Qin Gang, China’s former foreign minister, has resigned from the country’s rubber-stamp parliament nearly eight months after he disappeared from public view.
In a formal statement issued on Tuesday, Beijing said Mr. Qin has stepped down from its rubber-stamp legislature, the National People’s Congress (NPC). The top body of Tianjin Municipal NPC has accepted his resignation as a deputy, it added.
