China replaces missing foreign minister, scrubs records of his time in office
Shortly after removing missing Foreign Minister Qin Gang from office, China moved to wipe out his records, according to reports. Background: Gang, 57, served as China’s ambassador to the U.S. from July 2021 until his promotion to minister of foreign affairs in December 2022. Since his mysterious disappearance, Qin had missed several major events — most notably an annual Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting of foreign ministers in Jakarta, which traditionally includes Beijing.
