After vanishing from public view for 14 days, Chinese leader Xi Jinping reappeared in Beijing on June 4, hosting Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. He returned to the front pages of state newspapers and led news headlines once again. The next day, on June 5, he held a phone call with President Trump. Some were quick to proclaim: “Xi is back—and still in charge!”
But a closer look at the official coverage tells a different story. Subtle but telling abnormalities suggest something is off. The strangely low-key “family-style” meeting with Lukashenko has even sparked speculation that Xi may no longer be free to leave his residence. And one lingering question remains: what role did Putin play in Lukashenko’s visit?
