Quote from the Guardian:

"As the country's new leaders take on their governmental roles – Xi Jinping, the Communist party general secretary, will become president; Li Keqiang will become premier – the sober new tone reflects Xi's dual theme of tackling official excess and abuses and ardently pursuing the 'Chinese dream'."

"In remarks published this weekend, Xi's message appears to be connecting with ordinary people concerned about corruption, the arrogance of officials and growing inequality."
