A bizarre phenomenon that tickles your imagination

 Xi Jinping's China is perpetually a mysterious behemoth with  mystique allusiveness that strongly piques the curiosity of the especially western world. So anything unusual like the vanishing act of China's Foreign Minister Qin Gang (秦刚) will immediately elicit the most breathtking intelligence searching in the minds of Their  intelligence pundits.

Indeed the mysterious vanishing act of Qin Gang has clearly caused a plethora of panic and morbid anxiety to Xi and his ministers because it comes at a time of acute China-US conflict The surreality of the drama cannot but bring with it a host of unforeseen or inauspicious implications that China cannot afford to burden itself at this time.

The world is astounded by the magnitude and incredibility of the supernatural event happening in a tightly controlled vast country like China. That Qin Gang could habitate in China like a Will-o-the-wisp  with its tight security and probably cocking a snook at Xi is something like Alice in Wonderland. The question uppermost in the people's mind is why is he doing this? He was doing very well as China's Foreign Minister and there could not have been any dereliction of duty serious enough to attract disapproval. There is speculation of indiscretion  in his private life. But that could not be reason for his vanishing act. Xi may be privy to his predicament but he is not talking. So the world would have to wait for Qin Gang to think when it would be safe for him to appear and he may or may not sing.

In the meantime he has been removed as a foreign minister and his predecessor Wang Yi has taken over his duties.As far as Qin Gang is concerned  he will not entertain any illusion that he will ever return to his foreign minister post.even when he decides to show up.

China, the land of exquisite culture and celestial mystiques,  may see another similar political antic in the future.
