The former Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang and Hong Kong Phoenix Television anchor Fu Xiaotian’s suspected illegitimate child have stirred up a storm, with insider details gradually emerging. According to a video program by overseas Chinese media personality He Pin on April 22nd, last April, after Fu Xiaotian flew back to Beijing from the United States on a chartered flight, she was “ambushed” by relevant authorities, and the child was taken for DNA testing. The results confirmed the child’s connection to Qin Gang. In response to this explosive scandal, the top leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping, was reportedly furious and promptly removed Qin Gang from his position.
Previously, in a February column, David Ignatius, a columnist for The Washington Post, further revealed that Fu Xiaotian might be a British intelligence operative who used a surrogate mother in the United States to have a child, posing a threat to Chinese national security due to her extramarital affair with Qin Gang.
It is reported that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) had previously issued a warning to the Chinese Ministry of State Security regarding this matter. However, British officials have denied rumors that Fu Xiaotian is a British spy.
On April 22nd local time, He Pin, an overseas Chinese media personality, revealed more details about the incident in his own video program. He stated that Fu Xiaotian fell into a trap, returning from the United States on a chartered flight to China.
He Pin said, “Fu Xiaotian did not notice anything unusual. Even after the chartered flight landed at Beijing airport, she hurriedly informed her friends in Beijing about her return, arranging to meet for dinner or other gatherings.” He speculated that Fu might have been taken away before or after going through immigration.
He Pin, a former special correspondent for Hong Kong’s Ming Pao, had reported on the protests in Tiananmen Square and was wanted by authorities after June 4, 1989. He fled to Canada via Macau and settled in Long Island, USA. However, he still holds Chinese citizenship. He Pin is also the founder of Multi-Dimensional News and Mirror News Publishing Group, known for predicting personnel changes in the Chinese Communist Party leadership.
So far, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Phoenix Television have not responded to foreign media disclosures and reports.
