Chinese President Xi Jinping is suffering from Cerebral Aneurysm. There is no official statement from the Chinese government about Xi Jinping’s health. (banucciteam.com) But, as per the media reports, at the end of 2021 President Xi Jinping was hospitalized. Here is more on the disease.
What is Cerebral Aneurysm?
Cerebral aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disorder that causes weakness in the wall of the cerebral artery. It in turn leads to the ballooning of the blood vessel in the brain. It can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke and therefore is life-threatening and requires prompt attention.
What led to the speculation that Chinese President Xi Jinping is suffering from a Cerebral Aneurysm?
Well, this news gained momentum because President Xi Jinping had avoided meeting foreign leaders since the COVID-19 outbreak, until the Beijing winter Olympics.
During his March 2019 visit to Itlay, it was visible that President Xi’s gait was unusual with a noticeable limp.
Another thing that has come to light is that the President, rather than going for surgery, has chosen his treatment through traditional Chinese medicines, according to the reports.
These reports come at a crucial time when President Xi Jinping is eyeing his historic third term. To win again for the third 5-year term the President has to depict China as more prosperous, effective, thriving, and stable under his rule.
China is under a lot of pressure right now. The rising pressure is due to the hike in the prices of oil and gas. The strict implementation of the Zero-covid policy is also affecting the economy and adding to the strain.
The Chinese officials at first were ferociously promoting the dawning new era of “Common Prosperity” and imposing forfeitures on rich celebrities and tech colossuses. But now they have shifted their tactics toward growth and economic stability.
