Li was one of the “somewhat likable” character in the recent leadership of China.

He emphsized that china has “0.6 billion people (almost half of the Chinese population) with less than 1000 RMB (less than $136) of disposable income per month”, when Xi was touting his success in “eliminating poverty”.

He made it very clear that it was “the last year of this administration” a year before he stepped down. Many think he was referencing the PRC constitution, which states an administration lasts no more than 2 terms, before it was changed by Xi.

It might be people over-interpreting his words; and I am sure being a politician of this magnitude, he has to be evil in many ways. But in comparison, he does seems “somewhat likable”.
