Li Qiang, China’s incoming premier, is showing to be more than just a loyalist to Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
-
He has taken a leading role in freeing China from zero-Covid and refocusing the government on economic growth.
-
This has given rise to cautious optimism that he may be able to exert a moderating influence on Xi Jinping.
-
Li has the potential to influence the future of the second-largest economy in the world.
-
He previously served as party chief in the Chinese financial center of Shanghai.
-
He is known as a Xi loyalist but also a pro-business pragmatist.

-
Li has taken a leading role in shaping important decisions and has leveraged his trust with Xi to roll back policies that might have caused more lasting damage to the economy.
-
Li waded in early to China’s pivot away from zero-tolerance Covid controls late last year.
-
He has not changed the development model or persuaded Xi to lead a charge back towards market reforms.
-
The State Council Information Office did not respond to a request for comment.

Li assumed leadership of a national Covid task force in October.

-
Guangdong tested a more-targeted approach in Covid controls similar to one Li tried in Shanghai in the spring of 2022.
-
Guangzhou lifted all Covid restrictions after mass protests against zero-Covid.
-
China scrapped zero-Covid measures nationwide a week later.

He has brought the same skill to bear in trying to revive the Chinese economy.

-
Some Chinese entrepreneurs remain skeptical of the new government’s promises, worrying that the new premier lacks the clout to push through pro-business policy changes.
-
An expat businessman expressed doubt in the direction the country is going in.
-
Analysts say the government must grapple with these problems to alleviate and allocate the pain, or else face more social tensions.
