Former Chinese premier Li Keqiang died of a heart attack on Oct. 27, with many questioning whether his sudden death was the result of an internal struggle within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Several CCP’s top retired officials absented themselves from Mr. Li’s funeral. However, a few days later, these party elders presented wreaths of flowers at another funeral for a provincial-level cadre, evidently signaling their discontent with the authorities’ handling of Mr. Li’s death.
