After the Chinese Communist Party's Politburo meeting on June 27, both former and current State Councilors and Defense Ministers, Wei Fenghe and Li Shangfu, were expelled from the party, while former State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang, who has been missing for a while, still has no news. Hong Kong media speculates he may have a 'safe landing'. Several high-ranking CCP officials also had their positions reshuffled, involving multiple provinces. Qin Gang disappeared suddenly at the end of June last year and subsequently was relieved of his positions, including Foreign Minister, State Councilor, and 'resignation' from the National People's Congress deputy. The media believes that his issues 'may not be serious' and he might 'land safely'. Wei Fenghe, who fell from power, had a recent incident involving the sending of a wreath to mourn the late former Vice Chairman of the NPC, Wuyunguimuge, leading to speculations of a possible mix-up. The CCP 20th Central Committee will convene in mid-July, with official adjustments made to leadership positions in five provinces, involving five Central Committee members. Additionally, the NPC formally appointed Lei Haichao as the director of the Health Commission. This article reports on the recent political developments and speculations surrounding Qin Gang and other officials in China.
