The Chinese Communist Party's leaders endorsed the decision to expel Bo Xilai. Bo had been the bid for one of the party's highest positions. He had been accused of abusing his power, taking large bribes, and hindering a police investigation into the death of a British businessman. Bo's wife was convicted of the murder in August. The party has also decided to expel Liu Zhijun, the railway minister, for recieving bribes in excess of $100 million. The current president is to be replaced by Xi Jinping, and the current prime minister is to be replaced by Li Keqiang. The Central Committee also voted to make two generals vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission. China's government, as a whole, is going through major changes in the coming months.
