Missing Foreign Minister Fired: Did Secret Love Hurt Your Head?

According to the Xinhua news agency, with the decision made at the 4th session of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People’s Congress, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Governor of the Central Bank of China changed.

The committee ousted China’s foreign minister, who had not appeared in public for some time, and appointed Wang as his replacement. Central Bank Governor Yi Gang was also ousted and replaced by Pan Gongshing.

The newly appointed minister was alleged to have a secret crush on Fu Xiaotian, a Hong Kong broadcaster.

Chinese President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree confirming the decisions made.
On the other hand, the Chinese Foreign Ministry did not rule on the situation of the former minister in China.

LOST SINCE JUNE 25

At a time when China’s diplomatic contacts increased, it came to attention that Foreign Minister China Gang, who was sacked today, has not appeared before the public since June 25.

According to allegations on social media, it is claimed that China has been secretly in love with Hong Kong broadcaster Fu Xiaotian for a while.

Appointed foreign minister in December 2022, China did not appear before the public after a press conference after meeting with officials from Sri Lanka, Russia and Vietnam in Beijing on June 25.

Discussions about the Minister’s absence were reportedly censored on the Chinese social media site Weibo, with journalist and analyst Phil Cunningham saying that five paragraphs about the Chinese Minister were removed from his South China Morning Post (SCMP) article on US-China relations without informing him.

Chinese experts have claimed that China’s relationship with a Hong Kong speaker may be behind the situation in question.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) foreign minister-level meeting held in the Indonesian capital Jakarta from July 11 to 14 was attended by Director of the Office of the CPC Central Commission on Foreign Affairs Vang Yi instead of China Gang.

It was claimed that China was unable to attend the ASEAN meeting due to health issues.

The minister also failed to attend meetings with US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen from July 6 to 9, as well as the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare on July 10.

The visit of the High Representative for Foreign Relations and Security Policy of the European Union (EU), Josep Borrell, scheduled for July 10 in Beijing, is cancelled. (AA)
