Rumors Erupt in the Mysterious Vanishing of China’s Top Diplomat
Qin Gang, China’s foreign minister, has been missing from the public eye for approximately three weeks, fueling speculation about his whereabouts.
Qin didn’t show at an annual meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Indonesia last week. He also canceled a meeting with the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, around the same time.
An EU spokesperson said they were informed the dates were “no longer possible” and provided no further explanation.
