Chinese leaders have approved nominees for top government jobs, state media said, as the ruling Communist Party also promised changes to the country’s regulatory structure.
The party’s Central Committee agreed on the list during a three-day conclave that ended Wednesday in Beijing, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. State media didn’t release names or their intended posts, which could potentially include the top central bank job.
