SCMP: New Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang vows to prioritise US ties, tweets praise for Americans 

* The outgoing ambassador to Washington says he is seeking a 'better China-US relationship' 

* His promotion is widely seen as an effort by Beijing to stabilise relations between the world powers 

New Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang said he was "deeply impressed" by the American people and pledged to continue to push forward the relationship between the two world powers in his new role. 

Qin, who was promoted on Friday, has served as China's ambassador to the US for the past 17 months - a period he described as "a time of severe challenges for China-US relations". 

"I want to pay sincere thanks to the people of the United States for the strong support and assistance given to me and the Chinese Embassy during this period," Qin tweeted on Monday evening Washington time.

  1. I know Chinese, who praise their civilization but not the government. They ought to know. They lived a few blocks from Mao. Mao had a lot of raucous parties and he put many a Mormon Harem Herder to shame.

  2. I'm offended. He should have thanked us for allowing China to steal so many tech 'secrets' and schooling so many future espionage agents.

    Fang Fang no longer loves Eric so much, when he is not on the intel committee.

  4. Can you tell me anything about your parents' relationship, that you know of, which might be pertinent to your feelings in this regard?

  5. Swalwell and the Chinese spy agency would like to forget about the whole thing. Keep trying.
