China: 'Wang Yi, new head of diplomacy'

There has been no news of Qin Gang for over a month. There has been talk of health problems, but Beijing has never clarified the reasons for his prolonged absence. Today it is known that he is no longer the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China. In his place was appointed Wang Yi, former director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, in fact the highest internal diplomatic post.
