Missing leaders? “They are unwell”
The issue of cadre corruption in China has garnered considerable media coverage, particularly after General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Xi Jinping, initiated his contentious anti-corruption campaign in 2012. Since then, numerous top-tier military and government figures have been convicted of corrupt practices.
Recently, the issue of corruption in China has resurfaced with the sudden disappearance of China's new foreign minister Qin Gang on July 27, 2023.
The latest of the disappearances includes the Defence Minister Li Shangfu. Officials have been tight-lipped regarding the enigmatic vanishing of the Defence Minister.
China's Language Diplomacy: Unravelling Geopolitical Motivations in West Asia
The recent endorsement of teaching Mandarin Chinese in Iranian, Saudi Arabian, and Turkish schools reflects a growing trend in West Asia. This move comes in the wake of Iran's sensitivity towards Western languages, particularly English, which is viewed as a potential conduit for cultural intrusion. China's role in this transformation, driven by President Xi Jinping's Sinification agenda, underscores its ambition to expand cultural and geopolitical influence beyond its borders.
