is there any source for this Xi house arrest thing, can't find anything on regular news

@skells The only thing I've seen are randos on twitter talking about it. Apparently the logic behind the rumor is that there are an unusually low amount of airline flights over their capitol and numerous flights have been cancelled.

Until I see video I'm chalking it up to the usual twitter logic of "This small thing must mean something crazy and unrelated"

@skells For example: this retard.

@ins0mniak @skells it looks like this is entirely unconfirmed hype that started with - and -

@7 @skells Yeah, I'm looking through the feed right now, So far it's just people who know nothing repeating each other and some random Indian news sites that I know nothing about.

@ins0mniak @7 seems like something is going on, quite how one gets to Xi under house arrest

with Iran and everything else going crazy, you get the sense that we're at an historical hinge point, who knows

@skells @7 Yeah, I guess we'll find out eventually one way or another.

I will say, a lot of these posts are coming form Indian accounts and those people are notoriously dumb on social media. They'll spread any conspiracy they see for some reason.

@ins0mniak @skells That it’s primarily Indian sources doesn’t lend confidence. And Zeng’s a good reporter but she’s not shy to announce the dead ends she’ll pursue that fit her interests.

@7 @skells For sure. India's entire country are like American facebook boomers. Thye'll believe anything and spread the hell out of it.

I'm also starting to see posts from different accounts that seem to be repeating more or less the same sentences.

Troll farm maybe?

@ins0mniak @7 why would you spread such a rumour

@skells @7

Well, people flipping out is usually pretty funny.

@ins0mniak @7 haha no doubt, weird use for a troll farm tho

usually when bots are spouting similar lines there's an agenda
