Li Quang to succeed Li Keqiang…

Li Qiang has been chosen as China’s new premier by the nation’s parliament.

To succeed Li Keqiang, who is retiring, President Xi Jinping picked Li Qiang, a former Shanghai Communist Party chief.

Given his close relationship with President Xi Jinping, Li Qiang won nearly unanimous approval from the more than 2,900 delegates at the National People’s Congress.

Li Qiang’s main duty as a realist will be to boost China’s faltering economy.
