China’s foreign minister sacked after disappearing for a month

Qin has missed meetings with leaders from the US, Europe, South East Asia and the Pacific during that time. Rumours of an affair with Chinese state TV anchor Fu Xiaotian surfaced in April after she posted cryptic messages about her baby’s unidentified father on Chinese social media site Weibo.

Qin had also angered senior members of the Politburo and foreign affairs ministry through his quick rise and failure to turn around deteriorating relations with the US and Europe.

But he had a powerful backer in Xi, who promoted him rapidly from foreign affairs spokesman to personal aide to foreign minister.

“This situation is a serious challenge because of his formerly close relationship with Xi,” said Willy Wo-Lap Lam, a senior fellow at the Jamestown Foundation and expert on Chinese elite politics from Hong Kong.

“His helicopter ride to the top was made possible only because of Xi Jinping.”

The former ambassador to Australia, Ma Zhaoxu, is now expected to take on a more senior role as vice foreign minister.

Wang is now in charge of China’s top two diplomatic posts, making him responsible for both strategy and delivery.

The position will make him one of the most powerful foreign ministers in China’s history, but he will be serving under Xi, who could consolidate his position by moving decisively despite losing one of his most loyal lieutenants.

“For relations with the US, Europe, Asia or Australia, it will have a chilling effect,” said Lam. “Because it shows that foreign policy is subject to the whims of just one person.”
