BEIJING (AP) — China’s ruling communist elite began a
closed-door meeting Thursday to finalize preparations for a painstakingly
choreographed but still fraught transfer of power to a younger generation of leaders.
The meeting of the policy-setting
Central Committee is its last before Communist Party leader Hu Jintao and
others in his government begin to cede power to Vice President Xi Jinping and
others at a congress that opens Nov. 8.
On the agenda for the committee
is approving a policy platform that Hu will deliver at the congress, as well as
a report by the party’s internal watchdog body, the government’s Xinhua News
Agency reported.
The Central Committee — comprised
of about 370 people from the upper ranks of the party, government and military
— is also expected to voice its condemnation of two already purged officials:
ex-railway minister Liu Zhijun, who faces corruption charges, and Bo Xilai, the
charismatic rising star now accused of a range of misdeeds including covering
up his wife’s murder of a British businessman.
Bo’s ouster earlier this year
widened rifts within a leadership that likes to project an image of unity. It
also complicated the bargaining over the roster of new leaders.
