Former Chinese premier dies of heart attack

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, a reformer and environmentalist, died of a heart attack. He prioritized fighting pollution over growth. Millions of Chinese citizens are mourning the death of the former premier, who championed market reforms and spoke out against rising poverty and inequality. Despite being considered one of Beijing's most educated officials, some analysts suggest Li was sidelined by President Xi Jinping's tightening grip on power. Nevertheless, Li's legacy includes declaring war on pollution in 2014 and steering the world's second-largest economy through the COVID-19 pandemic. He will be remembered as the people's premier who died too young. Al Jazeera's Katrina Yu reports from Beijing.
