Immediately 4 members of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China lost their postsMore than 2,000 delegates at the party Congress held every five years in Beijing elected a Central Committee consisting of 205 people. Among them, Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqian and three other members of the CPC Politburo were unexpectedly absent. High-ranking Communists were expelled from the newly elected Central Committee on Saturday. The official reason for this was the achievement of the age limit for membership in the Committee. The appointment of officials more loyal to Xi Jinping in their place will allow him to strengthen his power within the party and in fact ensure his leadership of the country for many years to come. It is expected that the names of the new members of the Central Committee will be announced tomorrow.
