China removes defence minister, ousts ex-FM from cabinet

BEIJING - China on Tuesday removed defence minister Li Shangfu and ousted former foreign minister Qin Gang from its cabinet, state media reported, as part of a major reshuffle of its top leadership. The news comes after months of speculation about China's cabinet, after Qin was abruptly removed from office without explanation in July, and with Li not having been seen in public for months. Both Qin and Li are believed by experts to have been personally selected for their roles by President Xi Jinping. On Tuesday state broadcaster CCTV announced the removals in its regular evening bulletin, but did not give reasons for the ministers' fall from grace. No replacement for Li as defence minister was announced. Previously it had been reported that the US government believed Li was under investigation and had been stripped of his ministerial duties, but China had refused to comment on the matter. Li travelled to Russia in August to attend a security conference near Moscow on August 15. Two days later, the government of Belarus released handout photographs of Li meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in Minsk. But since then, he has vanished from public view. Li's now confirmed removal means there is no apparent host for China's regional security dialogue, the Xiangshan Forum, which takes place next week.

Silly Xi provoked many neigbouring countries to form alliance against CCP. He was silly and elected sex addicted and corrupted cabinet ministers. Athough sex addicted and corrupted were culture of CCP, unfortunately those pity ministers have to step down due to party infighting. Democratic countries elected important leaders through election process. Unfortunately those communists have to kill each other through all the dirty tricks during infighting. Those ex-ministers would continue self disappear just like kena ISA. Communism is rubbish political system from westerns worse than 3rd world countries.

Real allies of America as per following whom migrated:

1. Kong Dongmei, granddaughter of Mao Zedong
2. Deng Zhifanf, son of Deng Xiaoping
3. Deng Zhuodi, grandson of Deng Xiaoping
4. Zhuo Yue, granddaughter of Deng Xiaoping
5. Jiang Mianheng, eldest son of Jiang Zemin
6. Jiang Zhicheng, grandson of Jiang Zemin
7. Hu Haiqing, daugter of Hu Jintao
8. Xi Mingze, daugter of Xi Jinping
9. Yang Jiechi, senior member of CCP entire family
10. too many just ignore the rest

Why CCP did not migrate to Russia, North Korea or Cuba, because Being Anti-America Is Work , Living In America Is Life. They all love living in democratic and freedom country.

up to 2008, america's image in China is still.
after the 2008 crisis, not so good.

and by now 2023, surely negative.

America is no longer a popular destination for students or for immigration. Not worth it. Too risky, too much violence and plenty of good universities in China.

in fact in recent years 20,000 top scientists have left USA for home countries and China takes most of it. For China it is no longer brain drain but it is now reverse brain drain.

America has been always a dreamland for retired or resigned 2nd - 3rd generations of CCP since 1960 - 2023.
