Various of Clinton and Li in talks STORYLINE: China formally installed the Communist Party's second-ranked leader, Li Keqiang, as premier on Friday - as a once-a-decade leadership transition neared its well-ordered conclusion. The party-controlled legislature overwhelmingly selected Li, the only candidate for the post, 2,940 in favour with one opposed and six abstaining. "I am really satisfied. He listens to ordinary people's voices. We also have hopes that he will build a wonderful China," said Wu Yongtai, a National People's Congress delegate. A day earlier, the legislature similarly appointed Xi Jinping to the ceremonial post of president, making him China's pre-eminent leader following his ascent last November to head the Communist Party and the military. Though the outcome of the legislative session was a foregone conclusion, it is the result of years of fractious behind-the-scenes bargaining. The premier and president hail from different factions. Li Keqiang is a protege of the now-retired President Hu Jintao while Xi Jinping is the son of a revolutionary veteran with backing among party elders. After Li's selection was announced, he and Xi shook hands and smiled for photographers in the Great Hall of the People. Evidence of their ability to forge consensus will be seen on Saturday when appointments to the Cabinet and other top government posts are announced. Together, Xi and Li now steer a rising global power beset with many domestic challenges that will test their leadership. Chief among them are a sputtering economy that is overly dominated by powerful state industries and mounting public anger over widespread corruption, a burgeoning income gap and social inequality. An increasingly vocal Chinese public is expressing impatience with the government's unfulfilled promises to curb abuses of power by local officials, better police the food supply and clean up the country's polluted rivers, air and soil.
