Six promoted to Politburo as China elevates younger leadership
Peking AP. The Communist Party promoted six men in their 50s and 60s to full Politburo membership, part of Deng Xiaoping’s push to refresh the leadership. The five new full members plus one alternate on the body join a reshaped Politburo as veterans exit. Central Committee also elevated Li Peng Tian Jiyun and Wang Zhaoguo to the Secretariat, with two former alternates becoming full members. The move tightens Deng’s control as the Politburo stands at 20 full members and two alternates. The Central Committee’s revamp introduces 64 newcomers in an average age of 50 amid the ongoing reforms. Chen Yun criticized reform doubts in a televised speech, urging balance between planned economy and market forces.
