti-President Xi' individuals were charged with the death penalty and prison, said he was strongly indicated he was still in command.
