BEIJING – One month after Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, 57, abruptly disappeared from the public eye, the government has continued to be tight-lipped on his whereabouts, saying on Monday only that China’s diplomatic activities are “steadily moving forward”.
While the foreign ministry has maintained that it is business as usual for the country’s diplomatic affairs, at least two meetings had been postponed because Mr Qin was unable to attend, raising questions over whether China’s foreign relations at a time when it is on a campaign to win friends or mend fences could be hit.
The European Union’s foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell also abruptly cancelled his scheduled trip to the Chinese capital city on July 10 after being told by Chinese officials they could not host him at that time.and current first-ranked Vice-Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu, who is the most likely man to succeed Mr Qin if he is no longer able to serve.
He was said to have also been vying for both the job of ambassador to the United States and later foreign minister – both of which went to Mr Qin. While the foreign ministry seems to be functioning as usual given Mr Wang and Mr Ma’s contributions, China’s diplomatic image has been tarnished, given that the ministry’s spokesmen “claim not to know about their own superior’s well-being or whereabouts”, said Dr James Char, a China scholar at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.
China’s foreign policy or strategy will not be swayed by any specific personnel change as it was determined at last year’s party congress, said Dr Chen Gang, a senior research fellow at the National University of Singapore’s East Asian Institute.
