China's former premier Li Keqiang dies of heart attack - CNA
China's former premier Li Keqiang died on Friday (Oct 27) aged 68, after suffering a sudden heart attack. Serving under President Xi Jinping for a decade since 2013, he steered China through the COVID-19 pandemic while it faced increasing scrutiny about its global ambitions.
In his final speech in March, Li described the last five years of his term as "truly momentous and remarkable". CNA's Olivia Siong with more from Beijing.
