RIP Li Keqiang, a man with a broken heart

Waves of sadness and condolences are sweeping over China’s social media following the shocking announcement this morning of the sudden death of Li Keqiang, who just stepped down as PM in March. A dicey moment for China’s leadership at a time of uncertainty as they prepare for a critical plenary session of top CCP officials in the coming weeks. Li’s passing away came after sackings of China’s defense and foreign ministers as State Councillors. Judging by China’s recent history, the sudden death of a top leader could be a catalyst for change. Days after Jiang Zemin died on November 30, China lifted zero-Covid restrictions.
