Delegates present at the Congress of the Communist Party of China conducted the first voting for the most significant leadership change in China in a decade. These delegates initiated a process on Tuesday that will ultimately remove nearly all senior party leaders. It was reported that in the preliminary voting, a new central committee would be elected, but the results of this voting have not been announced. In reality, this voting holds little value, as party officials have predetermined who should be elected. Observers of Chinese affairs say that the Communist Party leaders are using this voting to ensure that the delegates vote as intended.
