If it weren’t for the second tweet I’d think that he was serious.
Does COVID really lead to brain damage? I used to doubt it.

The question is, at the start of the article they say it is based on news from PRC State media.
So the article is not what they are independently reporting.

But Epoch Times is known for not being honest about anything, including what they are basing themselves on so you'll need to find what PRC state media they quoted and if there isn't any, then, well, you know... that's just the Epoch Times continuing to earn their reputation.

Flight Master said 9,583 flights had been canceled nationwide as of 10:35 p.m. on Sept. 21, accounting for 59.66 percent of those total scheduled journeys of the day, reported China.com.
There are no Typhoon around Beijing either.

So go to Flight Master and see if that is true. Here is their website:
I don't see anything about 9,583 cancelled flights but I don't play around with that site so even if it were to be true, I see that 9.5K is supposed to represent just over 50% cancellation rate for the day. Now... I also see there is a map presented by rumor spreaders with just 2 airplanes above Beijing. So... almost 10K is just over half. The other half is... 2. Does that make sense? I don't think so.
Fact is that the West gets in a rumor frenzy anytime something may or may not be happening in China and they step on their own feet quite often. I don't pay attention to this and always wait for the dust to settle in China before ready what had occurred.

It was undoubtly Indians who were spreading these news about Xi being arrested. They managed to get it trending in twitter, reddit and other platform. And almost all of the source were indian tabloid news channel.
No, the question is, are you actually entertaining what they have written with any sort of credibility that is worth anything more than immediate disregard?
Because if you are unable to pass this simple test of common sense, then perhaps you may legitimately be incompatible with this forum at the cognitive level, and it would be more beneficial for you and for the rest of the forum to part ways so you don't waste both or time and everyone else's time.
On the other hand, if you are able to acknowledge other people's input on this and learn from it, then perhaps there is still room for some semblance of conversation.
Regarding the flight cancellations: Funny Stuff Thread.... to loosen your day
Just did a search on baidu, there were domestic news about flight cancellations.
The source for this news is which is the official media account of city of Dalian so it's not fake news.
However, flight cancellations could be the result of numerous reasons. The article suggested covid as the reason. Granted it's unusual, but we currently don't have enough info to entertain any serious talks of a potential coup.
As of 8:15 a.m. Sept 22nd, Beijing capital airport flight cancel rate was 61%, Beijing Daxing airport cancel rate was 65%, Shanghai Pudong airport cancel rate was 51%, Shanghai Hongqiao airport cancel rate was 32%.
