Former Tibetan Leader Claims Xi Jinping Suffered Heart Attacks Amid Leadership Concerns
Former Tibetan Prime Minister Lobsang Sangay claimed that Chinese President Xi Jinping suffered at least two heart attacks, citing information from a senior former Chinese official. Sangay suggested that Xi's health and mental state, including signs of 'mental fog,' may be affecting his leadership and decision-making amid political purges and succession challenges within the Chinese Communist Party. These claims remain unverified, with no independent evidence confirming Xi's health issues.
