    The fifth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China opened in Beijing on Oct 26 for four days, with Xi Jinping delivering a work report on behalf of the Politburo and explaining a draft decision on major issues in persistently advancing full and rigorous Party self-governance. Hong Kong's Ming Pao reported that about 45 people are expected to be expelled from the Central Committee at the session, including Liu Jianchao, former head of the party's International Department. According to the report, Liu was found to have seriously violated discipline and the law and was demoted from full ministerial rank to section level.
