Beijing promoted 10 officials to full membership of the Communist Party’s Central Committee at a major political gathering this week, where the normally routine process of filling vacancies took on new significance.

The names of the officials who have filled the vacant slots were included in a communique released at the end of the fifth plenum of the party’s 20th Central Committee on Thursday.

The event, which focused on party discipline and the fight against corruption, confirmed that 24 full members and 11 alternate members of the committee had been expelled, the highest number in recent years.
