China’s ‘wolf warrior’ foreign minister ill, to miss ASEAN summit

Al Jazeera  

Wang Yi, a former foreign minister, will take his place at the summit in Indonesia, a spokesman for the ministry said. “State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang is unable to attend this series of foreign ministers’ meetings due to health reasons,” Wang said at a daily briefing. Wang Yi, a former foreign minister and current head of the ruling Communist Party’s Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, will represent China at the meetings on Thursday and Friday, spokesperson Wang said. Wang will attend the China-ASEAN foreign ministers’ meeting, the ASEAN-China-Japan-South Korea foreign ministers’ meeting, the East Asia Summit foreign ministers’ meeting and the ASEAN Regional Forum foreign ministers’ meeting. “China hopes this meeting will help build more consensus, make political preparation for a fruitful ASEAN leaders’ summit in September, and promote regional peace, stability and prosperity.” Qin, 57, rose to prominence as an outspoken ministry spokesperson who popularised an aggressive in-your-face style that came to be known as “wolf warrior diplomacy”, after the name of a nationalistic Chinese movie franchise.
