Looking back at Li Keqiang at that time, his dazzling brilliance was so intense that Xi Jinping could barely keep his eyes open. At the age of forty‑two, Li Keqiang was directly elected as a Central Committee member with a high vote, even becoming one of the youngest Central Committee members in the history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Li Keqiang came from a poor background, rose to politics through his own effort, was proficient in English, had solid professional competence, was intelligent, gentle and refined, had strong achievements, and dared to speak the truth. These factors combined to win Li Keqiang the favor and praise of mid‑to‑high‑level CCP officials. Basically all mid‑to‑high‑level officials believed Li Keqiang would take Hu Jintao's position, while Xi Jinping was much inferior in comparison.
