“Of course, there will be a difference. One difference on the negative side will be even less in terms of checks and balances, different views. But, paradoxically, it’s also because the new premier, is Xi Jinping’s protege, he’s the former chief of staff. So that relationship will be smooth, smooth. Xi Jinping can absolutely trust his new premier. So its structure even can probably carry out the policy easily, not so much resistance.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Cheng Li, expert on elite China politics, Brookings Institution in Washington:
“Now, of course, some people may think it’s more conservative. That’s true. That’s true. Because Xi Jinping shift to the policy, think that the top priority is state security. It’s national security at a time that war become more likely and it’s a very hostile environment. But having said that, you see that after the 20th party congress they talk a lot about the economy. Liu He delivered a speech at Davos. This represents the new leadership, not just represents his view and also the property sector and the IT sector. I think that Li Qiang is particularly popular among the private sector.”

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Rana Mitter, professor of Chinese history and modern politics, Oxford University:
“China’s economic performance in the next year, two years, five years is, of course, of huge importance to the people of China, but it’s also immensely important to the wider Asia-Pacific region and the world beyond that, because it’s such a large and powerful and dynamic economy and the fact that new leadership choices have been made that suggest perhaps an economic direction of travel, that is still in some ways interested in engaging with the outside world, but actually also suggests in some ways a more inward looking, a more China-focused agenda. Well, that is a change from before. So I think actually this is not just a symbolic change. There are some real signals in the wind being sent by these personnel moves.”
