During the World Economic Forum (WEF) summer meeting in Dalian, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang suggested leveraging traditional Chinese medicine theory to address China's economic issues, emphasizing the need to 'avoid using strong medication.' However, international media noticed that Li's remarks seemed to have been 'scrubbed off' the Chinese internet. While official media outlets like Xinhua only mentioned the 'nourishing the roots to foster growth' part of his statement, reports from Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po and others implied that Li's candid assessment of the economic situation might have caused unease within the government. The removal of articles discussing his comments hinted at potential discord within Chinese economic policies and the overly cautious approach being taken in the face of economic challenges.
