Is there an ulterior motive behind the rumor?

This morning, a rumor about the Chinese Navy’s nuclear-powered submarine being in an accident near Taiwan spread on social media. Taiwan’s National Defense Ministry said no confirmed evidence supports the report. So, was it just a rumor or something really happened? But the timing of the story is noteworthy as Xi Jinping is in South Africa attending the BRICS Summit. Is it part of the anti-Xi campaign going after the CCP leader?
