Humorous politician back with a bang

After retiring as the foreign minister and maintaining a low profile for about two years, 69-year-old Li Zhaoxing yesterday returned to spotlight with his trademark humor and Shandong dialect.

As the spokesman for the second session of the 11th NPC, Li took 12 questions from domestic and foreign reporters, ranging from the country's military budget, economic downturn, and political reform, to the recent Christie's auction of two stolen Chinese relics at a press conference.

The conference, held at the Great Hall of the People, was constantly interrupted by laughter, triggered by Li's unique sense of humor and impulsive responses.
