 Missing Qin Geng, the former foreign minister of China, was fired from his position; wang yi will now take his place.

Qin Geng, China's absent foreign minister for a month, was fired from his position on Tuesday. In his place, Wang Yi has been appointed. Ten years have already passed since Wang Yi became foreign minister. The state media was used as a source of information by news agency AP.

In December 2022, Qin Geng was appointed as China's foreign minister. Wang Yi, who served as foreign minister for 10 years, was replaced by Geng. Since June 25th, Geng has not been spotted in the media.

In addition, Yi Gang, the governor of the Central Bank, has been fired by the government. Pan Gongsheng will now take his place.

We have no information on Qin Geng. Office of Foreign Affairs

The meeting between Joseph Borrell, the head of foreign policy for the European Union, and China's foreign minister Qin Geng was scheduled for July 4, but it was abruptly moved up. This information was given to Borrell two days ago. The meeting's continued extension was not justified.

Reporters first inquired about Chinese Foreign Minister Geng on July 7. We have no information, was the response from the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Geng was scheduled to attend a meeting in Indonesia on July 10 and 11.

Then it was announced that he would be unable to join the gang due to his poor health. The Chinese Foreign Ministry's official website posted the transcript of it. 

The absence of China's foreign minister has two explanations.

1. A heavy-handed affair with an American TV anchor

The announcement of Geng's disappearance coincides with accusations that she had a romance with Fu Xiaotian, a reporter and TV host who is an American citizen and a Cambridge graduate. On Weibo and Baidu, the two biggest search engines in China, people are debating Qin Geng's disappearance.

Another idea making the rounds on social media sites is that Gang is under investigation for alleged extramarital affairs. The Week states that there are also rumors that Fu Xiaotian and Geng have an unmarried child together. Whereas such a relationship is outright forbidden within the Chinese Communist Party.

Jiotian gave birth to a child last year as well. Jiotian had revealed that he had a son in one of his tweets that had gone viral. He merely stated that the father of the child is of Chinese ancestry, without any other information about him.

In China, senior officials who are accused of corruption are frequently found to be involved in relationships. Profile of Geng on the website of the Chinese Foreign Ministry

In March 2022, Qin Geng was interviewed by Fu Xiaotian, who worked for the state-owned Phoenix Television, which had its headquarters in Hong Kong. 'Talk with World Leaders' is hosted by Fu Xiaotian.

More than 300 politicians, including ambassadors from 50 different nations, have been interviewed by her so far. These people include former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

The Communist Party of China expressly prevents leaders from forming such connections, according to Time magazine. When a reporter recently enquired about the rumors surrounding Geng's affair, the Chinese Foreign Ministry responded that they had no information on the subject.

The Chinese Foreign Minister and his purported lover are both said to be gone. As a result of this scandal, it is also being reported that Xi Jinping has fired China's foreign minister. Even now, Fu Xiaotian is being referred to be a double agent by some. China, however, hasn't acknowledged or refuted these rumors as of yet.

2. Jinping became offensive because of his popularity

According to experts, Chinese President Xi Jinping prioritized Wolf Warrior Diplomacy in 2022 and appointed Qin Geng as his new foreign minister, eschewing soft diplomacy. Two publications by Geng were hot topics both before and after he was appointed Foreign Minister.

Qin Geng published a piece in the American journal National Interest on December 1st, 2022. He claimed that this was not a zero sum game between China and America. In other words, neither side can advance by undermining or making the other appear inferior. After that, he was appointed China's foreign minister.

Geng published a piece in the Washington Post in January 2023 after being appointed as the second Chinese Foreign Minister. Said in it: "The doors of US-China relations are currently open." I have no doubt that Americans are as polite, accepting, and hardworking as Chinese people. Specifically, the health and stability of Sino-US relations are crucial to the destiny of the entire globe.

There was no doubt that China will maintain an open dialogue channel with the US. During his reign, Qin Geng also demonstrated this. In China, Geng's standing was rising quickly. With President Xi Jinping, he was balancing.

February 2023: On spy balloons, do not submit to America

China and America become more tense over the spy balloon. It was claimed by America that China dispatched this balloon to its border as spies. It was known as a weather reconnaissance balloon in China. It has nothing to do with espionage, it was stated.

America then used a fighter plane to bring the balloon down. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed his trip to China at that time due to this. China, despite this, resisted the urge to submit. This was sometimes referred to as the gang diplomacy strategy.

Iran and Saudi Arabia reach a peace agreement in March 2023

Iran and Saudi Arabia have reached a peace agreement. Foreign Minister Qin Geng of China received praise for this. means that via his mediation, two adversarial nations came together. America was shocked by it.

This is due to Iran and America's lack of relations following the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, has been America's most crucial Middle Eastern partner. To fight Iran, America has been employing Saudi Arabia.

China, however, changed this equation. Following this, China initiated mediation in the Israel-Palestine conflict. But this time, it didn't work out. At the same time, in March 2023, Honduras discontinued its recognition of Taiwan in response to pressure from China. This was also related to Gang's foreign policy, according to some.

Blinken, the US secretary of state, finally traveled to China. He had a meeting with Qin Geng, China's foreign minister. Following this, a statement made by Blinken was hotly debated. According to Blinken, the United States opposes Taiwan's independence.

Although the United States has backed China's One China policy, it also offers security support to Taiwan. The United States also warns China that it will have to fight alongside us if it assaults Taiwan. Giving such a Blinken comment in China in this circumstance signifies China gaining the upper hand. Growing China requires boosting Foreign Minister Geng's popularity.

In other words, Qin Geng, China's foreign minister, was becoming more and more well-liked in every aspect. After this, however, Geng abruptly vanished on June 25.

Powerful individuals have disappeared in China before.

It is not unusual for influential people to vanish in China. It has existed since the time of Mao, the man who started modern-day China. During Mao's reign, the Hundred Flowers campaign was started. People had the freedom to criticize under this.

Also requested: a list of the system's shortcomings. Following this, numerous individuals imitated it, but the person(s) responsible were never identified. In other words, those individuals were hidden.

Mao's ruse was this. He actually wanted to find out who was inside who his rivals were. Xi Jinping is allegedly using the same tactic as well.

On the list of those who have vanished in China are names of athletes, activists, and actors.

Russia laid mines in Ukraine's nuclear plant

 Russia planted mines in Ukraine's nuclear reactor, breaking the law, according to the UN; Zelensky had claimed that Russia intended to destroy the facility.

The Ukrainian nuclear power plant Zaporizhia has mines that have been planted there, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA. The IAEA's director general, Rafael Grossi, stated that Russia's action is against safety protocol. These mines are situated between the internal and external barriers in the plant's buffer zone.

The IAEA claims that during the previous inspection, their inspector had also seen mines. Laying mines within the nuclear station is against UN rules and security advice, according to a statement released on Monday by Rafael. The employees there are also under psychological pressure as a result of this.

In the event of an explosion, there is less chance that the security system will sustain damage.

The plant's security system is not anticipated to be harmed even if it bursts in the future, according to the IAEA. According to the IAEA, these mines are located in areas where staff members are not permitted to move. The Russian military is in charge of these locations.

According to Ukraine, after the Kakhovka dam, plans were made to dismantle the plant.

Ukraine accused Russia of attempting to destroy the Zaporizhia Nuclear Plant about 20 days ago. According to Ukraine, Russia has planted explosives and mines on the nuclear plant's roof. Following this, the IAEA requested to look into Ukraine's claims. Russia had requested expanded access to the nuclear reactor in exchange for this.

According to intelligence agencies cited by Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia damaged our Kakhovka dam last month. He is currently getting ready to destroy the nuclear facility. In preparation for an assault, Ukraine had also conducted drilling in the vicinity of the plant.

Wang Yi asserted that PM Modi and Chinese President Jinping reached an understanding to reestablish bilateral relations during their meeting in Bali last year. Wang Yi made a request for BYD Motors, a Chinese manufacturer of electric vehicles, to reconsider its bid to establish a plant in India after it was turned down.

China stated on the BYD project that India should reevaluate its choice.

India and China are not at war, according to Wang Yi, and New Delhi should rethink its choice. Whether the two nations cooperate or disagree with one another, it will directly affect how India-China and the world situation develop.

The two officials concurred on the need for improved ties.

It was decided to put an end to the hostility between the two diplomats at the meeting, according to the Chinese news agency Xinhua. Wang pleaded with Doval to mend the frayed ties between the two nations. Doval responded by bringing up the shared interests of the two nations.

Both officials concurred that strong bilateral ties between India and China are crucial for the advancement of both nations as well as the destiny of the entire region.

Cybersecurity and AI were also covered.

Along with this, Doval discussed the global difficulties with AI and cyber security. He claimed that when new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and the internet of things are developed, cyber dangers will become more significant. He emphasized the importance of teamwork in addressing the difficulties of the internet. Doval declared that India will always support the Global South in overcoming these obstacles.

The India-China border conflict is the most onerous challenge, according to Jaishankar.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had previously attended a BRICS conference a few days prior. He spoke with Wang Yi during this time regarding the border dispute and peace efforts. The prolonged conflict between India and China over the past three years, according to Jaishankar, has been his most challenging diplomatic situation to date.

Who knows, July of next year might turn out to be significant for Ukraine, Reznikov remarked. This is what I think. Reznikov made his statement following the NATO summit last week. The member nations had stated at the meeting that they could not admit Ukraine to NATO while the country was engaged in combat.

The NATO Council was invited to a meeting by Zelensky.

Of course, Ukraine hasn't joined NATO yet, but the other members are giving it a lot of support. On Monday, July 17, Russia canceled the grain agreement it had with Ukraine during the first round of the conflict. Zelensky has also organized a gathering of NATO nations.

Another nuclear submarine was deployed by America to South Korea.

 The United States dispatched a second nuclear submarine to South Korea, but Kim Jong officials are refusing to speak; North Korea will return the freed soldier.

On Monday, an additional nuclear submarine was dispatched by America to South Korea. She is known as USS Annapolis. This is the second nuclear submarine that America has sent to South Korea. For the first time since 1983, the US dispatched a submarine dubbed USS Kentucky to South Korea last week. North Korea had already forewarned South Korea of a nuclear attack. In addition, several missiles were launched.

North Korea had said that due to these actions of America, the risk of nuclear war in Korea is increasing. The Annapolis nuclear submarine is currently docked at Jeju Island. The main mission of Annapolis is to destroy enemy ships and submarines.

Regarding the American soldier who fled to North Korea, Kim Jong Un is mute.

According to US government representatives, Travis King, a soldier, is in danger after he went to North Korea. He claimed that despite our efforts to contact North Korea, they are not responding.

According to specialists cited by the AP, there is a good chance that North Korea won't communicate with the US for a few weeks or months. He also won't divulge any information regarding the detained American soldier. Analysts predict that North Korea may want America to cut back on its aid to South Korea in exchange for Travis King.

This is a major problem for the army, according to retired general Robert Abrams, a commander in the US Army. Although I am relieved that the North Korean troops did not shoot Travis on sight, he continued, "I am worried about Travis." Travis must be aware of the unjust and unlawful treatment of foreigners by North Korea.

Americans who previously escaped across the border into North Korea

The US and North Korea, who waged a war against one another from 1950 to 1953, do not get along well. North Korea is subject to numerous restrictions from the US. An American soldier entering North Korea over the border is a significant event in this scenario. Nevertheless, an American has before fled to North Korea.

Sergeant Charles Robert Jenkins, an American, escaped to North Korea in 1965 in order to avoid fighting in the Vietnam War. After 39 years, he was finally given permission to leave North Korea after this. He revealed that he had taught English to North Korean soldiers after his return to Japan.

Missionary from Los Angeles Robert Park crossed the border into North Korea on Christmas Day in 2009. He was shouting, "Jesus Loves North Korea," while holding the Bible in his hand. Robert Park was imprisoned by North Korea for 43 days before being expelled.
