China replaces foreign minister a month after he went ‘missing’ from public view

Live Mint  

Chinese diplomat Wang Yi was named foreign minister on Tuesday - a month after his predecessor went ‘missing’ from his duties. Qin's last last public appearance was on June 25 for a meeting with Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ali Sabry in Beijing. “State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang is unable to attend this series of foreign ministers’ meetings due to health reasons,” Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a daily briefing in mid-July. Industry minister Xiao Yaqing disappeared from public view for nearly a month last year before it was revealed he was being investigated for corruption.
