Li predicted the impact of the last round of tariffs on China's GDP growth this year will not exceed 0.2 percentage points. Earlier, the International Monetary Fund predicted a 0.5 to 1.5 percentage point decrease in China's GDP growth.

From February to December 2011, the junior student hitchhiked around the country, using more than 200 free rides to tour 18 provinces.
