Li Keqiang creates 'buzz' with use of Internet lingo

It was unusual to hear Internet buzzwords from a top Chinese official.
When Premier Li Keqiang delivered this year's government work report at the 12th National People's Congress on Thursday, he said the government should fight against excessive use of power by people who are "renxing" - a word popular on the Internet that has gone beyond its traditional meaning of "headstrong" to also refer to someone who carelessly squanders money and power.
It's not the kind of word one expects to hear in a top government document.
