Xi Jinping's health rumors resurface after Kyrgyzstan appearance
Speculation regarding Chinese President Xi Jinping's health intensified following his appearance in Kyrgyzstan in late August. Videos showed him holding his wife Peng Liyuan's hand tightly while descending stairs from a plane, with some observers noting his face appeared pale and swollen, and his gait unsteady.

One report cited claims from a former Tibetan Prime Minister alleging Xi has suffered two heart strokes.
