TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Hundreds, possibly thousands, of people gathered Thursday near a state funeral home in Beijing as former Premier Li Keqiang was put to rest, while a steady stream of mourners showed their respects with scores of bouquets at the ex-leader’s childhood home in central China.

Police also moved people away from a subway station near the Babaoshan cemetery where ...
