What overseas academics would ask Premier Li Keqiang

The biggest problem in Africa is the lack of discipline and greed - how can we apply the Chinese ethic and standards to African society from grass roots levels so that we can overcome these problems over time and become a people of wealth creation and not just consumers.

My question would be simple: what is the economic legacy that you would like to leave for future generations?

I would ask Premier Li how he would deal with the smog/haze issue that has attracted lots of public and media attentions in recent years.

It will be very important that Premier Li meets our new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau privately for at least a full day. I realize this is a significant investment of your time.

Canada has just gone through a "generational change" in leadership, and these changes will start to occur elsewhere in the world. China's leadership can provide helpful guidance, and your views, as an established statesman, would be helpful.

But at the same time I would hope that PM Trudeau will be able to debate with you on issues that will represent a discussion between equals.

Being so close to the United States, we will be unavoidably affected by the result of the current US presidential election cycle, and Canada will likely have to make some serious foreign policy adjustments in the new future.

What trend that you see abroad most intrigues you? What trend abroad most disturbs and worries you?

Knowing what the premier looks at abroad I think would be very telling as to the sense through which China sees the world and how it wants to interact with the rest of the world.
