Vice-president steps down in China reshuffle
Closing a week-long party congress, delegates selected a new Central Committee, a body that approves leadership positions and sets broad policy goals, with Vice-President Zeng Qinghong not among those selected, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.
Mr Zeng’s absence means he cannot be in the Politburo or its Standing Committee, the grouping that runs China, whose members the Central Committee will approve today.
