China's Foreign Minister Qin Gang was removed from office on Tuesday, state media reported, after disappearing from the public eye for a month with little explanation from the ruling Communist Party.
Xinhua did not give a reason for Qin's removal but said Xi had signed a presidential order to enact the decision. "The CCP system is so opaque that it nurtured the rumors," Moritz Rudolf from Yale Law School's Paul Tsai China Center told AFP. "It could be also a sign that this was not a product of displeasure with his work or any disciplinary violation but rather a health issue which prevents him from carrying out the intense role," he said.
