Yu Zeyuan: Li Keqiangs curtain

Li Keqiang applauded the applause from the scene, and then bowed to the center of the stage towards the platform and the podium separately. After returning to the seat, he bowed deeply towards the stage. It seemed to say goodbye to the occasion he was very familiar with.

In the past 10 years, Li Keqiang reads government work reports on the same occasion on March 5th every year. The Prime Minister's press conference after the two sessions (National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference) each year is his high time.

The statutory term of Chinese Prime Minister is 10 years, and it is not surprising that Li Keqiang's steps down as Prime Minister.However, the outside world thought that Li Keqiang could be transferred to the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress after he stepped as the Prime Minister and continued to play a role in politics. Until the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October last year, Li Keqiang did not enter the new Central Committee.Essence

Li Keqiang, who was under 68 years old, was a educated youth in the countryside in his early years and served as the party branch secretary of the brigade. He was admitted to the Law Department of Peking University in 1978. After graduating in 1982, he stayed as the secretary of the Peking University Youth League Committee and was selected as the Standing Committee of the Communist Youth League Central Committee.

Since the 1980s, the Communist Youth League system has become an important base for the CCP's selection of cadres.The reason is that the positioning of the Communist Youth League is the reserve forces of the Communist Party of China. At that time, the CCP cadres were generally aging, and the cadres had become a urgent issue. In addition, Hu Yaobang had long been in charge of the Communist Youth League for a long time, and favored the Communist Youth League cadres.

Li Keqiang caught up with Dongfeng of the rise of the Communist Youth League system.In 1983, 28 -year -old Li Keqiang served as alternate secretary of the Central Secretariat of the Communist Youth League, and worked under the leadership of Hu Jintao, who presided over the Central Committee of the League.In 1985, 30 -year -old Li Keqiang became the secretary of the Central Secretariat of the League and became the youngest cadre at the time of China at that time.

In 1993, 38 -year -old Li Keqiang became the first secretary of the Central Secretariat of the League and became the youngest senior official at that time in China.From 1998 to 1999, Li Keqiang served as the governor and governor of Henan generations. He was also the youngest governor of China at that time.

After the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2002, Hu Jintao served as the secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee.In 2004, Li Ke emphasized the secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee, and was once regarded as a popular candidate for China's highest position successor.

After the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2007, Li Keqiang was directly promoted to the Standing Committee of the Politburo Standing Committee and ranked first in the State Council.However, his ranking in the Standing Committee of the Politburo fell behind Chinese officials.

After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, Li Keqiang ranked second among the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China; in March of the following year, Li Keqiang started his 10 -year prime minister's career.

Li Keqiang has frequently appeared "golden sentences" at the first press conference after he became the prime minister, including "to let the people live a good life, the government will have a close life";"It is the hand in the market"; "Reform is expensive in action, shouting that it is better to get rid of his arms" and so on, fully showing his confidence.

Li Keqiang is one of the few Chinese leaders who can speak and communicate in English in public.In March 2022, Li Keqiang reiterated that China will unswervingly expand openness at his last Prime Minister's press conference.He said that the Yangtze River and the Yellow River will not flow back. The door to open to the outside world is "the door to opportunities, and we will never let it close."

However, about 5.5%of the government work report in 2022 has not achieved the economic growth target, and the annual growth is only 3%.Although there are complex and changing international and domestic factors, after all, it is the first time in China that has not reached the expected economic goal for many years, and it is also the regret of Premier Li Keqiang.

Li Keqiang's curtain also marks that the influence of cadres from the Communist Youth League system in Chinese politics are becoming more slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly small.The Communist Youth League system mainly refers to the Secretary of the Central Secretariat of the Communist Youth League and the head of the provincial Communist Youth League. Later, it was promoted to senior officials at the main level.

The Communist Youth League system began to rise in the 1980s. It reached its peak before the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012. Not only did two Hu Yaobang and Hu Jintao appeared, but also Li Keqiang and the Standing Committee of the Politburo, Wang Yang, member of the Politburo, Li Yuanchao, Liu Yandong, and Wang Zhaoguo., Liu Qizhen, Hu Chunhua, and a large number of local members and leaders of the central ministries and commissions.

But the cadres of the Communist Youth League system are often criticized by "not grounding" and lacking the ability to solve practical problems.After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Youth League system was accused of "high paraplegia" and became the goal of reform.Cadres who have served as the leaders of the central and provincial league organizations are no longer reused as in the past.

Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Lu Hao, the Minister of Natural Resources, who was the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, was transferred to the director of the Development Research Center of the State Council.The Politburo was selected; at the two sessions this year, Zhou Qiang, the president of the Supreme People's Court, who was the first secretary of the League Central Committee, will be transferred to the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference with Hu Chunhua;It will also retire.

Li Keqiang's curtain curtain also marks that the political leaders of the Chinese official era basically withdrawn from politics.What a performance of Li Qiang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China, who is about to take over the position of Premier Li Keqiang, will attract the attention of all parties.
