Last week, Geoff Dyer of the Financial Times, wrote about Li Keqiang's upcoming speech. Li is considered to be China's next premier, despite the lack of transparency in China's high-level politics. He will speak at the World Economic Forum at Davos, some believe, in order to raise his international profile. According to David Shambaugh, a Chinese politics expert at George Washington University living in Beijing, "There is a feeling among some people in China that he is quite weak and untested," and there has thus been an "obvious effort in state media to try to build him up" since last summer.
