Qin Gang disappeared from his usual duties in June, sparking speculation he may have strayed politically.
China correspondent
About a month ago, he had disappeared from his normal duties and the official reason given for his absence was some sort of health issue. Such an affair would not be against the law, but it could be construed as a potential breach of Party discipline. One of the most surprising aspects of Qin Gang's demise is that he was seen as having the clear backing of the country's all-powerful leader.Immediately, analysts were watching his behaviour to see how much of a "wolf warrior" he might be in this new role. The wolf warriors were a group of Chinese diplomats who'd taken to social media in loud support of China, even if it meant abusing others as a means of turning attention away from the nation's woes.
