Video footage of Xi Jinping exiting a plane is circulating online, prompting new health-related speculation. Multiple social media users say the clip shows Xi tightly holding or appearing to “grab” his wife’s hand as they descend the stairs.
The report comes days after Xi’s public appearance pattern abroad drew attention, including reports that he did not attend a banquet during his India visit. While some outlets highlight the hand-holding as evidence that Xi may be unwell or in need of support, other parts of the coverage focus on how the moment could be consistent with normal assistance steps during boarding or disembarking.
None of the outlets cited in the provided materials offers independently verified medical information to confirm claims about Xi’s health. The discussion therefore centers on interpretation of a brief video moment rather than confirmed facts.
