The Maoist uprising against the landowners was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, resulting in an almost completely equal redistribution of land among peasants
We'll have to see what happens over the next few years, he may not even be in consideration for the position. He was an odd pick imo. I thought Xi would leave Li Keqiang there, but from what I understand they did not get along. The west liked Li Keqiang too.
I think Li Qiang was likely chosen to signal to the west that China would welcome their investments much to the chagrin of the US who has been trying to pry it away via sanctions and the continuing trade war. In that sense he was a good choice for his current position. The more the west spends in developing China the better for them.

No problem, yeah, every once in a while there is another researcher who is claimed to be a "Chinese Spy", though it has seemingly slowed down after multiple cases turned out false. Just another part of the latest red scare.
The per capita electricity consumption will likely increase in the coming years, but compared to developed nations it is still low. Developing storage tech will be important for everyone as wind and solar are so weather dependent. Hope they figure it out, China's development of solar production has already been a boon to cheaper solar panels in the world.
I really hope so, but as in China, it will require massive state funding and direction that I'm just not sure the US is willing to commit to. The US makes so much money from fossil fuel it would require taking a hatchet to a part of the economy that pays lobbyists and politicians handsomely.
