When a world leader dies in our country, the media are full of obituaries and commentaries. In China, where there is strict media control, obituaries are also strictly orchestrated. So far, official news websites such as Peoples Daily feature only one report that succinctly summarizes what happened: Li Keqiang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the 17th, 18th and 19th Central Committees of the Communist Party of China and former premier, died Friday in Shanghai.Cause of death heart attack. He was 68 years old. An obituary will appear later.
