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.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will stand alongside Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping at Beijing’s massive “Victory Day” military parade next week, marking a rare international appearance for the reclusive leader. China’s foreign ministry confirmed Kim’s attendance, calling it a symbol of the nations’ “traditional friendship.” The parade, marking 80 years since China’s war against Japan and the end of World War Two, will showcase thousands of troops, tanks, aircraft, and new anti-drone systems. For Xi, hosting Kim and Putin in Beijing is a major diplomatic win, signaling China’s central role in global geopolitics at a time when US President Donald Trump pushes for talks with both leaders. South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung has also been invited, raising the possibility of a rare North-South encounter. The spectacle will be closely watched as China displays power and positions itself as the key player in Asia’s balance of power.

In a fiery intervention at the United Nations, China accused Israel of being the “occupying power” in Gaza and demanded an immediate halt to its plans to seize Palestinian land. Speaking at the UN, Chinese Deputy Permanent Representative Geng Shuang warned that Israel’s intentions would further inflame regional tensions and undermine peace efforts. He sharply criticized Israel for showing “low political will” toward any genuine action for peace, accusing Tel Aviv of escalating the conflict instead of resolving it. China reaffirmed its support for a two-state solution and emphasized the urgent need for the international community to hold Israel accountable. The strong remarks mark one of Beijing’s boldest positions yet on the Gaza crisis, underscoring its growing influence in Middle East diplomacy. Israel has yet to respond formally, but the comments highlight widening global divisions over Gaza and the future of the Palestinian territories.

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei.
The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing.
This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert.

In a stunning political moment, Vice President JD Vance declared he is “ready to become President” if tragedy ever strikes Donald Trump’s presidency. His remarks come as speculation over Trump’s health intensifies, after viral images showed swelling in his legs and a deep bruise on his hand during a meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. The White House insisted the marks were caused by forceful handshakes, daily aspirin, and a benign condition — chronic venous insufficiency — common among men in their 70s. Still, the images fueled heated debate over Trump’s fitness. While stressing confidence that Trump will finish his term, Vance said his 200 days as Vice President have been “the best training possible” for the highest office. His dramatic statement has added fuel to Washington’s anxieties as questions swirl about succession, leadership, and America’s political future.

The United States has temporarily lifted certain sanctions on Russian transactions to facilitate historic peace talks in Alaska between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Aug. 15. The move, authorized by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, allows specific transactions otherwise banned under Russia-related sanctions—strictly for organizing the summit.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may join follow-up discussions, with Trump expected to push Putin toward a Ukraine ceasefire. Reports suggest Trump will offer an economic package including access to Alaska’s natural resources, easing aviation sanctions, and rare earth mineral rights in occupied Ukrainian territories. The temporary authorization expires Aug. 20, with the White House calling the meeting a “listening exercise” and a potential breakthrough.
