A new composition of the Central Committee was elected in China

The delegates of the 18th Congress of the Communist Party of China elected a new composition of the Central Committee, having completed the party session that lasted week, RIA Novosti reports. The main result of the congress was the choice of new compositions of the Central Committee and the Central Commission for the Checking of Discipline. According to the regulations, before the official elections of the Central Committee and the CCP, the delegation held preliminary discussions and elections of candidates from the list proposed by the Presidium. From the last congress, the order has been established by which the number of candidates included in the lists for preliminary elections by more than 8 percent should exceed the number of members of the Central Committee and the CCPD.

As expected, the number of members of the Central Committee included the vice-chairman of the PRC Xi Jinping and the Deputy Prime Minister Lee Ketsyan, who will soon have to occupy the highest leading posts in the state. At the session, the deputies adopted resolutions on the reporting report of the Central Committee and the CCPD, and amended the charter of the party.

It is expected that the current Secretary General of the Central Committee of the CCP and the chairman of the PRC Hu Jintao will be replaced by his deputy Xzinpin. Following the change of party leadership in March next year, a new head of state will also be approved (according to the established tradition, the leader of the CPC becomes). At the end of the congress, the new Central Committee will hold the first plenum at which the new Secretary General, members of the Politburo and the Permanent Committee of the Politburo of the Central Committee will be elected.
