Liu was known for his sedate and humorous style in briefing reporters on China's foreign affairs.
"I should watch out for not only who are raising their hands, but also who are untying their shoelaces," Liu said when asked to comment on a reporter who threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush in the Middle East last month.
