Former Tibetan Prime Minister Reveals Information on Xi Jinping's Health Problems and Coup Risks

Lobsang Sangay, the former Prime Minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile, shared exclusive information regarding Xi Jinping's health condition and potential political risks in China. He conducted an extensive interview with the news agency ANI in Delhi.

Lobsang Sangay stated that he learned from a high-ranking former Chinese official, whom he met for over an hour, that Xi Jinping has suffered not three, but at least two heart attacks (myocardial infarctions).

He also mentioned periods when Xi Jinping suddenly disappeared for three to five weeks before reappearing in public.

During a podcast discussing the president's recent visits, Lobsang Sangay answered detailed questions about his appearance. He noted that despite the obvious pressure exerted on him, which is evident in his appearance and gait, this pressure has led to heart problems.

According to Sangay, due to 'mental fog' affecting the leader, he makes unexpected decisions, which explains the dismissals among senior army generals. Sangay emphasized that he personally appointed these officers. He also spoke about instances of generals disappearing and defense ministers going missing.

Revealing information from within China's inner circle, he claimed that his bodyguard and head of the military department possess more power than many Chinese ministers, and that Xi Jinping lives in some kind of 'cloud.'

When asked about Xi Jinping's succession plans, Lobsang Sangay expressed doubt about the existence of a clear plan. He described the situation as the 'emperor's dilemma': if the monarch appoints a successor, there is a high probability that the prince will kill him and take his place, according to Chinese history. However, if no successor is appointed, the rule can be prolonged, but this will lead to national paralysis and internal conflicts among power contenders, which, in his opinion, is happening now.

It is important to note that the 'Prime Minister' of Tibet is effectively the Secretary of the Central Tibetan Administration (the government-in-exile), and currently, this position is held by Penpa Sering, who resides in Dharamsala, India.

Historically, the People's Liberation Army of China invaded Tibet in 1950. Following pressure, a 17-point agreement was signed in 1951, after which Tibet became part of China. After the uprising in Lhasa in 1959, fearing repression by the Chinese army, the Dalai Lama and thousands of Tibetans fled to India, from where the government-in-exile continues its activities. China considers Tibet its autonomous territory and does not recognize the government-in-exile.

CT scanning room flooded in Mahoba district hospital; patients forced to travel to Jhanjansi or Banda

The district hospital in Mahoba is experiencing severe flooding in the CT scanning room due to incessant rains, which have been ongoing for nine days, leading to a complete shutdown of the equipment.

Since the machine was taken offline on August 26, patients from remote villages have been unable to receive CT scans. Medical staff are attempting to manage the situation by using vacuum cleaners and pumps to drain the water, but a permanent solution has not been found.

In emergencies, patients are forced to travel to Banda or Jhanjansi for treatment and examination, resulting in loss of time and financial resources.

Problems for patients and accompanying persons

People who have come to the hospital for treatment are forced to wander aimlessly through the facilities. For example, worker Dhaniram from Ratouli village is worried about his injured child's CT scan, and patient Marun Nisha is also forced to go in circles.

Ward boy, Myank Kumar, who works in the CT scanning room, reported that a complaint about the flooding was submitted to the Chief Medical Specialist (CMS), and for now, he is only given promises to call patients after the machine is operational.

Risk of electric shock, CMS statement

The hospital's Chief Medical Specialist (CMS) stated that the CT scanning room is located in an old and deep building. Since the water is rising from beneath the floor, there is a risk of electric shock, so the machine cannot be turned on until it is dried out, in order to ensure safety.

A similar situation occurs every rainy season, but despite this, the administration is not taking any decisive steps, and responsible officials express their helplessness.

High activity of the plague focus noted on the Russia-Mongolia border

Increased epizootic activity of the natural plague focus has been registered in the border area between Russia and Mongolia. Specialists reached these conclusions after analyzing the results of laboratory tests conducted in 2026.

According to information from Rospotrebnadzor, this concerns the Saylughem cross-border focus, which covers an area of approximately 29 thousand square kilometers. Almost sixty percent of this zone is located in Mongolia.

The condition of this zone is regularly monitored by Russian anti-plague institutions in cooperation with the National Center for Zoonotic Disease Studies of Mongolia. In the Russian Federation, planned monitoring and vaccination activities continue, which helps maintain a stable sanitary and epidemiological situation.

Systemic nature of the focus activation

The intensification of the focus activity near the border is part of a systemic process observed in recent years. As early as 2023, representatives of the Mongolian specialized center reported at the international conference 'Problems of Zoonotic Infections' the discovery of 137 natural plague foci in 17 aimag of Mongolia.

The areas closest to Russia are the regions of the northwestern Uvs aimag, which borders Tuva. According to the results of joint studies conducted by epidemiologists from both countries, the growth of focus activity in this specific region was also recorded in 2022.
