Former Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang Dismissed Amid Allegations of Selling Military Secrets
Former Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang dismissed due to alleged involvement in selling military secrets and potential double agent scandal.
BEIJING, CHINA — Former Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang's dismissal has been linked to allegations of selling military secrets and involvement in a potential double agent scandal, according to The Epoch Times.
Contrary to internet rumours of an extramarital affair, a source close to a high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official revealed that Qin's downfall was due to his alleged violation of a major CCP taboo.
The source disclosed that the son of a high-ranking Rocket Force officer had sold highly classified missile distribution maps to the United States.
Qin's failure to promptly report the incident to Chinese leader Xi Jinping raised suspicions and led to his removal.
TV news anchor Fu Xiaotian has also been linked to the incident, with suggestions that she may be a double agent working for the Second Department of the General Staff. Fu allegedly approached Qin to help cover up the leak incident, inadvertently exposing sensitive information.
Speculation is growing that Qin's rapid rise in prominence and the alleged sale of military secrets led to his removal, orchestrated by jealous CCP "princelings."
The cloud of suspicion surrounding Qin's disappearance from public view, previously attributed to "health reasons," has fueled curiosity and scrutiny.
The implications of this scandal and its potential impact on China's political landscape remain uncertain.
Further investigations are expected as more information emerges.
