Retired Chinese leader Hu Jintao , the 79-year-old predecessor to Xi Jinping , was the focus of a highly unusual stir at Saturday’s closing session of the Communist Party’s twice-a-decade congress, making an unceremonious exit mid-proceedings. The departure of Mr. Hu appeared to illustrate how Mr. Xi’s supremacy has been aided by a generational shift in power. Jiang Zemin , the 96-year-old who led the Communist Party from 1989 to 2002, didn’t appear at all among the almost 2,300 delegates in the Great Hall of the People, during neither the Oct. 16 opening nor the Oct. 22 closing sessions of the party congress.

BEIJING — China announced Saturday its new central committee would include many known allies of Chinese President Xi Jinping, while several officials with more market-leaning tendencies were not on the list. That central committee then goes on to determine the core leadership — the Politburo and its standing committee. Four of the current seven members of the Politburo standing committee were not on the list. Li Qiang, Shanghai's party secretary, and his Beijing counterpart Cai Qi remained on the central committee list. Other Xi loyalists the Asia Society had identified were included in the list of new central committee members.

REUTERS/Tingshu WangBEIJING, Oct 22 (Reuters) - China's Communist Party wrapped up its twice-a-decade congress on Saturday, approving amendments to its charter aimed at cementing Xi Jinping's core status and revealing a new Central Committee missing two key officials lacking close ties to Xi. The new Central Committee on Sunday will choose the elite Politburo Standing Committee, with Xi, 69, widely expected to secure a third leadership term. Among the amendments to the party constitution, the "Two Establishes" define Xi as the "core" leader of the party and cement his ideas as the guiding principles of China's future development. Voting was conducted by show of hands in the vast Great Hall of the People, where much of the week's party congress proceedings have taken place behind closed doors. At its first plenum on Sunday, the party's new central committee will choose the next Politburo, which is typically 25 people, and its new Standing Committee.

China's top leadership team around President Xi Jinping is set to change this month at a twice-a-decade congress. One of the most closely watched changes in the political reshuffle is the future of Premier Li Keqiang, who turned 67 this year. However, he could remain a standing committee member, JPMorgan analysts said, pointing to a precedent at the 15th party congress. Huang Kunming — Politburo member and head of China's propaganda department, who worked closely with Xi in the provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang, the report said. Yang Jiechi, a 72-year-old Politburo member and director of the party's central committee foreign affairs office, is widely expected to retire.
