(Front row, L to R) China's President Hu Jintao, China's former President Jiang Zemin, China's Premier Wen Jiabao, Standing Committee of the Political Bureau member Li Changchun and China's Vice-Premier Li Keqiang raise their hands as they take a vote at the closing session of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, November 14, 2012. China's Communist Party congress offered the first clues on a generational leadership change on Wednesday as Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang took the first step to the presidency and premiership, respectively. The 2,270 carefully vetted delegates cast their votes behind closed doors in Beijing's cavernous Great Hall of the People for the new Central Committee, a ruling council with around 200 full members and 170 or so alternate members with no voting rights.
