Chinese ambassador to Israel is found dead in his home, Foreign Ministry says
CNN ^ | 05/17/2020 | By Oren Liebermann

China's Ambassador to Israel, Du Wei, was found dead inside his official residence Sunday morning, a spokeswoman for Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs told CNN.

At this stage, the 57-year-old's death is not being treated as suspicious.

Police are outside the ambassador's residence in Herzliya -- to the north of Tel Aviv -- as part of standard procedure, the spokeswoman said.

His death comes less than a week after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Jerusalem, openly criticizing China's actions during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as calling on Israeli leaders to stop signing major infrastructure and communications deals with Chinese companies.

There has been no comment on the ambassador's death from the Chinese embassy in Israel or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing.

Ambassador Du assumed his current role in Israel in February 2020, according to the embassy's webpage, as the coronavirus pandemic was sweeping across the globe. He wrote in an article in the Jerusalem Post in mid-March that he immediately had to enter two weeks of mandatory self-quarantine on his arrival. Ambassador Du was married with one son.

Thinly disguised accusation from CNN that the U.S. and Israel murdered the guy.

Isn't CNN in bed with the Chinese? They usually find a way to stand with our enemies...

OK, what’s the motive?

I don’t know? Sending a message to China for intentionally releasing COVID-19 on the world, costing hundreds of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars? I’m not saying that’s what happened, because I don’t know. But there’s definitely a motive there.

What did he know of his government’s involvement in the development and release of the bio-weapon known as COVID19?

Perhaps he ate a falafel and got a heart attack and died. Deep fried food at his age?

The guy just died. That won't stop enemies of Israel from blaming the Jooooooos though.

“Imagine the ruckus if it had been rbg that got taken out?!?! We would still be hearing about it...”

Yeah, hearing the loud parties, fireworks, and celebratory gunfire in celebrating the death of the Wicked Witch of the Bench.

But not for the faint at heart. If only he had added more hot sauce, it would have counterbalanced the polyfats!

Yeah, from 1/2 the Country.

The mediascum would be blaming President Trump before He was even in Office and listing all current Republicans.

I’d say more likely killed by the commies to use as leverage against Israel for one thing or another. They commies are probably pointing at the Mossad.
