Not only the sudden dismissal of the foreign minister, but also the footsteps of internal collapse creeping into the administration

In addition to the dismissal of Foreign Minister Qin Gang, there is a view that the “Great Purge” by President Xi Jinping has begun.
Even within the Rocket Army, there are rumors one after another that executives have been kidnapped, committed suicide, and have been interrogated.
Sino-US relations are becoming more and more dangerous as it is said to be suspected of leaking confidential information to the United States.

Where did Qin Gang go? It’s Qincheng!
I saw such an unscrupulous rant on the internet. Qincheng is the Qincheng Prison on the outskirts of Beijing. Qincheng is also the place where Bo Xilai, who was overthrown in a coup attempt, was imprisoned. Qiu Xiaohua, the chief culprit in the embezzlement of social insurance funds in Shanghai in 2006, was also served in Qincheng Prison. The sudden downfall of an incumbent cabinet minister was a big shock at this time as well. However, the sudden dismissal of the incumbent foreign minister, Qin Gang, is an even bigger incident.
On July 25, the NPC Standing Committee deliberated, passed, and announced the dismissal of Qin Gang as Foreign Minister. The reason for his dismissal has not yet been revealed. The position of State Councilor is still pending, and there are rumors that he may have suffered a sudden illness such as cirrhosis or cerebral infarction, but if it turns out that he has committed some kind of crime, it would still be Qincheng. Will I be served?
The future functioning of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot be taken lightly. Normally, Vice Foreign Minister Ma Chao Xu would be promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs, but Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo, who has a higher position than Minister of Foreign Affairs, will also serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs, which is a lower rank. Some media outlets used the expression “returned”, but for Wang Yi, who has already entered the leadership, he was forced to take on subordinates’ work that he did not originally need to do.
Why can’t I leave it to Ma Chao Xu? because he is incompetent? Or is there still a possibility that Qin Gang’s subordinate Ma Chao Xu was involved? Is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so understaffed that it should ask Wang Yi to serve concurrently as foreign minister?
In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not alone in this kind of anomaly. Around the same time, it also happened in the Liberation Army Rocket Force.
