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.

Had the deceased had any involvement with the Clinton crime family?

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

Is CNN trying to insinuate a connection between Pompeo and the Ambassador’s death?

What possible connection is there to Pompeo’s visit? Are they suggesting he killed the ambassador with a slow acting poison?They just had to make that connection, hoping that people would make that jump in illogical thought.

Not sure why this is relevant.

The only link I can see with the words — Ukraine and China together is : HUNTER BIDEN, who was in the payroll of companies in both countries.

Too obvious. That’s not how Mossad works, not in their own country.

Look somewhere else.

It doesn't matter how, when, where or if someone killed him. We'll only hear lies.

However, COUNT ON the Democrat leadership to make a BIG DEAL of this and somehow blame Trump.

Perhaps they wanted it to be obvious. Messages sent don't have to always be subtle.

OK, what’s the motive? Mossad does not just kill for the heck of it.
