On September 8, the CCP’s Politburo decided to hold the 4th Plenary Session of the CCP’s 17th Central Committee from September 15 to 18.
According to Beijing political analysts, a key point to watch is whether Politburo Standing Committee member Xi Jinping could become vice chairman of the CCP’s Military Comission. That position may pave the way for Xi to succeed Hu Jintao in the CCP’s 18th Congress in 2012.

Xinhua cited an unidentified overseas media saying China may consider tougher measures against U.S. military surveillance operations in its coastal waters. On August 27, China, at a U.S.-China maritime military security meeting, said, "the ultimate way to resolve U.S.-China maritime incidents is for the U.S. to change its surveillance and survey operations policies against China, and decrease and eventually stop such operations." “Overseas media hold that to date this is the most explicit statement from China on the U.S. reconnaissance activities, which may mean that China will take tough measures against the U.S.” A Chinese military expert expressed that China can first issue warnings, followed by expulsion. “If that does not work, China can proceed to surround the intruding vessel and sink it.”
