Former Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, whose tenure was often eclipsed by the towering presence of President Xi Jinping, passed away at the age of 68.

Li’s death marks the end of an era for Chinese politics and raises questions about the future of leadership in the world’s most populous nation.

Li Keqiang served as Premier of the State Council from 2013 to 2023, presiding over a period of economic growth and technological advancement. However, his time in office was largely overshadowed by Xi Jinping, who consolidated power and emerged as the dominant figure in Chinese politics.

Despite his subdued role, Li played a crucial part in managing China’s economy and overseeing key policies, including the country’s response to the global economic challenges. His pragmatic approach and focus on economic stability earned him respect both domestically and internationally.

As China mourns the loss of a leader who navigated the complexities of Chinese politics with finesse, the world watches closely to see how his passing will impact the balance of power within the Chinese Communist Party. #featured

ADP reports a surprising decline in November private sector jobs, raising concerns about labor market resilience and consumer sentiment.

ADP has revealed a surprise decline of 32,000 private sector jobs in November, signalling renewed pressure across the labour market. Small businesses in particular have been hit hardest, raising fresh concerns about resilience heading into the new year.

Economists warn that slowing hiring momentum and weakening pay growth point to a broader shift in worker demand. With consumers increasingly expecting unemployment to rise, sentiment across industries continues to cool.

The market now turns its attention to the upcoming Bureau of Labor Statistics report, which will offer a crucial read on whether this slowdown is temporary—or a sign of something much larger.
