My Take
I approach political figures cautiously, but Li Keqiang interests me as the rare premier who was genuinely an economist at heart. Peking University trained him, and the so-called Li Keqiang Index, his preference for hard metrics like electricity use over official figures, suggested a leader who trusted ground reality over polish. He governed at the very summit of power for a decade, often perceived as constrained, yet there was a recognizable human pragmatism to him. His sudden death in 2023 clearly unsettled many. I remember him as a numbers-minded technocrat who never quite lost his individuality.
