The 20th CCP Politburo was noted as the first to include a former Minister of State Security[1] and the first Politburo with no women in 25 years.[2] All members are Han Chinese, the majority ethnic group in the country.[3] According to party convention, party leaders aged 68 or above are not eligible to remain in the Politburo.[4] Prior to the Congress, CCP general secretary Xi Jinping stated that he would not be retiring, and instead would seek a third term as the paramount leader and fourth term as member of the Politburo.[4]
