There are lot of expectations from the new government and government representatives. The new government of China is like ‘old wine in a new bottle’. The third term of Chinese President Xi Jinping has begun. Two days ago, Qin Gang has been made the new foreign minister of China. Jinping government Shuffled the cabinet and removed Wang Yi. China was already on the backfoot in terms of mutual relations with Corona and other countries. Relations with India further soured during his tenure. For the last 10 years, he was holding the post of Foreign Minister. But there is a doubt whether relations with India can be cordial with the Qin gang.
He wrote an article just four days before Qin Gang took over his post. In this article, he talked about improving the relations between India and China. Qin Gang said that both sides are ready to reduce the tension on the border issue with India. Both countries jointly protect peace in their borders.
Qin Gang is very close to Jinping
It is said about Qin that he is the youngest foreign minister and also very close to President Jinping. He was China’s ambassador to America. But before this, between 2014 and 2018, he was also the Chief Protocol Officer of Chinese President Xi Jinping. An article appeared in the American magazine National Interest on 26 December. Its title is ‘How China Sees the World’ ie how China sees the world.
Attack on Japan and America
Qin blamed America and Japan on the South China Sea and Taiwan issue. He said that both these countries are provoking Taiwan. This article of Qin is being linked to the views of Beijing. A few days ago, the former Foreign Minister of China had talked about improving relations with India. Along with this, efforts were also made for peace on LAC. India will not take these changes very seriously because this is not the first time that the dragon talks like this and later starts working with the intention of occupying the LAC.
America’s trouble
The new Chinese foreign minister said that China’s development means a strong force for peace and not a growing power to subvert the status quo as some say. Regarding the increasing tension from Taiwan, he said that it did not happen from China’s side. First Taiwan independence separatists, the one China policy is being challenged by external forces. For this reason these problems are arising between the two.
