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.
China's leader is anticipated to solidify several agreements with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, further cementing Beijing's economic presence in the region.

French President Emmanuel Macron clarified on Monday that the US and its allies have no intentions of seeking regime change in Russia. However, Paris remains committed to supporting Kiev in its ongoing conflict with Moscow, pledging continued aid for as long as necessary.
Macron's remarks came during a joint press conference with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Elysee Palace, where they engaged in discussions alongside the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Among the topics addressed were the Ukraine conflict, bilateral trade, and economic relations between France and China.
In his statements, Macron emphasised the importance of dialogue and cooperation in addressing global challenges, underscoring the need for diplomatic solutions to complex geopolitical issues.

China's President Xi Jinping is embarking on a rare visit to Paris, with French President Emmanuel Macron poised to address pressing issues such as trade imbalances and seek Chinese support regarding the conflict in Ukraine. However, achieving these objectives during Xi's brief two-day visit to France will prove challenging, given the backdrop of escalating trade tensions between Europe and China. France is actively supporting a European Union investigation into Chinese exports of electric vehicles, while Beijing's recent initiation of an inquiry into brandy imports, predominantly from France, is widely perceived as retaliatory. Against this backdrop, Macron's administration is keen to emphasise the necessity of obtaining further assurances from Chinese authorities on trade matters. Xi's visit marks his first trip to Europe in half a decade, underscoring the significance of the occasion.
