[The Epoch Times, December 09, 2023](Reported by Epoch Times reporters Ning Haizhong and Luo Ya) Recently, the US media broke the news that Qin Gang, the former foreign minister of the Chinese Communist Party, may have died of suicide or torture in July. The authenticity of this news has sparked controversy. Some analysts believe that the news of Qin Gang’s death is full of doubts, highlighting that the CCP leader Xi Jinping is in chaos, and that a coup against Xi may be brewing within the party.
US media broke the news of Qin Gang’s death. Senior media professionals analyzed six major doubts
The European edition of the American media Politico published an unsigned report on December 6, citing information purportedly from within the Chinese Communist Party, saying that when Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko visited China at the end of June Reported to Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping, claiming that Qin Gang had rebelled with the top brass of the Rocket Force and leaked the Chinese Communist Party’s nuclear secrets to Western intelligence agencies. Qin Gang died of suicide or torture in late July at a military hospital in Beijing that serves senior leaders of the Chinese Communist Party.
In late July, news of Qin Gang’s “death” spread widely on the Internet. Rumors at the time claimed that Qin Gang died of “hepatic necrosis”, “suicide” or “death by injection”, etc. The place of death was pointed out to be Beijing 301 Hospital.
Many people on the Internet have doubts about the US media report that Qin Gang is dead. Yan Chungou, a senior Hong Kong media person, posted on Facebook on December 8 that there were six major doubts about Qin Gang’s death.
The first suspicion is that Qin has just climbed to the position of Foreign Minister of the Communist Party of China. At a time when his official career is prosperous and popular, how much material inducement would the Americans have to provide to him to risk his own wealth and life? It is unlikely that he will be involved in a spy case.
The second suspicion is that Qin Gang and senior Rocket Force officials sold nuclear weapons secrets, which is said to be a spy nest case involving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military. However, the barriers between different departments of the CCP are so tight that it is impossible to establish such a dangerous cooperative relationship.
Question three: It is said that nuclear weapons secrets were provided to the United States by the son of the deputy minister of the Rocket Force. However, the secrets of the Rocket Force must be the highest level of top secret. It is impossible for a deputy minister to bring it home and ask his son to go abroad to present it as a treasure.
The fourth doubt is that the United States must treat these top secret documents obtained by the CCP as top secrets. It is impossible for Russian spies to get the information, and it is impossible for the CCP to be gullible.
The fifth suspicion is that Qin Gang was imprisoned in the 301 Hospital and must have been under strict supervision. It is unlikely that he would have had the chance to commit suicide. The CCP is cruel and cunning, and there are ways to use torture to make the person suffer without causing death.
Question 6: The Qin Gang case is full of doubts. Why did the American media easily disclose the death of Qin Gang from the so-called Chinese Communist Party as major news?
Yan Chungou said that if the American media was deliberately “fed” by the CCP, it would prove that the Qin Gang case was by no means a matter of leaking secrets. There must be another unspeakable secret. The incident should involve an even more ugly and unspeakable inside story, and the public attention must be diverted.
Qin Gang’s case is accused of internal strife. Scholar: Some people are afraid that Qin Gang is alive.
Regarding the news of Qin Gang’s death, Wu Zuolai, a scholar in the United States, told The Epoch Times on December 8 that it was someone who broke the news overseas to kill his opponent.
“Who in the system is most afraid of Qin Gang’s survival? Of course it’s the Wolf Warriors Group. The intensive spread of Qin Gang’s stories this time should be intentional. Qin was brought up by Xi personally to check and balance the diplomatic Wolf Warriors. He is a powerful man, and he stepped down because of his personal feelings. As long as Xi doesn’t say anything, no one will torture him to extract a confession. Look, how far rumors can fly.”
Regarding Qin Gang’s accident, it was previously reported that Qin Gang was involved in scandals such as extramarital affairs and espionage. Some sources also claimed that Qin Gang’s accident occurred due to internal strife in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On July 17, Yuan Hongbing, a legal scholar living in Australia, revealed to The Epoch Times that Qin Gang once competed with Wang Yi for power. Wang Yi believed that Qin Gang was responsible for events such as the US spy balloon incident that put the CCP on a diplomatic passive side, and that Qin Gang was ousted. Some of the people Wang Yi re-employed, the most well-known of them is Zhao Lijian. These all touched Wang Yi’s interests, and the power struggle between the two people reached the point of incompatibility.
Qin Gang was also accused of “not liking each other” with Xie Feng, who succeeded him as the Chinese ambassador to the United States this year. On July 19, at the Aspen Security Forum in the United States, when Xie Feng was asked by the host, “Where is Qin Gang,” the Foreign Minister of the Chinese Communist Party, Xie Feng replied, “Let us wait and see,” and then laughed out loud.
Hu Liren, a former Shanghai entrepreneur, also told The Epoch Times on the 8th that Qin Gang’s life and death no longer mattered. He was just like a dead person. But this incident can at least illustrate that the Chinese Communist Party’s political arena is now in a situation of killing each other. “This has been the case throughout the history of the Communist Party. As a dictator, he will definitely bring down many people around him. Xi Jinping is a very suspicious person like Mao Zedong.”
Analysis: The frequent ouster of close associates of Xi Jinping has caused chaos within the party and may be brewing a coup.
In addition to Qin Gang, Li Shangfu was recently removed from the post of Minister of Defense after his disappearance, and a large number of generals in the Rocket Army were rumored to be in trouble. Politico reported that the detention of these officials cast doubt on the internal stability of the Chinese Communist regime.
Yan Chun Gou’s aforementioned article also said that Qin Gang’s life and death, as well as the long-term vacancies of Foreign Minister and Defense Minister, must be explained to the public and justified. These are difficult problems. “After Qin and Li stepped down, it shouldn’t be too difficult to fill the vacancy. However, Xi Jinping is in chaos, suspicions have arisen, and the interests within the party are not balanced. The party-state has begun to enter a driverless state.”
He said that within the Chinese Communist Party system, after Xi Jinping took full power and dictatorship, the most serious and intolerable case must be the political case of conspiring to overthrow Xi Jinping. Is it possible that the party is planning a coup against Xi Jinping? It would have been difficult, but when Xi Jinping squanders the party’s interests at will, putting the CCP in a precarious position, directly endangering the lives and fortunes of the second generation of red people and serving and retired senior officials, then opposition forces will have the opportunity to take hold. It is also possible for political careerists to make a desperate attempt to replace Xi Jinping.
Hu Liren also told The Epoch Times that whether Qin Gang died or not is not important. What deserves more attention now is whether different factions will attack Xi Jinping. This may be an inflection point for China.
He believes that Xi’s dictatorship has hit many people inside and outside the party, especially other factions, including the second generation red generation, who are unwilling to do so. “It is very likely that China will undergo major political changes within the next two years, provided that Xi Jinping steps down or is killed, which is entirely possible.”
Hu Liren, who originally ran a business in Shanghai, came to the United States at the end of 2018 and settled on the coast of Florida.
Hu Liren said that he had known for a long time that Xi Jinping was afraid of death. When Xi Jinping arrived in Shanghai in 2018, he had a five-kilometer security circle. “He participated in an event and cleared everything within five kilometers. About 20,000 police and soldiers were deployed for the entire security work. , Shanghai’s security personnel are unable to enter one kilometer away from his core security circle.”
