The 69-year-old leader is expected by some to try to stay in power for life.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Xi\u2019s predecessor, 79-year-old Hu Jintao, abruptly left a meeting of the party Central Committee with an aide holding his arm. That prompted questions about whether Xi was flexing his powers by expelling other party leaders. The official Xinhua <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> Agency later reported Hu was in poor health and needed to rest.<\/p>\n<p>The party also named a seven-member Standing Committee, its inner circle of power, dominated by Xi allies after Premier Li Keqiang, the No. 2 leader and an advocate of market-style reform and private enterprise, was dropped from the leadership on Saturday. That was despite Li being a year younger than the party&#8217;s informal retirement age of 68.<\/p>\n<p>Xi and the other Standing Committee members <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared for the first time as a group before reporters Sunday in the Great Hall of the People, the seat of China&#8217;s ceremonial legislature in central Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>Xi announced Li Qiang, a former Shanghai party secretary who is no relation to Li Keqiang, was the No. 2 member and Zhao Leji, a member of the previous committee, was promoted to No. 3. The No. 2 committee member since the 1990s has become premier while the No. 3 heads the legislature. Those posts are to be assigned when the legislature meets next year.<\/p>\n<p>Leadership changes were announced as the party wrapped up a twice-a-decade congress that was closely watched for signs of initiatives to reverse an economic slump or changes in a severe \u201czero-COVID\u201d strategy that has shut down cities and disrupted business. Officials disappointed investors and the Chinese public by announcing no changes.<\/p>\n<p>The lineup appeared to reflect what some commentators called \u201cMaximum Xi,\u201d valuing loyalty over ability. Some new Standing Committee members lack national-level government experience that typically is seen as a requirement for the post.<\/p>\n<p>The promotion of Li Qiang was especially unusual because it puts him in line to be premier despite not having experience as a Cabinet minister or vice premier. However, he is regarded as close to Xi after the two worked together early in their careers in Zhejiang province in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>Li Keqiang is the top economic official but was sidelined over the past decade by Xi, who put himself in charge of policymaking bodies and wants a bigger state role in business and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> development.<\/p>\n<p>Li Keqiang was excluded Saturday from the list of the party\u2019s new 205-member Central Committee, from which the Standing Committee is picked. He is due to step down as premier next year.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP video journalist Caroline Chen contributed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
