China has removed outspoken foreign minister Qin Gang from office and replaced him with his predecessor, Wang Yi.
In an announcement on Tuesday evening, state media gave no reason for Qin’s removal, but it comes after he dropped out of sight almost one month ago amid speculation over his personal affairs and political rivalries.
