Quick Glance: Concerns Arise Over China's Diplomacy Amidst Upheavals in Xi's World
- The disappearance of China's defence minister and other upheavals in the country's top ranks are causing uncertainty about President Xi Jinping's rule as an internal security clampdown takes precedence over international engagement.
- Defence Minister Li Shangfu, who has been missing since late August and has missed important meetings, is being investigated for corruption related to military procurement.
- Newly installed Foreign Minister Qin Gang disappeared in July with little explanation, the same month as a sudden restructuring of China's elite Rocket Force, responsible for overseeing the country's nuclear arsenal.
- With corruption deeply rooted in China's military and state institutions, some analysts and diplomats believe that Xi's anti-graft crackdowns are political purges within the Communist Party.
