Economic experts refer to China as “a black box” where the lack of information has made it difficult to make meaningful and accurate judgments about the country and its prospects. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2023/11/07/world/china/?utm_content=buffer6caae&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #commentary #worldnews #likeqiang #xijinping #chinesecommunistparty #chineseeconomy

Former Chinese Premier Li Keqiang never really got a chance to realize his ambition and use his knowledge to steer the economy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2023/10/30/world/li-keqiang-china-obituary/?utm_content=buffer25da1&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #commentary #worldnews #likeqiang #china #chinesecommunistparty #xijinping #obituary

Kwiaty dla Li, złość na Xi

W Chinach ludzie oddają cześć zmarłemu premierowi składając kwiaty czasami w nieoczekiwanych miejscach. Niemniej władze starają się ograniczyć te spontaniczne wybuchy żałoby. Może to się wydawać dziwne, ale z perspektywy Pekinu to przejaw cichego protestu.

Here is a good summary of the rumors about the sudden death of former Chinas Premier Li Keqiang. It also answers why so many Chinese mourn despite lackluster results and why many love songs are blocked in China.

When I see people hagiographizing and even mourning a top level deceased CCP cadre I want to ask:

What CCP policies exactly did he make less repressive or violent during his time around the 'top'? Any worth mentioning?

E.g. #HuYaobang was mourned because of his belated attempts to moderate the regime's policies...

Of course, the act of mourning for someone *other* than the great leader may carry a meaning in itself, but mourning a "team player" outside the #GFW?

☝️ The *victims* of the regime might be forgiven (option not available inside the empire) if they fail to appreciate the scattered unofficial nostalgia for a leading supporting cadre who served as the Party's 'premier' for a decade while, well, 'stuff' kept happening to them.

Maybe, just maybe comrade Li would have been less extreme as the supreme leader, but isn't that entire point moot since all he really ended up *doing* was rubberstamping the #XiJinping's policies we've all come to love and appreciate?

The #PRC/#CCP stopped "biding time" a decade ago and comrade Li was right in the middle of it as supreme leader's number 2.
