This is huge news. If it's true I don't see how anything good will come of it in terms of world order. Taiwan must be nervous AF right now.

didn't we have that same news a few months ago? maybe on another website,

Stupid speculation that doesn't serve any purpose

Flight cancellations are not unusual, The government does this when they put a region into a Covid related  lockdown. If you look at where the flights are suspended, those are the regions where there is a new lockdown.  As for a coup, not likely. The big guy isn't going anywhere unless he is physically ill.

More telling is the newly created Wikipedia page China Coup 2022 has since been deleted - reason: Blatant Hoax

The world should be a nervous AF if there is any truth to it.

Anyone with a computer and internet connection is qualified to create a web page and call it 'news'.

That was my impression too. I didn't see any reputable news outlets mentioning this neither did any of the critical of China bloggers i follow.
