It's A PERSONAL FAILING NOT INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE. Qin Gang SUCCUMBED to his inner demons/desire/lust/love for the woman which resulted of him fathering a child in the U.S.
I don't know how that can be read as "HIGH-LEVEL OFFICIALS ARE TOO AFRAID TO DEFEND NATIONAL INTEREST" when the man has been essentially fired from his position that he has been working so hard to attain.
It's quite worrying but understandable to a certain degree why the virulent Chinese nationalist such as yourself would find Qin Gangs action as an emblematic and a symptom of perceived betrayal/treasonous actions by important officials in the CPC. What actions should have been taken by the leadership that would pacify and satisfy the angst, accusations from your side? War over Taiwan during the Pelosi visit? For what? I am sorry to disagree with you but I for one am glad that Chinese leadership as imperfect and as human as they are just like the rest of us, they do not succumb to emotional barking and actions that would have caused irreparable damage to China's aspirations of achieving economic revitalization and military power. If your country was a democracy like India, then in my opinion there's no doubt that China would have invaded and have taken military actions against Taiwan and India many moons ago to the detriment of China.
I don't want to think about the worse possibilities until I officially confirm the news.
But I must emphasize that this is not a neurotic concern, but based on the painful history of the past.
Too many high ranking traitors have caused fatal losses to our cause. This includes generals who leaked information to Taiwan, engineers who sold ICBM data to the United States, and ambassadors who betrayed the interests of their homeland and provided negotiation intelligence to South Korea.
In the situation where there is still a huge gap in the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves, these traitors may put us in danger of failure.
The leadership is like living in a fog to us, and we know nothing about them except for reports from official media. The fate of the entire country, nation, and myself is entrusted to their leadership. Isn't it worth worrying about such a major scandal in such a crucial position?
To be honest, many speculations are based on the philistine views of citizens. I just hope to get a reasonable explanation in the future (at least it seems like this). Otherwise, this ridiculous view will only be constantly consolidated in the hearts of the people. In the history of China, there were too many people who betrayed the entire nation for their own power and status, and they all played a significant role. It's about future and destiny, and what I'm most afraid of is that the leadership may not be as responsible as expected.
Supplement: In public negative textbooks, bribing Chinese officials is much simpler than you imagine. Many traitors do not receive much reward, and Americans only need to promise their families to immigrate to the United States.
