China replaces foreign minister Qin after mysterious absence FMTNews FMTWorld
Newly appointed foreign minister Wang Yi represented China at a national security advisers’ meeting of BRICS countries.
The ministry has said he was off work for health reasons without giving details, sparking speculation and drawing attention to the secrecy often surrounding China’s Communist leadership and decision making. US secretary of state Antony Blinken met Qin on June 18, on the first visit by the US’ top diplomat to China in five years. The US state department said then they held “candid, substantive, and constructive” talks and Blinken invited Qin to Washington to continue discussions.Chinese state media did not say why Qin was removed and China’s foreign ministry did not respond to a request for comment. Xi signed a presidential order to make the decision effective, state news agency Xinhua reported.
“We will continue to engage with Foreign Minister Wang Yi and other Chinese officials, and we continue to believe that keeping lines of communication incredibly important,” he said. He was posted to Washington as ambassador in July 2021, after a period of unusual public vitriol between US and Chinese officials.
Wang was promoted last year to the politburo of the Chinese Communist Party, one of China’s top leadership bodies.
