to be our guest at frankfurt and bought cd, managed by frank bought the state of reduced life from berlin, and chinese foreign minister. ch, in gong is removed from his post. he hasn't been seen in public for more than a month, sparking a storm of speculation about political arrival risk. and then the less the extra marital affair. also in the program. residents of the ukrainian ford of odessa struggle to rebuild after repeated rushing to air strikes. moscow has increased its

attacks on the city since pulling out of an un brokered greenville. and while far sweep through northern algeria killing doesn't forcing hundreds to flee to safety, thousands of firefighters are trying to get the places under control. the welcome to the program. china is for administer, 10 gung has been removed from office searching. so we're about to be with us secretary state entity blinking earlier this year has been absent from public duties for more than a month. and the state media made the announcement on tuesday evening saying that he'd been replaced, finds freed assessor in the role, the communist parties for an affairs chief long. the announcement gave no reason for mister jim's removal. all trace of chin is being removed from the foreign

ministry website. earlier i spoke to ali wine as senior analyst with your racial group who focuses on us china relations. and i asked him, this is a sign of a political bird. and there's a lot of speculation, there are lot of rumors and swirling around the deform minister, but what we do know is you said as we speak in real time, images of 10 gong are being removed from the ministries website, references, who has previous diplomatic activities are being scrub from the ministries, websites would certainly suggest that there's some political infighting going on. the intent was seen by many as a rising star, and he didn't really means his words specifically, you know, when talking about in china is relations with the west. so in taking amount that presidency remove a threats to his own power. who gets there a lot of speculations? you 11 room or, or one i should say, a room or, you know, one assertion has been made is that the speed option gone to send within the

ministry of foreign affairs ranko, some of his more senior colleagues. and certainly, there were frictions between personal frictions, between long e and entry and gong. so again, i think some personal enemies that works in political motivations at work. but now as long as you're heading up, not only the ministry of foreign affairs, but also the central for the parents commission, warnky now is going to be overseeing not only the substance of foreign policy, but also its implementation. i think the warranty is a much better known entity, diplomatically, i think that you'll also be a more challenging interlocutor for the united states. i'm you mentioned in your remarks, the meeting between the us secretary of state anthony blinking in his recent visits to beijing. and it's noticeable that his meetings with arching gun we're a little bit warmer than he has meetings with one a so long. he's a more well known entity, a more prominent entity, but potentially also more challenging interlocutor for the united states. it has been a busy time for chinese diplomacy with several visits recently from us officials. how will this change at the top impact relations now what you think or

i don't think this personal change is going to have a significant impact on us. china relations. i think that the relationship a broadly has been competitive, it will remain competitive in a range of domains. i think what we might see is perhaps a little bit more of the return to china is a sort of diplomacy that long is known sometimes closely for so called wolf where diplomacy a more assertive, perhaps even abrasive style of diplomacy. we've seen that on display in his interactions with us counterparts. and i think that we might see a return to that type of style diplomacy. not only dealing with the united states, but it with the west more broadly. so you don't think that the, the communication between the 2 superpowers is going to improve with this change at the top. i don't think it did. it will improve. i think it's gonna remain contentious, but what i will say is that, you know, warnky, he's even if he's a more challenging interlocutor and he's also

a much better known interlocutor. and many of the current officials, top level officials and the national security and foreign policy establishment of united states have interact with long, you regularly in recent years. keep in mind a warranty before resuming his position. as for minister, he had served in that capacity between 20132022. and so he's a well known entity. so expect strain communication but perhaps more foreign policy continuity coming from ton of stock continuity because it's something that that further and she certainly value isn't something that he wants to projects towards the outside. now, getting rid of thing done after less than a year in the post after him being, you know, missing basically for, for about a month. what, what does that say about the, you know, the, the inner workings of the palace. what's happening there, as well? exactly, as you said, they those inner workings, they remain. they have been mysterious for, for a long time of the outside world. and i think that was changing things,

centralization of power, if he's increasing centralization of power, those inner workings are becoming yet more mysterious to outside observers of china gave no official reason. 14 guns departure. there are any, any number of rumor swirling around the reasons for his departure. so i think what we see is a kind of a shroud of mystery around the inner workings of science, domestic governance chinese political system. and again, a growing concentration of authority, not only teaching thing, but now certainly much more of a concentration to foreign policy authority in wong. he's on the line with the you razor group in washington dc. thank you so much for your analysis. thank you very much for having me. people in the ukrainian city of odessa or rebuilding after days of russian missile strikes. moscow has launched numerous attacks on the port citizens ending in deal allowing the safe export of ukrainian grain. russia maintains its targeting military infrastructure, but ukraine say that's impossible,
