Chinese President Xi Jinping allegedly narrowly avoided a coup attempt after receiving advance intelligence roughly two hours before it was set to unfold, triggering a sweeping crackdown that reportedly led to nearly 3,000 arrests.
Sources suggest that those detained include military personnel and members of their families, raising questions about internal stability within China's armed forces. While Beijing has not publicly confirmed the existence of a coup plot, the scale and speed of the alleged response have raised questions about whether the coup attempt was legitimate.
