Chinese Journalist Said to Have Given Birth to a Love Child From Ousted Foreign Minister Qin Gang Has Disappeared – Mentions of Fu Xiaotian Are Being Censored From Chinese Social Media
A rumored affair has shaken the Chinese Communist Party’s highest echelons, leading to the disappearance from the public eye the ousted Chinese foreign minister Qin Gang, and his alleged lover, TV presenter Fu Xiaotian.
Neither of the two have been heard from since April — and mentions of the journalist have been suppressed on China’s top social media platform.
The New York Post reported:
“The married Qin was removed from his position as Beijing’s top diplomat after a probe by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) revealed he had carried on an affair during an 18-month stint as ambassador to Washington.”
The identity of the Minister’s lover has not been officially revealed, but posters on China’s social media platform Weibo have long named the former Phoenix TV presenter Fu Xiaotian as Gang’s love interest.
