Unverified social media reports from accounts including @AteoBreaking and @News24global98 claimed between 1:16 PM and 3:45 PM UTC on January 27, 2026, that Chinese military convoys moved toward Beijing, Te-Jing forces deployed near the Forbidden City, and military department accounts on Weibo were disabled, amid alleged nationwide tensions. Posts on X reported large military convoys heading to Beijing, as stated by @News24global98 and @baaaarzaaaakh during the 2-hour-29-minute window. @AteoBreaking noted Te-Jing riot police analogue forces near the Forbidden City and disabled Weibo accounts of military departments. Separate claims by @Baoliaogeming64 referenced earlier military vehicles on Tianjin Ring Road on January 26, soldiers in Xuzhou, and tanks in Inner Mongolia, without official confirmation. No official statements from Chinese authorities verified these reports during the period, according to monitored sources. @News24global98 claimed the Army General Staff banned further military movements nationwide. These unverified claims follow Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun's earlier rebuke of Japan over Taiwan comments at a January 27 press conference, as reported in the prior window ending 1:15 PM UTC, where no military developments were noted.
