There are (unconfirmed) reports that all rail travel has been suspended, as well.

I would honestly be very surprised if the party elders moved in this way to oust him, but he has been losing support and credibility since the pandemic began.

The Chinese economy is in much worse shape than most are reporting, with something like 80% of common Chinese wealth invested either directly or indirectly in the collapsing housing market.
