"In memory of comrade Li Keqiang, flags were flown at half-mast at Tiananmen Square in the capital," state media said. Messages for the late premier flooded social media platforms as Chinese citizens mourned his death. Many tributes said people would remember Li, while some shared yesteryear photos and videos of Li with his quotes.
Once viewed as a Communist Party leadership contender, Li was sidelined in recent years, analysts and diplomats said, as Xi tightened his grip on economic policymaking.
