Li Shangfu & Qin Gang have not appeared in public for over 6 months. Li’s name as a member of communist party's military commission is gone from MoD site. Qin resigned from legislature.
Qin's unusually long & unexplained absence, his abruptly cut-short tenure, as well as other strange happenings like the ministry's website, mean speculation will continue to swirl.
Qin Gang, often referred to as ‘Warrior Gang’ at Chinese foreign ministry, was one of China's youngest foreign ministers. He has been replaced by his predecessor Wang Yi.
Qin was missing from public eye since 25 June. The Communist Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is said to have questioned him on his alleged affair.
