As Xi Jinping seeks his third term in power in the upcoming 20th Communist Party Congress, one man is counting down to retirement.
Li Keqiang, premier of the Chinese government and the country's second-most powerful man, is expected to quit politics after 10 years of ruling China with Xi.
While Li, 67, will have to wait until March 2023 to end his role, his name will likely be excluded from the list when Congress announces the new group of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders in October.
