No, there was a hypothesis that if everyone in China was to jump at the same time, they would knock us out of orbit. I don't think they found this to be true.
It's impossible due to Newton's Third Law. They would affect the Earth equally (but oppositely) as much by jumping up as they would when they land back down again, thus cancelling everything out.
