China replaces its foreign minister Qin Gang with predecessor Wang Yi

• The Chinese government has removed Qin Gang from the post of Foreign Minister and replaced him with Wang Yi. China's Xinhua news agency reported that the country's top legislature voted to appoint Wang Yi as Foreign Minister, as it convened a session today. The announcement came a month after Qin’s last public appearance.
• The report did not give a reason for Qin's removal but said President Xi Jinping signed a presidential order to enact the decision.
• China's Foreign Ministry had said, the 57-year-old was off work for unspecified health reasons, but the lack of detailed information on his whereabouts fuelled a swirl of speculation.
• Qin Gang had replaced Wang as foreign minister in December last year.
