Qin Gang: Powerful Chinese Foreign Minister fired; Move sparks more rumours I Oneindia News

According to Chinese media, the Chinese government has removed Qin Gang from the post of foreign minister and has replaced him with Wang Yi.

This has ended weeks of speculations and rumours that had started after Qin Gang was incommunicado lately.

The announcement came just a month after Qin’s last public appearance.

Earlier, the foreign ministry had said that the 57-year-old was off work for unspecified health reasons, but the lack of detailed information on his whereabouts had fuelled a swirl of speculation.

Qin Gang, was not 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.

.

His absence came 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.

Xi Jinping Planning to Step-down? New Chinese President Soon? Report Reveals SHOCKING Details

China’s President Xi Jinping has approved new Communist Party rules that could signal a shift in leadership dynamics. The Politburo’s move to standardize policymaking and delegate daily responsibilities has sparked speculation about a potential post-Xi transition. While experts caution that this isn’t a power handover, the increasing roles of senior leaders like Li Qiang, Ding Xuexiang, and Cai Qi suggest Xi may be stepping back from micromanagement. Analysts view this as an effort to institutionalize governance amid growing national and global challenges. #XiJinping #ChinaPolitics #PowerTransition #CommunistParty #LiQiang #DingXuexiang #CaiQi #ChinaLeadership #PostXiEra #BeijingPolitics #Politburo #ChineseGovernance #Macromanagement #NewChinaRules #ChinaReforms #GlobalWatch #AsiaNews #CyberPolicy #TechPolicy #FinancialReforms #XiStepsBack #China2025 #PartyControl #ChinaNews #StructuredGovernance #PowerShift #XiJinpingMoves #LeadershipTransition Also Read Trump Slaps 145% Tariffs On China As Trade War Deepens :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-slaps-145-tariffs-on-china-as-trade-war-deepens-4120591.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Praises Chinese Counterpart Xi Jinping Amid US-China Tariff Standoff, Calls Him 'Very Smart Man' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-praises-chinese-counterpart-xi-jinping-amid-us-china-tariff-standoff-calls-him-very-smart-ma-4120019.html?ref=DMDesc China, US On Collision Course As Trade Spat Fuels Geopolitical Rift; Beijing Vows To ‘Fight To The End’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-us-on-collision-course-as-trade-spat-fuels-geopolitical-rift-beijing-vows-to-fight-to-the-e-4117775.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.125~HT.408~

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~
