Former Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has died from a heart attack at the age of 68, state media reported on Friday.
Li, who served as China's premier from March 2013 to March 2023, had a heart attack on Thursday and died at 12:10 a.m. (16:10 GMT) the next day in Shanghai despite "all-out efforts to rescue him failed," media said.
The former official was considered China's top economic official for a decade and known for being an advocate for private businesses. China's number two leader for years, Li was also seen as a reformist who looked to open China to global markets as well as removing restrictions on the flow of people and supplies.
