Qin Gang: Absence of Chinese foreign minister for 3 weeks spark rumours of infidelityI Oneindia News
One of the most powerful ministers in China’s contemporary political landscape is reportedly missing since quite a while.
China’s foreign minister, Qin Gang, has not been seen in public for over three weeks, despite a flurry of high-profile diplomatic efforts to repair ties with the United States.
As a former ambassador to Washington DC, who is considered a protege of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Qin was expected to play a key role in a string of high-level visits by US officials.
But his last public appearance was a meeting with his Sri Lankan counterpart in Beijing on 25 June.
He did not join Chinese officials at talks with the Treasurysecretary, Janet Yellen, in early July, or as part of the ongoing visit by climate envoy John Kelly.
Last week Qin was replaced as head of Beijing’s delegation to the Asean summit in Indonesia.
Foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at the time that Qin would not go “due to health reasons” but gave no details.
His absence comes on the heels of a rapid rise in elite Chinese politics that saw him serve for less than two years as US ambassador, before being elevated to the post of foreign minister in December.
Delegations from Hamas and Fatah, key Palestinian factions, will convene in Beijing this month for reconciliation talks. Hamas, a resistance movement, and Fatah, a political party, aim to address longstanding issues and strengthen unity amid ongoing regional challenges.

Russian and Chinese naval forces have commenced a series of joint military exercises, titled 'Maritime Joint-2024,' in the Pacific Ocean. The three-day drills, which began near the Chinese city of Zhanjiang, aim to enhance the naval forces' capability to address security threats, maintain international and regional stability, and strengthen the strategic partnership between the two nations, according to a statement from Beijing's Defense Ministry. Two vessels from Russia’s Pacific Fleet are participating in the exercises, as reported by the fleet’s press office on Monday via TASS. The participating crews are set to conduct a range of activities, including air defence exercises, drills involving anti-submarine aviation, resupply operations while underway, and sea rescue training.

Pro-Palestinian activists released maggots and other insects at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., where Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was staying during his controversial U.S. visit. The incident, claimed by the Palestinian Youth Movement, was a protest against Israel's actions in Gaza. It coincided with Netanyahu's address to Congress and large demonstrations nearby. The hotel confirmed the event, stating it has been sanitized. This unusual protest underscores the heightened tensions surrounding Netanyahu's visit and the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lambasted Anti-Israel protesters during his Wednesday address to Congress. As thousands demonstrated in Washington, D.C., with some becoming violent, Netanyahu criticized the "Gays for Gaza" slogan used by certain protesters, calling it oxymoronic. He likened it to saying "Chickens for KFC," arguing it made no sense given the treatment of LGBTQ individuals in Gaza. Capitol Police had to use pepper spray to control the crowd.
