China's Missing Foreign Minister Raises Concerns Amidst ASEAN Summit
China's foreign minister, Qin Gang, will not be attending a diplomatic gathering in Indonesia, extending his unexplained absence that has lasted for over two weeks. Top diplomat Wang Yi will represent China instead. Qin's absence has raised speculation about his health, but the Chinese foreign ministry has not provided any information. The absence comes as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to attend the meetings, presenting an opportunity for talks between the two countries.
