Xinhua announced that the 17th Party Congress will introduce a change to the CCP Constitution. The key issue here is whether the revision is a "theoretical" one or a procedural one. Most likely, it will be a theoretical one adding Hu Jintao's scientific development and advance nature of CCP members into the constitution. However, it would be really exciting and interesting if procedural amendments are added. It could make clear the status of the many experiments in both leadership selection and decision-making that have been taking place at the local level.
