Events in China - Yazata - Sep 23, 2022
A large military convoy reportedly 80 km long is on the move in China heading for Beijing. (Cell phone video exists of military vehicles on the road, but may just be routine movements.) And rumors exist that Xi Jinping has been removed as head of the People's Liberation Army by his CCP comrades and may be under arrest. (I don't know the source for this and consider it unlikely.)
Worth watching though, to see what else happens.

China watchers are saying that despite lots of flights being cancelled, there is no clear confirming evidence of any coup. The consensus seems to be that the flights were canceled due to China's extreme zero-covid policy.
