China's Premier Li Qiang has emphasized the importance of following Xi Jinping's leadership, aligning with the recent changes to the State Council's administrative rules. These changes, discussed at the ongoing National People's Congress (NPC) meeting, underscore a shift towards greater loyalty to the leader, with a notable emphasis on the State Council being a political organization subordinate to the Central Committee, and ultimately to Xi Jinping, as stated by @AdamYLiu1 at @lkyspp. The draft revision of the Organic Law of the State Council, which has been revised for the first time since December 1982, supports this shift by stating that the State Council must uphold the leadership of the Communist Party. This move has been interpreted by experts, including a China politics researcher at Peking University, as a step towards redefining party-state relations in China, with the law's passage seen as solidifying Xi's leadership hierarchy over the country. The revision was deliberated by Chinese lawmakers at the #TwoSessions2024, as reported by @Lingling_Wei.

When Xi Jinping’s handpicked premier, Li Qiang, was anointed a year ago, Li dutifully pledged to be an “executor” of the top leader’s decisions. Li is living up to his promise—and then some. And that spells trouble for a struggling economy. @Lingling_Wei https://t.co/b9bos7KbK9

Li Qiang “has repositioned the State Council from day one—it’s a political organization subordinate to the Central Committee, and in essence, to Xi,” said @AdamYLiu1 at @lkyspp. Thus, “it doesn’t make much sense for the premier to have a separate voice.” https://t.co/6bXR6ZB1PV
