prime minister, Li Qiang, is a puzzle. He has called private business his native province’s “golden namecard”. He has boasted of the entrepreneurial daring of his hometown, and lashed out at officials for interfering with the market. He has scolded scholars for failing to criticise his work boldly enough.
The two Lis have strikingly different backgrounds. The elder is an intellectual type, whose father was a mid-ranking official. He studied law and economics at Peking University, one of the country’s most prestigious seats of learning. The younger worked in a pumping station and a factory before studying agricultural machinery in his native province, Zhejiang. From early in his career, Li Keqiang appeared on track for a top job in the central leadership.
According to Reuters, a news agency, Mr Li was put in charge of the country’s covid task-force after last year’s Politburo shakeup. He introduced measures to loosen “zero-covid” restrictions. While cases mounted and Mr Xi wavered, the news agency says, Mr Li “resisted pressure from the president to slow the pace of reopening”. Reuters says it was not able to establish how Mr Xi reacted. But in February China’s leader publicly declared a “decisive victory” over covid.
Unusually for a senior ethnic-Han official, he flaunted his local identity, particularly his ties with Wenzhou. The city is renowned in China for its maverick streak, its citizens having shown a partiality for capitalism even in Mao’s day when private ownership was all but banned. Its unique dialect, unintelligible to outsiders, fosters a sense in Wenzhou of being different .
Or rather a yen-man?
Choices … agree and live … disagree and die … wonder which will choose
Spoiler: no.
'Yes men' live long and well in communist china
经济学人现在也是听床师水准
No one in Xi’s government is going to argue with the boss.
Puppets.
Omg! Exact same ear!
The Economist launches into a tirade against the cadre reshuffle, surprise, surprise. Because the West will find it increasingly difficult to get the measure of Beijing? What a nuisance.🥱
TheEconomist cannot be blind for ever: Think about economists' evaluation of Xi's achievements over the past years for China and for the world. Who else in the world can match him in achievements?
'Xi Jinping’s rule by fear, requiring officials to make endless protestations of loyalty,... In how they get along with each other'. * China can't survive to lead the world with it's new chines elites capitalism system, or control the global debt system for modern slavery type😭
do you have any sources for your bs?
I'd be looking closer to home . Try to ease that plank in your eye. 'Rule by fear'. Have you see what the French police do to protesters? Or Dutch police?
🤐
great, an insecure despot. what could go wrong?
Does a foot have its own mind？ Can a hand influence the brain？ All the goons Xi selected shall only follow Xi's instructions.
Xi Jinping will never use any capable guy who’s better than himself, even there might be one, he’ll hardly know how to make the best of.
