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 Treasury secretary, 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.

Beijing Says ‘No Call’ With Trump Despite White House Claims | Slams U.S. ‘Discriminatory Actions’

The U.S.-China tariff conflict continues to escalate as China denies any plans for a phone call between President Xi Jinping and President Trump, contradicting White House claims. With trade tensions rising after Trump’s global tariffs and accusations of China violating agreements, both nations remain locked in a standoff.

Saudi Arabia Ditch Trump For Putin | MBS Wants Russia In Middle East Not USA | Here's Why!!!

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russia’s role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russia’s involvement as “always welcome,” underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game — balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. #SaudiArabia #Russia #Lavrov #FaisalBinFarhan #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #Putin #RussiaSaudiTies #Diplomacy #Moscow #SaudiFM #RussiaNews #GulfPolitics #BRICS #SaudiRussiaRelations #MiddleEastPolicy #EnergyPolitics #GlobalSouth #ForeignAffairs #WorldNews ~HT.410~ED.420~

‘Only Dalai Lama Decides!’: India SLAMS China’s Bid To Pick Next Dalai Lama | XI RATTLED by Pushback

India has made its position unequivocally clear on the contentious issue of the 14th Dalai Lama's succession, pushing back firmly against China's aggressive claims. In a significant statement, India stressed that the right to choose the next Dalai Lama rests solely with the current Dalai Lama himself and the established traditions. This comes as a direct response to China's Foreign Ministry, which has repeatedly insisted that the selection process must conform to "Chinese laws and historical practice." The Dalai Lama has consistently rejected Beijing's interference. He has designated the Gaden Phodrang Trust, his formal office, as the ultimate authority in identifying and confirming his successor. Indian Union Minister Kiren Rijiju echoed this sentiment, stating that the succession must honor the age-old traditions and the personal wishes of the Dalai Lama. This high-stakes diplomatic standoff has reignited fears among Tibetans in exile, who have long warned that China may attempt to install a "fake" Dalai Lama to solidify its control over Tibet and undermine the Tibetan freedom movement. Living in exile in India since fleeing Chinese repression in 1959, the Dalai Lama remains a global icon of peace, despite Beijing's relentless campaign to label him a separatist. As early as 2011, he cautioned the world that Beijing would likely try to manipulate his reincarnation for political gain. With India now taking a public and resolute stand, the future of one of the world's most revered spiritual leaderships hangs in the balance. #DalaiLama #IndiaChina #Tibet #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #India #China #KirenRijiju #WorldNews #OneindiaNews Also Read India and the Dalai Lama: A Bond Rooted In Tradition, Tested by Geopolitics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-and-the-dalai-lama-a-bond-rooted-in-tradition-tested-by-geopolitics-7790117.html?ref=DMDesc The Battle for a Soul: Dalai Lama’s Rebirth Sparks Fresh Tensions with China; Beijing Reacts By Saying... :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/the-battle-for-a-soul-dalai-lama-s-rebirth-sparks-fresh-tensions-with-china-beijing-reacts-by-sayi-7789273.html?ref=DMDesc Dalai Lama Says Gaden Phodrang Trust Will Decide His Successor :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/dalai-lama-says-gaden-phodrang-trust-will-decide-his-successor-7788985.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Trump’s “Big, Beautiful” BILL Explained: Why Everyone Is MAD Over BBB|Cuts for Rich, Chaos for Poor? [Video]

Trump’s “Big, Beautiful” BILL Explained: Why Everyone Is MAD Over BBB|Cuts for Rich, Chaos for Poor?

A massive new tax and spending bill, championed by Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," has cleared major congressional hurdles and is now facing a final, contentious vote. The legislation proposes a sweeping overhaul of the US economy, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting defense and energy spending and allocating new funds for border security. This move has ignited a political firestorm in Washington D.C., creating deep divisions not only between parties but within the Republican ranks and even straining Trump's relationship with high-profile supporters like Elon Musk. The funding for this ambitious bill is at the heart of the controversy. The Republican proposal outlines deep cuts to essential social safety nets, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other low-income assistance programs. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these changes could result in nearly 12 million Americans losing their health coverage. The bill also introduces new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults to receive Medicaid and SNAP benefits. The financial implications are staggering. The bill is projected to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, a figure that has caused alarm and division among fiscal conservatives in the GOP. Social Democrats like Bernie Sanders have fiercely condemned the bill, labeling it a "handout to Trump’s rich allies." In a tense Senate session, Vice President JD Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote to advance the legislation. Despite the backlash, the bill contains provisions aimed at working-class voters, such as eliminating federal taxes on tips and overtime pay. However, House Democrats have blasted the legislation as a "reckless, regressive GOP tax scam" ahead of the crucial midterm elections. As the final vote looms, Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to "stay united" and pass the bill, which also includes a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. #DonaldTrump #USTaxBill #USPolitics #ElonMusk #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #Americanews #Republicans #Democrats #BernieSanders Also Read America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc How Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Tax Bill Could Benefit Indians Living in the US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-donald-trump-big-beautiful-tax-bill-could-benefit-indians-living-in-the-us-7790321.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambitious One Big Beautiful Bill Promises To Bring Sweeping Changes to American Life :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ambitious-one-big-beautiful-bill-promises-to-bring-sweeping-changes-to-american-life-7789991.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.346~GR.122~

Rubio’s Funny Banter About Jaishankar at QUAD Meet Goes Viral | Jaishankar Scolds US Over Terrorism At the QUAD Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Washington D.C., U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio jokingly called Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar a “very busy guy,” noting his constant travel. Jaishankar, alongside diplomats from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., took a firm stance on global terrorism—referencing the recent Pahalgam attack. He warned against equating victims and perpetrators, subtly addressing U.S. policy on Pakistan. The QUAD emphasized Indo-Pacific security, while Jaishankar also met with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to deepen bilateral defense ties, calling the partnership one of the “most consequential” today. #Jaishankar #MarcoRubio #QUAD #IndiaUSRelations #IndoPacific #ForeignPolicy #PahalgamAttack #GlobalTerrorism #SJaishankar #PeteHegseth #USIndiaDefense #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #QUADSummit #Australia #Japan #India #UnitedStates #InternationalRelations #StrategicPartnership #DefenseTies #SouthAsiaSecurity #RubioJokes #BusyDiplomat Also Read US Secretary Of State Marco Rubio Speaks To S Jaishankar, Pak PM To De-Escalate Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-secretary-of-state-marco-rubio-speaks-to-s-jaishankar-pak-pm-to-de-escalate-tensions-4140111.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk-Marco Rubio Clash Over Staff Cuts In Explosive Meeting In Trump's Presence; US Prez Denies Blow Up :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-marco-rubio-clash-over-staff-cuts-in-explosive-meeting-in-trumps-presence-us-prez-denies-4089603.html?ref=DMDesc
