Reports are circulating that Chinese President Xi Jinping, who had come to attend the BRICS summit held in Delhi, suffered a stroke.
The 18th BRICS Summit was held at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi on Sept. 12 and 13. Leaders of BRICS member countries participated in this summit.
The Chinese delegation led by Chinese President Xi Jinping also took part in this summit.
Xi Jinping, who arrived in Delhi on Saturday, held bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, he did not attend the dinner hosted by Prime Minister Modi afterward. After taking part in the second day of the summit event on Sunday, he returned to China.
Affected by a stroke?
In this situation, Wan Jun, the leader of the Chinese Democratic Party, which is banned by the Chinese government, posted on the X platform that Chinese President Xi Jinping, who attended the BRICS summit, suffered a stroke and collapsed.
He stated in his post:
“Rumors spread during the BRICS summit that Xi Jinping had fainted. After the medical team accompanying him provided emergency treatment, he cut short his India visit and returned to China on a special flight.
When the plane arrived at Beijing airport, no group of officials or welcome ceremony had been arranged at the airport to receive him. Instead, Xi Jinping was taken directly to a military hospital in Beijing for emergency treatment.
It is said that doctors found in an examination that Xi Jinping had suffered a severe 'ischemic stroke,' a stroke caused by blockage of blood flow to the brain.
He refused emergency treatment at an Indian hospital because he was afraid that information about his medical condition would become known to India. Since there were no facilities for surgery during the flight, the medical team could only provide basic treatment to save his life. As a result, he missed the crucial window for emergency care. Even though he underwent surgery, there is a high likelihood of severe complications,” he posted.
In another post, Wang Junxi stated, “Xi Jinping had already fallen into a coma by the time he was taken to the hospital. Martial law has been imposed in the hospital area where he has been admitted. This shows that he is in a critical condition. Instead of sending the medical team home, they have cut off contact with the outside world.”
It is reported that Xi Jinping fainted at the BRICS summit hosted by India. After emergency treatment by the accompanying medical team, he cut short his visit to India and returned to China on a special plane. After the plane arrived at Beijing airport, the Beijing authorities did not arrange for a large number of officials to meet him, nor did they organize a welcome ceremony. Instead, they used a military helicopter to take Xi Jinping directly to Beijing 301 Hospital for emergency treatment.… pic.twitter.com/3bfnNfoZ05

Earlier, during the BRICS conference, when Prime Minister Modi was speaking, he suddenly stopped his speech and asked Xi Jinping, “Is everything okay?”—which has become a topic of discussion.
However, reports have emerged that Modi asked specifically about the problem that occurred with the translation headphones.
Meanwhile, in a statement issued by the fact-checking unit of the Ministry of External Affairs, it was noted that “the reports claiming that world leaders who participated in the Delhi BRICS summit suffered a stroke and returned to their countries are not true.”
Nevertheless, no official information has yet been shared by the Chinese government regarding Xi Jinping’s health condition.
