Ralph Weber gave an interview on swissinfo.ch that was published on 27. October 2023. The interview was featured in the article titled "Li Keqiang: the ex-Chinese premier who wanted open trade with Switzerland." Ralph Weber explains that during his tenure as the premier of the People's Republic of China, Li Keqiang emphasized the economy and international trade, but was not a political reformer. He concluded the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Switzerland in 2014, which, however, was under discussion since 2007.
