Manoj Kewalramani quoted in Newsweek on Li Keqiang's death and what it means for Xi Jinping's China

Manoj Kewalramani, chair of Indo-Pacific Studies and a fellow at Takshashila Institution, was quoted in Newsweek. He was quoted as saying:

"This was evident in his official obituary in the People's Daily, which categorically stated that Li had "resolutely safeguarded General Secretary Xi Jinping's status as the core of the Party Central Committee and the entire Party" and called on people to "turn grief into strength," "learn from Li's revolutionary spirit" and "unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core." It basically argued that honoring Li's legacy required continued obeisance to Xi Jinping."
