The Chinese ambassador to Israel was found dead in his home north of Tel Aviv on Sunday, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said.
Israeli Police Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the ambassador’s death was believed to be from natural causes.
Du Wei, 58, was appointed envoy in February in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. He previously served as China’s envoy to Ukraine. He was found dead at the ambassador’s official residence in Herzliya.
He is survived by a wife and son, both of whom were not in Israel.
Israel enjoys good relations with China. Bilateral trade has grown in recent years, as have American concerns over Chinese investment, and concerns over spying on one of its key regional allies.
The ambassador’s death came just two days after he condemned comments by visiting U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who denounced Chinese investments in Israel and accused China of hiding information about the coronavirus outbreak.
Yes of course, nothing suspicious about this at all. He just died of natural causes. We should fully trust whatever the Israeli government says because they are America’s greatest ally and would never lie.
I’m surprised that they didn’t just say that he died of the coronavirus. But we’ll probably find out in a week or so that this was the official cause of death. Because everybody who dies of anything now dies of the coronavirus. That includes victims of Mossad assassinations. Not that I’m implying that this is what happened or anything…….
