China’s foreign minister, who was off the radar for a month, was fired


Qin Gang, China’s foreign minister, was removed from office.

He has not appeared in public since June 25.

His predecessor Wang Yi takes over.

In China, his absence has fueled rumors for several days. Qin Gang, the foreign minister of Xi Jinping’s government, has been removed from office, the official Chinese government news agency said, without specifying the reasons for the dismissal. The official did not appear in public for a month and met with his Vietnamese counterpart in Beijing.

Several diplomatic meetings missed in July

He has since missed several diplomatic meetings, including an important Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting in Indonesia in early July. The disappearance, which spawned a lot of rumors on social media, has ignited discussions among the Chinese and increased pressure on the authorities, who have evaded many questions about the matter. Only “for health“was eventually put forward by the Foreign Office as an excuse for his absence, before the institution sank into virtual silence.
