In July 2021, Qin Gang became the Chinese ambassador to the United States.During the more than 500 days of the Ambassador to the United States, Qin Gang also tried his best to show his soft bodies while insisting on his basic position, exchanged and interacting with people from all walks of life and states in the United States, and strived to change the image of China's diplomacy.Qin Gang's performance in the United States is obviously praised by senior China, which is one of the reasons why he can directly be promoted to foreign ministers as a ambassador.
