bikejournoSo after having gone missing in 2023, #China's former foreign minister #QinGang is out with a bang now. The #CCP has expelled him from it's leading organs. Officially he *asked for his Resignation himself*. Yeah, sure after having disappeared for a full year. Nobody is safe in #XiJinping's dark empire with Chinese characteristics. #humanrights #repression #ruleoflaw
The Japan TimesChina indicated its legislature will refrain from announcing any personnel moves during its meeting this week, meaning Wang Yi will likely remain in the role for at least the near future. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/04/asia-pacific/politics/china-npc-foreign-minister/ #asiapacific #politics #china #qingang #wangyi

To kolejna czystka w wojsku i wszystko wskazuje, że na tym się nie skończy, a niechęć korpusu oficerskiego skupi się na nowym ministrze, który może odegrać w przyszłości rolę piorunochronu. Nic dziwnego, że nikt się nie pali do tej roboty. Trudności ze znalezieniem następcy dla Liu Shengfu mogą także wskazywać na problemy samego Xi Jinping.

Xi Jinping and China could be in trouble — at least that’s what the headlines could lead one to conclude. But the real story is far more complicated. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/10/13/asia-pacific/politics/xi-jinping-top-officials-analysis/?utm_content=buffer3f0ab&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #asiapacific #politics #china #xijinping #ccp #lishangfu #qingang

Martin HollandWhy You Should Worry About #China’s Missing #Minister
If the world’s best China experts can’t figure out what happened to one of the country’s most internationally recognizable officials, then imagine what else remains hidden behind the #regime’s closed doors.
"The disappearance of Chinese Foreign Minister #QinGang has generated a torrent of speculation about what might have happened to him. The mystery points to a larger, and disconcerting, truth: We understand very little about the inner workings of Chinese #politics at a moment when we need to know more than ever."
