Silencing Premiere’s Press Conference, Elevating Xi Jinping and the Echoes of a Controversial Slogan
In a significant political shift, China discontinued the premier's press conference during the annual Two Sessions, a tradition lasting over 30 years, and reduced the legislative session's length. The State Council's diminished status, coupled with the cancellation of the premier's press conference, has sparked widespread discussions. Critics argue that Premier Li Qiang's emphasis on openness conflicts with canceling the press conference, undermining his credibility. Some see it as a move by Xi Jinping to consolidate power, echoing a slogan reminiscent of Hitler's. The restrictions on Li Qiang's speech reveal Xi Jinping's tight control, reinforcing the shift in China's political landscape post the 20th Party Congress.
