He\u200c was a spokesman for China\u2019s Foreign Ministry from 2005\u2064 to 2010 and served as\u200c China\u2019s ambassador to the United States between 2021 and 2022. He was\u2063 one\u2063 of China\u2019s most vocal\u200c \u201cwolf diplomats.\u201d He \u200dwas combative and antagonistic and \u200dwilling to break diplomatic protocols and\u2064 damage relationships\u2063 to promote Beijing\u2019s agenda and narratives. \u2063In \u2064one\u200b of his interviews\u2063 with NPR, then-Ambassador Qin denied \u200dthat the \u2062Chinese government\u2019s treatment of Uyghur Muslims amounted to genocide.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Xi promoted Qin to minister of China\u2019s Foreign Affairs Ministry seven months ago.\u2064 Then\u200c this\u200d March, Qin was \u200belevated to\u2064 state councilor and joined the Communist Party\u2019s Central Committee. Many suspected \u200cthat Qin\u2019s rapid promotion was a\u200b sign that he had the full backing of Xi and that Xi might be \u2064grooming Qin to be \u200dhis successor.<\/p>\n<p>Before Secretary of State\u200b Antony Blinken began \u2062his trip to China, Qin blamed the U.S. for the two\u2063 nations\u2019 \u2063worsening relationship and told Blinken to \u201cstop interfering in China\u2019s internal affairs.\u201d One of \u2062Qin\u2019s employees, a Chinese Foreign Ministry\u2062 spokesman,\u200b warned, \u201cThe U.S. should not have the illusion of \u200ddealing with China from a position\u200d of strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Five days after \u200cBiden called Xi a\u2063 \u201cdictator,\u201d \u2064Qin \u2063mysteriously \u201cdisappeared\u201d from \u2062the public eye, and all his \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jill-biden-will-represent-the-united-states-at-the-tokyo-olympics-take-diplomatic-meetings\/\" title=\"Jill Biden Will Represent The United States At The Tokyo Olympics, Take Diplomatic Meetings\">scheduled diplomatic meetings<\/a> and \u2062trips have been\u2064 canceled since June 26.\u200c After being bombarded with questions about \u200bQin\u2019s whereabouts\u2062 from \u200bforeign media, one of China\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesmen mentioned that Qin experienced \u201chealth issues\u201d without \u2063elaborating on any details. Since \u200bthen, the Chinese government has not answered any questions regarding\u2064 Qin.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Chinese government\u2019s unwillingness\u2064 to offer a \u200bcredible \u2064explanation for the disappearance of \u200cits highest-ranked diplomat only fueled \u2064domestic and \u2064international rumor mills. An increasingly likely speculation promoted \u2062by \u2064longtime China watcher Bill Bishop and others is that Qin had an extramarital\u200c affair with\u2064 a well-known female \u2062TV anchor, Fu \u2062Xiaotian, who is likely in the U.S. with\u2063 the couple\u2019s love child.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Qin\u2019s political rivals probably laid \u200bbare the alleged affair to cast\u2062 doubts on his \u2064loyalty to the party, especially to \u200cXi. If \u200bthis were the case, then Qin\u2064 would be under house\u200b arrest or already in jail \u200bwhile an internal investigation occurs. We can be\u2064 sure only one man is responsible for Qin\u2019s disappearance: Xi\u2062 himself.<\/p>\n<p>Almost a month after\u2064 Qin\u2019s\u200c disappearance, \u200cthe\u2062 Chinese government announced \u200bthis week that\u2064 Qin was removed from his foreign minister position and that his \u2062former boss, Wang \u200bYi, who was elevated\u200d to the\u2063 powerful Politburo,\u200b the CCP\u2019s decision-making\u2062 body, would take over Qin\u2019s title and\u2064 responsibility. Sharp-eyed \u2064observers soon noticed that\u200b information \u200crelated to Qin has been erased from the Foreign Ministry\u2019s website. Twitter users jokingly referred to\u2063 Qin Gang as \u201cQin Gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Imagine \u2062if \u200cBlinken \u2062vanished for \u200bseveral weeks and\u2064 the White House offered no explanation. Then suddenly, Biden appointed Susan Rice, \u2063a former U.S. ambassador\u200b to the U.N., to replace Blinken. The State Department\u2019s website erased all photos and mentions\u2063 of Blinken as if he were never there. That\u2019s \u200dwhy Qin\u2019s mysterious disappearance and subsequent\u200c removal have sent shockwaves through the international diplomatic community.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The CCP is known for secrecy and lack of transparency,\u2063 especially in its decision-making \u200cprocess and\u200b personnel \u2062choices. Since its inception, the party has had a history\u2064 of\u200d fierce power struggles. Losers, often along with \u2062their families, are usually eliminated in the most horrible \u200bways.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Chairman Mao Zedong perfected this internal power struggle. He\u200c never hesitated\u2063 to forcefully\u200c remove \u2063his \u2062lieutenants, including his hand-picked successors, when he felt someone got too close to\u2063 his power center, or that \u200che\u200c needed to make an example\u2062 out of somebody to warn others. Several of his top generals were \u2062tortured to death during the \u2064Cultural Revolution. Mao\u2019s heir-apparent, \u2062Lin Biao, and several of his family members were\u200d killed in\u2062 a mysterious plane crash\u2063 in \u20641972.<\/p>\n<p>Xi \u200cis the most authoritarian leader China has had\u200d since Mao. Xi modeled his dictatorial rule after Mao\u2019s: \u200cHe adopted \u200dthe Maoist cult of \u200cpersonality, \u200chaving his \u2063books and portraits displayed beside Mao\u2019s. Xi purged his rivals and became\u2064 the chairman of everything through the so-called anti-corruption campaign. In 2017, Xi abolished the presidential term limit established by his predecessor, Deng Xiaoping, and became China\u2019s\u2063 dictator for life.<\/p>\n<p>Xi is especially fond of \u2064\u201cdisappearing\u201d people, from well-known business\u2062 tycoons to actresses, sports stars, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-biden-took-donations-from-lobbyist-for-nso-group\/\" title=\"Report: Biden took donations from lobbyist for NSO Group\">human rights activists<\/a>, religious believers, and \u2064government\u200c officials. Businessman Jack Ma, \u200cthe\u200c founder \u200bof China\u2019s most successful e-commerce company Alibaba,\u2064 was allowed\u200c to \u201creappear\u201d after he gave up control of his company. But former\u2064 Interpol President Meng Hongwei was sentenced to more than a \u200bdecade in prison after vanishing on\u200d a trip to China.<\/p>\n<p>Through the \u201cdisappearing\u201d and controlled \u201creappearing\u201d of prominent figures \u2062and\u200b dissidents,\u2064 Xi \u2064makes it clear he alone is in charge \u200band will mercilessly eliminate any real or \u200bimagined threat. Everyone else is expendable, including the dictator\u2019s once-closest lieutenants. \u200dXi probably hasn\u2019t realized \u200d(or maybe he doesn\u2019t care) how much the\u2062 secrecy and abruptness of \u2064Qin\u2019s removal have damaged China\u2019s international reputation and Chinese officials\u2019 credibility.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>One China watcher told the\u2063 South China Morning Post: \u201cIf\u200c a vice-national-level leader can just\u2064 disappear \u2062without much of an \u2062explanation, people find it difficult to\u200b trust and count on any Chinese leader or official and their positions. \u2026\u200b [The incident] \u200b casts \u2062much\u2062 uncertainty and confusion over the consistency, stability, and credibility of Beijing\u2019s\u2062 decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Qin saga will likely further erode investors\u2019 confidence in China when China desperately needs foreign investment to rescue its faltering economy and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/xi-jinpings-disappearing-acts-leave-no-doubt-hes-a-dictator\/\" title=\"Xi Jinping's actions clearly demonstrate his dictatorial nature.\">stubbornly high youth unemployment\u2063 rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The lesson for the Biden administration\u2062 is that it must stop treating Xi as\u2063 if \u2064he were\u200c a regular \u200bhead of state. Biden was right\u2063 to call Xi a\u2064 dictator. When\u2063 Biden administration\u2064 officials \u2062visit China, they should stop bowing\u2062 to Xi\u200d and his underlings and begging for cooperation on issues that matter little\u2064 to Xi, \u2062such as climate change and the control of fentanyl exports.<\/p>\n<p>A dictator \u200cwho is cruel to \u200bhis own people \u2064doesn\u2019t care about our people\u2019s well-being. He\u200b will \u200dnot hesitate to harm America and our allies\u2019 interests. The sooner the Biden administration recognizes the true nature of Xi and his regime and develops appropriate\u2063 policy responses,\u200d the better \u2062we can protect ourselves and our allies.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After President Biden labeled Xi Jinping a &#8220;dictator&#8221; at a recent fundraiser, Beijing strongly objected, deeming the comments &#8220;absurd,&#8221; &#8220;irresponsible,&#8221; and a political provocation.
