Qin Gang, China’s top diplomat, is in the news after a senior diplomat was detained over an investigation—he’s China’s Vice Foreign Minister since 2023.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang visited North Korea to attend the 80th anniversary of the Workers' Party, marking the most senior Chinese official visit since 2019. The trip included high-level meetings, a military parade, and reaffirmed Beijing's commitment to strategic cooperation with Pyongyang amid regional tensions.
