    Chinese Premier Li Keqiang’s ‘stall economy’ proposal met with criticism from within CCP


    (link) TAIPEI (Taiwan News)— The two most powerful figures in the Chinese leadership appear at odds with each other over a stimulus approach for the economic recovery, pointing to a rift in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
