The U.S. ambassador to Japan questioned in a social media post on Friday whether China's defence minister had been placed under house arrest, adding to confusion about the state councillor's two week absence from public view.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Rahm Emanuel wrote: "1st: Defense Minister Li Shangfu hasn't been seen or heard from in 3 weeks. 2nd: He was a no-show for his trip to Vietnam. Now: He’s absent from his scheduled meeting with the Singaporean Chief of Navy because he was placed on house arrest???"
China's foreign and defence ministries did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The U.S. embassy in Tokyo said it did not immediately have further comment.of a meeting with Vietnamese defence leaders last week. The U.S government believes Li has been placed under investigation, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing three U.S. officials and two people briefed on the intelligence. The report did not state the nature of the investigation.
The Singapore Navy's Rear Admiral Sean Wat was in China from Sept. 4-9 and met the PLA Navy commander Dong Jun and other Navy leaders, Singapore's defence ministry said on its website. The website made no mention of him meeting or being scheduled to meet Li.
