    Political Frailty

    Quite shocking. He was a torn in Xi's side for a decade. A direct heir to Hu Jintao, Li was a progressive premier who leaned towards free market. The last brush with Xi was on zero-Covid policy which Li strongly opposed. Xi dreamts of sidelining him for ten years and finally managed it last March. He was a hero to many, and a voice of dissent. The post of premier is now held by a Xi's loyalist.
