Let us tell you about Qin Gang
Qin Gang’s 17-month tenure as ambassador to the US was witness to rising tensions between the world’s two largest economies.
Qin was the first spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs and later rose to the rank of Deputy Minister. He has been closely associated with Xi Jinping over the past 10 years and accompanied him on all of Xi’s foreign tours.
When Qin Gang reached Washington in the year 2021, he had access to very few American officials. Despite repeated requests, American officials hesitated to meet him.
After spending more than five hundred days in America, Qin Gang has praised America and Americans.
In the year 2021, Qin Gang took over the post of China’s ambassador to America when both the countries were in a very challenging situation.
During his tenure, Gong visited 22 US states, government agencies, Congress, think tanks, factories, ports, farms, schools and playgrounds and befriended many Americans.
Qin Gang tweeted that I will continue to care for and support the development of China-US relations, encourage dialogue, mutual understanding and intimacy between the peoples of the two countries.
Experts say that Qin is not a new face in China. Considered one of the loudest voices in China’s foreign ministry, Qin started showing softness in his stand as soon as he reached America.
