#4  Ready for your dose of paranoia for the day? Deutsche Welle, the official news organ of the German government, appends this to the bottom of their article on the subject:

Before taking up the post in Israel, Du Wei had been China's ambassador to Ukraine.

His unexplained death came just days after he criticized comments from US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
