BEIJING -- China's ruling Communist Party concluded its twice-a-decade National Congress on Tuesday after enshrining President Xi Jinping in the party's charter and selecting core members for the next five years, laying the groundwork for Xi to install allies in the country's highest leadership posts.
Five of the seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee -- the top decision-making body -- are retiring, including Wang Qishan, Xi's anti-corruption chief and right-hand man. They have been removed from the newly selected Central Committee membership.
