China appoints US envoy Qin Gong as new foreign minister

 

China has appointed its US envoy Qin Gang as the new foreign minister to succeed incumbent Wang Yi, who has been elevated to the Political Bureau -- the ruling Communist Party's top policy body.

It is, however, not clear whether Qin, 56, will take over the post immediately.

Wang, 69, has been elevated to the high-power Political Bureau of the CPC, making him the country's top diplomat.

“Congratulations to H.E. Qin Gang @AmbQinGang for his appointment as China's new Foreign Minister! Looking forward to a splendid new chapter in China's diplomacy,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson and Assistant Foreign Minister Hua Chunying tweeted.

The announcement was a surprise as the new administration to be headed by the new Premier is scheduled to take over during the annual Parliament session slated to be held from March 5 next year.

CBFC asks ‘Pathaan' makers to make 'changes' in songs

 

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has directed the makers of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer “Pathaan” to implement "changes" in the movie, including its songs, chairperson Prasoon Joshi said on Thursday.

The CBFC has asked production banner Yash Raj Films to submit a revised version of the spy action thriller in accordance with board guidelines, Joshi said in a statement. He did not detail the changes suggested to the makers.

"Pathaan" found itself battling controversy and calls for a ban after the release of its song "Besharam Rang", also featuring Deepika Padukone, on December 12. A sequence in the song showing Deepika in a saffron bikini led to protests across India for allegedly hurting "Hindu sentiments".

"The film recently reached the CBFC examination committee for certification. The film went through the due and thorough examining process as per the CBFC guidelines.
