Pepe doublin' down.
VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE I now have TWO separate, definitive confirmations from TWO ultra high level intel sources from TWO separate Asian nations. Working to get a third - at least a partial acknowledgment. I moved to Asia 30 years ago. Built a unparalleled network. Trust my top sources a billion per cent. The original source that led to my first post reconfirmed he stands by it. His words: "I'm honestly surprised that people are surprised. Do they really think if something like this happened it's gonna be presented to them in front of their TVs? It's like history has taught them nothing." Working on a first column - probably out tomorrow. Many thanks to all who offered informed, sharp comment and criticism. This should be a collective effort to get to what might have happened: the shape of it, not necessarily the details as they were leaked.

I agree with the last bit. It's ALL RAW HUMINT.
Perhaps the most important question is why this signaling is occurring (the likes of you and me will never know 'the truth' from any journalist source on the planet these days).
I don't think it's *just* cheap war propaganda, unless Xi decided to burn his man Pepe, throw a big middle finger at the _East Asia Journal_, and sent him this one by way of a 'resignation memo' and 'see in the work camps bitch' sort of thing. China can't be all that happy about OBOR going up in flames.
Maybe the real message to the West is 'Israel didn't actually do this and we all know that. But that doesn't mean if you try this is what Russia and China will do'
Even if 'this is all propaganda' it's every bit as big as Tucker interviewing Putin. But you won't find the 'story about the story' in the Western Press so much, will you.
