The official account (October 24) of how the new central leadership was chosen titled: 'A
Strong Leading Group Leading the New Era, New Journey, and New Glory - Documentary of
the Party's New Central Leading Body', stated "Starting from April 2022, General Secretary Xi
Jinping has arranged time to talk to the current members of the Political Bureau of the CPC
Central Committee, Secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, Vice President
of the State, and members of the Central Military Commission, and fully listened to their
opinions." It said during the interview and survey, everyone agreed that the members of the
new central leadership should be politically strong, loyal to the party, strong in political
judgment, political comprehension, and political execution. A conscious practitioner of
"maintenance". It asserted that "Party and national leadership positions are not 'iron chairs', and
those who meet the age may not necessarily continue to be nominated. We must insist on
career-oriented, according to work needs, candidate conditions, integrity and image reputation.
Establish a clear employment orientation in the new era. When the new central leadership was
mulling candidates and soliciting opinions, some leading comrades from the party and the state
put the interests of the party and the people first and were highly responsible for national
development and national rejuvenation. Coming up, it shows the broad-mindedness and highspiritedness of the Communists".
(Comment: In the past, the Standing Committee usually approved the list on September 25,
and it was approved again at the Politburo meeting on September 29. This time, the Standing
Committee passed it on September 28, and the Politburo passed it on September 29. There was
basically no time for the Politburo to discuss. From the beginning of 2022, the Party has said
that General Secretary Xi Jinping has carefully listened to the opinions of comrades on the
Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee on how to prepare
candidates for the new leadership of the Central Committee. An analyst who has carefully
studied documents such as the Documentary on the Emergence of the Party's New Central
Leading Body noted that the biggest difference this time from the past is: (i) The whole article
does not mention listening to the opinions of the old comrades, implying that the establishment
of this leading body has nothing to do with the old comrades and (ii) The "Standing Committee"
has been repeatedly emphasised. It seems that this leadership team was mainly discussed and
approved by the Standing Committee. This was not the case the previous few times.)
