Concerned about maintaining social and political stability, Li promoted a cautious approach towards Chinese economic reform. As premier, he oversaw a rapidly growing economy, with the GDP rising by almost 10 percent a year. For his part in the violent suppression of the Tiananmen protests in 1989, he remains personally unpopular with large segments of the Chinese population.
