Chinese state-affiliated sources debunked claims of offline PLA Weibo accounts on January 27, 2026, stating all accounts remain accessible and active over the past several days, as reported by TaiwanMonitor during the 5:15 PM to 6:45 PM UTC window. This addresses unverified social media posts alleging Te-Jing forces near the Forbidden City and troops entering Beijing. TaiwanMonitor posted on X quoting @AteoBreaking's claim that 'Troops enter Beijing... Te-Jing forces have been deployed near the Forbidden City' and that 'Weibo has disabled all official military accounts,' but countered with the clarification that such claims about Weibo accounts are incorrect, according to the source monitored in this 1-hour-29-minute period. The debunking follows similar unverified reports from The Global Eye and TaiwanMonitor earlier on January 27 between 3:46 PM and 5:15 PM UTC, which claimed PLA deployments around the Forbidden City without official confirmation from Chinese authorities. No new official statements from Chinese authorities verified or addressed the alleged troop movements during this reporting window, per monitored sources.
